Well it's that time again to Just Use Sound To Improve Now...

Now we're getting jiggy with it - we have all our barre chords and all our open chords for the chord transcriptions! It's good to hear the difference between the opens and the barres and it doesn't take too much practice!

We're also gonna do a real solo... well it's a blues and it's based around the minor pentatonic, but I'm using other non scale tones too to make it a bit more fun, and it's 12 bars long, so you should find it a bit of a challenge.

We're doing more heavily syncopated rhythmic dictation too!

5C - Rhythmic Dictation Exercises (Q / E / S and rests)
In this exercise we are only using Quarter notes (Crotchets) and Eighth notes (Quavers) and also now adding in Sixteenth notes as blocks. And we still have some easy eighth note rests too! This should not be too hard, sixteenth note rhythms can get real complex - but we're just introducing them at this stage!
