Neil, just this week we added yet another new member Villisca, who introduced herself, and commented that she came to TG because she wanted to learn hallalujah by leonard Cohen.
Its a great song, one that I am fairly familiar with, but had never tried to learn. (I have too many irons in the fire as it is).

Anyway, just for kicks I went to that lesson to review it, and at the end, I found something that you haven't done much at all, and that iis a "behind the scenes look" at you building a chord solo for the lesson. It was awesome. I think about "How Too" all the time. I just seem to get stuck in some very plain versions of what you elaborate more on.

At the end of the lesson you commented that if we like this kind of stuff (your thought process of how you build these solos), you'll consider doing more in the future. Well Dude, consider it LIKED. I don't know if you had gotten any input back from this, but I love the idea.

I think it is probably more time consuming for you to add yet another segment to the lessons, but it is a pretty neat approach.


So, no questions just a comment on this thing that I hadn't seen before.


Scott :woohoo:

Hear Hear!! That chord solo was one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.

The glimpse of the genius which lies behind the arrangements is a real privilege but it's casting pearl before swine as far as I'm concerned. Lack of theory knowledge stops me from getting as much as I could from these videos. That said I'd love to see them when Neil does other chord solos.

I have got to check that out. I am a big fan of chord solos and I love whenever Neil adds them!! In fact I'm working on a chord solo now- but it's taking me FOREVER to get smoothed out!! :angry:
