Hi Everyone,

The Weekly Wrap Up is ready!

Enjoy!

This week there were some great questions brought up by our Target members on the Forum, some great answers as well. In today’s update I quickly went over our new content, Secret Agent Man by Johnny Rivers, Home by American Idol winner Phillip Phillips, a Secret Agent Fly On The Wall with Fred, and A Fly video with Kevin that started out on I’m Yours by Jason Mraz but evolved into a system of recognizing chord relationships on the fretboard.

This also tied into a discussion about the Circle Of Fifths which I tried to comment on but I probably need to make a more structured lesson or series about this and how everything is related. I’m sure it is no more complicated than the Theory Of Relativity, which everybody is all over, right?

I also mentioned some of my recommended warm-up exercises and approach to modifying them as necessary. All in all this will probably prompt more, rather than less confusion. Maybe it will become a regular feature of the Weekly Wrap!

See you next week,

Neil

Neil,

Thanks so much for your answers to the exercises and the circle of fifths questions. I found it really interesting and I'll definitely be incorporating the barre chord exercises into my routine. I'll take another look at the flat picking songs and the Guiliani exercises as well (thanks Wiley).

Cool songs you started getting into at the end.


Great news wrap up. The news is becoming more and more valuable to me.

I love your work Neil.

Michele

(Since you're in a fingerpicking blues mood, another plea for "I Am The Light of this World.")

Definitely getting closer, but still a few others ahead of it on the list... Blake and Jorma possibly...
