Hi Everyone,

This week's wrap up has just been released!

Enjoy!

http://www.totallyguitars.com/blog/guit ... 10th-2018/



We are heading into our California IGC next week but it has been business as usual here in a lot of ways.
A few new lessons: Pure Imagination, Who Knows Where The Time Goes by Sandy Denny and Airport
Convention
, The Carpenters’ For All We Know, and a FOTW with Kevin working on Midnight Rider by The
Allman Brothers and Uptight by Stevie Wonder
. I started the video with a stab at the melody to one of
those and tackled another a little later. There was a short 12-bar-blues improv somewhere in there too.

I was happy to see the responses to the Chord Puzzle thread, and elaborated on the subject in today’s
News as well.

We also have been running a sale on artist packs this week and there are just a few hours left so grab them
now if you are interested.

Other than that I am looking forward to spending next week with our IGC students and hope more of you
will consider joining us next year, either in Amsterdam or back here in Northern California. Details on 2019
camps will be coming along in a few weeks.

Thought about this some more.
As you explained, arranging the notes in thirds, got me to the thought that knowing the key first would probably explain the other chord names.
For example, if it were the Key of B, B6 (No5) / E, where B = Root, D# = 3rd and Lack of F#= no 5.

The Keys of G#m and Abm would explain the names G#m addb13 /Fb and Abm addb13 /Fb.
Etc etc.
