Hi everyone,

The Weekly Wrap Up is ready.

Have a nice weekend!

Great week on the Forum and it inspired me to include a few lessons in the News.
There was a lot of playing and hopefully enough instruction for everybody to add
a few Elvis songs
to their repertoire. If not, maybe the next move is to add some
to the Listen Up section and get those ears working.

A couple of the new lessons this week were inspired by my students, hence Maroon
5’s Daylight
and José Feliciano’s rendition of Light My Fire. Vanessa brought us
another George Michael song, Father Figure, which led me into some Dick Dale surf
guitar thoughts (mostly butchered as there was no real forethought available).

We also had a heavy theory FOTW with Ed going into exotic scales, which coincided
with thoughts on the Altered Phrygian Scale Vanessa brought up in Father Figure.

I had a few more thoughts on Chris’s fabulous thread about TG omissions, including
mentioning that there are more songs here from some of the listed artists than
Tommy and Judy Collins, wondering who can figure out some of the cryptic references.

Them’s the highlights, I hope you enjoy the ranting!

Neil

Lots of interesting stuff in the news today Neil.

I have to say that that was pretty restrained ranting. :) I was definitely expecting fireworks. :)

Thanks for the mini lessons. :) Nice way to respond to the basic request; and more on the way potentially. Cool.

Sounds like Chris has now got NO excuse when Corina asks him to play an Elvis song. :)

Many thx Neil... I'm looking forward to the Chuck Berry riffs in next week's update haha.

Songs by artists on the 'not on TG' list?? Half a point scored for the Bert's version segment in Anji by Davey Graham ??

Edit - and Always on my Mind for an Elvis song ??

I think that's the one Neil means, one song that Elvis has covered which is in the TG-library. Always On My Mind, it's under Willie Nelson, otherwise I would have tackled that one for sure. :)
