Here's now a first recording. It's " Gemini " and as you might hear there is not actual key. It starts from the key of G major, then moves to Eb lydian, then to Db lydian. Later it goes to B lydian and finally to Bb major and it is played in a ethernal walz feeling. The different keys and the changing modes represent the way Gemini is changing opinions, thoughts and is jumping to conclusions and then suddenly changing the mind again. gemini.mp3

I was hoping someone else would tell their story first, but maybe others will also write intros too if I start things off? ? Hi, I’m an English-born American living in Japan. I recently (since the end of February) decided to take up playing guitar again after having stopped for more than a decade. The photo I chose for my profile is a photo of my first guitar - I bought it when I was 15 years old with money from my first summer job. I’m grateful I found HP’s channel; I like his enthusiasm and how he manages to sneak just enough challenge in the lessons so I don’t get overwhelmed but still feel I’m improving. Being a painter, I am also obsessed with colour and I like how HP uses colours in his music. Where are you from? What is your history with the guitar? What guitar technique are you working on at the moment? What is the current technique you can’t get the hang of and need to improve? For me, I’m really enjoying playing the Aeolian mode that I learned in the “Empty Bottle Blues” lesson and one technique I'm finding the most challenging is the “john lee hooker” lick from the “Blues Lick in E”.
