Thank you. I will check that out!

Hey Charley, nice having you back. I remember you were a very activ member of the community 10 years ago - I was at guitartricks.com then - I left them 2012 because they changed the regulations for instructors there and at the beginning of 2019 I decided to have this community back online. 🙂 I think guitarpro is the best tool to have - and I really recommend that one. 🙂 and thats why I provide the guitarpro files here in the community. 🙂 I think I will work out something to start to understand modes better and how to use them. It's really a topic and it takes it's time to really understand it and to really be able to use them intuitiv in your playing.

OH Yes... I found a very cool tool today... it's free (of course there is an upgrade), but the free part is more than enough to work with. I dig this tool... it's called Fretastic - A Free Interactive Guitar Fretboard App the best I've ever worked with... check it out...

LoL... yep, That's why they call me OG... I'm seem to be the Old Guy in what ever circle. I know right... Started playing guitar 57 years ago. I've played at many levels. Bands, Session and so on. But dig. Life happens Sevier Motor Cycle Accident and boom all that was gone. Funny though, I could play but I didn't understand. After a number of years it started coming back. When I was Younger I was all bout Jazz and Blues In College. Love the Blues, and Jazz is, well, it's just plain fun. I love Theory, I it's the heart beat of everything. Yes, I must admit at many points it very boring. But, it all ties together and revelations begin and Boom... MUSIC! Music is my life. Really the only thing that has been with me all my life. And when I found HP many years ago. It pulled me out of a rut, a rut that I thought I'd never get out of. I look at my Instruments completely different... Yes Theory is very important... But HP Plays... Oh man... Love the style. Will I ever be able to do that... Well HP Says If I practice... Sure toss in some OG style and boom... It's all about the groove... Nice to meet you Michael, I'm back and it's time to have some fun!

Hello Charley, you may be a little older than I. However, I totally agree with you about music theory. Back at the beginning of time when I started playing guitar it was all about learning riffs, chords and what not. I played in bands live. However, I never learned the theory. Now that I am old and gray, theory is about all I really want to learn 🤣. It helps me understand what I'm playing and I play better knowing it!

I really enjoyed this. It is great hearing more of your music!

Yes I think theory is something which is still missing a bit. I thought I want to go for tutorials which really get students to understand and use the modes. And Les Paul was right. 🙂

Yeah these licks should give you new ideas how to use the pentatonic. 🙂

Hey Charley, thats nice to hear. I listened the show myself and I thought it was really entertaining for a possible audience. And yes in fact we only scratched the surface till now. I am also working myself hard at the moment to show more aspects of my music which I never published. And yeah the Blue Jean Blues is an awesome song. I think you can rock that one. You can let other students know in the students club about your practice plan. That section is for the students to interact. Slowly getting some life into this little community we have here. 🙂
