Hi everyone,

The Weekly Wrap Up is ready.

Have a great weekend!

This week we continued exploring Greg Lake's early songs with an acoustic
take on Take A Pebble. It has been really fun (for me at least) to look at
these great songs differently, never really considering them acoustic ballads
until hearing him revive them.

I recently received a couple requests that led to new stuff for our Target
members, including one for a new video walking through the chord solo
version of Waiting On A Friend by The Rolling Stones. I mentioned a long
time ago, when we added tab, that I would be happy to shoot a video if
anybody requested it. Well lo and behold, somebody finally did. I hope
anybody else working on it will find a little more insight in it as well.

Other new releases this week included an Alice In Chains lesson from our
buddy Max at Totally Electric Guitars, Rooster, and a Fly On The Wall lesson
where Ed innocently said something like, "Before we go there, I have a quick
question. What is a perfect fifth?"

Now I am sure most of you know that there are not many quick answers in
music, especially when I see an educational opportunity open up, and we
spent about 30 minutes talking about intervals in general before I gave him
the quick answer. I elaborated a bit on thirds in particular as part of today's
News.

One of the other requests I got this week was fingernail advice for someone
with weak nails. I know if I was doing shows even a couple nights a week my
nails would start causing problems. I would probably have to go the false nail
route like our friend Doug Young. The per who posed the question was not
ready to go there so I gave him my advice, and brought that up in the News as
well.

We also opened up a new room here at TG, the DVD Store. Many people have
asked us about making stuff available outside the streaming world and we are
working hard at that, hoping to add a couple new packages each month. Check
it out when you if you haven't already.

Along similar lines, we realized that some of our Target content was not
available outside the program on an individual basis, and this week released a
stand alone pack The Guide To Reading Music.

Other than that, there was the usual wanderings and musical ramblings, and
possible hints at upcoming lessons. Tune back in next week to see if any of
them materialize.

Stay Tuned & In Touch,

Neil

Neil, your explanation of thirds here, makes PERFECT sense. I guess I needed the lack of sleep that an all night flight to Paris can provide, to make me see the relationship of the 3rds to each scale. Funny what lack of sleep will do.

Something that may help with the problem we discussed is a reference to a lesson the has tabs for what your explaining.

As always, thanks.
Scott
