Theory is awesome! It helps in a lot of areas, for ex: I just wrote 4 short compositions that are Halloween themed. And theory gave me some starting points and ideas on how I could make the music sound spooky 🙂
@santai – that’s awesome!
Overall we had 53 members participate in this month’s challenge! And guys, I know I sound like a broken record, but it’s so cool to see everyone come together and support each other as a community and to challenge ourselves to get better! Bravo to everyone who participated 🙂
Our September challenge is LIVE and the theme is: SONGS ABOUT FOOD! There’s also a very adorable prize for September! You can check out the new challenge here: https://rockclass101.com/september-2021-challenge
So without further ado, the winner of this month’s challenge is **drum-roll**
P.S. Stephen will post the last of the remaining feedback tonight 🙂
@gi_gi_ – Only for Kanile’a Giveaway Challenges 🙂
What I wanted to do was take bits from each version and stick it together. However I’m not sure if it’s all in the same key (or if that even matters).
You would need to play in the same key as ours. If you need help transposing, Stephen could help you in a Skype lesson.
I’ve started learning the Phrygian dominant scale in A for all the finger style bits but am not sure if I can use this key with the rock class version.
Yep, you can use that!
P.s I also watched an insane version by Paul Caca who is not using low G. So wondered if this would also be possible with the rock class version.
Unfortunately, he’s playing in a different key.
@johanna2509 – Well done, Johanna. Sounds great on guitar! And yes, those stretch chords are tough on that instrument, but your form looks great. Keep up the good work!
Welcome, @limitlessvibrations and cool song! So we’ve done one lesson that adds a percussive beat to strum patterns. Folks seemed to really dig this lesson, so we’ll prob do more in the future. But hopefully that gives you an idea to go from 🙂
@wongbrown – Well done, Sheila! I want you to work on keeping the swung feel throughout the piece. Try a slower tempo and play along with me in the tab player. That’ll help you stay locked into that swung feel.
@lhamilton – Sounds great, Linda! My only tip is to try to quiet the unwanted string noise when doing the single note lick in bar 28. You can cut down on the string noise by muting the open strings with the palm of your right hand. This lesson talks about this technique in more detail 🙂
@marianne – Bravo! Great playing Marianne 🙂
