Yes, Becky. Check out the 2nd video in LP and jump 12 min into it: https://rockclass101.com/learning-paths/
Stephen, Katie and I are seeing Cynthia Lin’s show Thur night in LA if anyone’s interested in going: https://www.facebook.com/events/1258112107684854/. 🙂
Releasing this one early, since it’s tied to our Reading Course 🙂
LOL, I don’t think I can help you there! But the good news is the majority of our lessons have videos 🙂
Unfortunately, seems there is no fix:
“Usually when this problem happens, that is indeed the case — audio works fine with video, just not with the synth player, and flipping the little side switch fixes it.
I’m not sure what else it would be, to be honest. Apple does some weird things with audio in web pages…!”
I’d suggest using a different device for the synthetic player. Sorry for the inconvenience.
This was his response:
“This trips up a lot of people! Have them make sure their ringer/volume switch is turned on. It’s the binary switch on the side of the iPad. I’m 99% sure that’s the issue.”
Sounds like there isn’t a bug – but if this isn’t the case, please let me know and I can send to him to further troubleshoot.
Aww Maureen, we’re tied up Thur and are actually leaving NAMM around 12ish on Friday and heading to LA for the day.
Sounds great, Sheila! I would suggest to slow the tempo by 10 to 15 BPM as it sounds like you are at your limit.
Great question! I created Learning Paths to answer 2 big questions:
1) where do I start?
2) what do I work on?
The guide was divvied up to address the beginner, intermediate, and advanced player. Its focus is to help you craft a custom practice schedule, where you could devote X amount of time to various areas. For example, if you are a beginner and you want to work on technique, let’s say adding a backbeat (a.k.a. “chucking”); You can input “backbeat” into the search field, which would display these results: https://rockclass101.com/?s=backbeat.
There are a lot of songs which use this technique, so you would want to double check them to their level. But a good one to start with would be, 12 Bar Blues Strumming, as it is a “beginner series” song.
I’d suggest level 1 songs for the seasoned beginner, level 2 for the intermediate, 3 and 4 for advanced.
I do need to go back and update LP as we’ve added over 40 lessons and the Reading Course since it was written. But, one thing I’d like to do – which harkens more on your original question – is to write structured, step by step lesson plans that you can follow. These would be detailed plans that focus on developing one area. I haven’t started working on this yet, but the idea is there, and I’d imagine that the structure would be something similar to what you see in our courses.
Fingerpicking Etude no. 11 talks about using the palm of the right hand to mute the strings that we do not want to hear (and are not playing).
