Hi Everyone,


This week's wrap up is live!

This week we had a few lessons that I was particularly fond of, which inspired me to noodle around with one, butcher
another, and offer a preview of what may be upcoming as an addition to another.


The videos alluded to included Sandy’s FOTW playing with the Soundbrenner metronome, Max’s look at Dig A Pony by
The Beatles
, Hello by Lionel Richie and our bossa nova lesson of the week, The Girl From Ipanema by Antonio Carlos
Jobim as done by Stan Getz and Joao Gilberto
.


The Beatles lesson sent me off into a story about working with a student this week on songs from Beware Of Abkco, a
classic bootleg of George Harrison demoing a bunch of songs for Phil Spector preparing for his album All Things Must Pass.





I also got into an explanation of harmonics and fret spacing inspired by Mike’s post from last week. It got a little technical,
even down to harmonic spots not over frets. Maybe it will pull Wrench back into the fold.


That’s it for January!


See you next week-


Neil

I am pleasantly surprised that you're (somewhat) familiar with Lionel Richie and even like his Hello. (I won't tell anybody) :cheer: :laugh: Such a nice progression to play around with. I in particular love how it moves in the chorus.

Theoretically speaking, in my mind i look at it just going from every chord to its chord IV. (even though Dm goes to G and not Gm)

But i guess you can also look at it as in going down a 5th (starting with A(m) to Dm), moving up a 4th to G, a 5th down to C, a 4th up to F, a 5th down to Bb. As in steps of course. Although i probably look at it more that way when playing it on the piano.

How do you look at it?

Beautiful chordsolo, pleasantly surprised hearing that one too! ;)

Additional lessons on Girl from Ipanenma would be amazing. For now will try to digest all that I can with what you have already posted. I am also working, and frankly struggling a bit, on City of Stars. Will keep at it today, but I have found it more frustrating than I thought I would.
