Thank you so much for sharing this. I prefer that you can show anything on YouTube so I can see how your body reaction, your eyes movement with music. We can learn so much more!
Could you tell me which Guitar Wisdom lesson video?
So everyone really can understand about the original then your homework.
Thank you.

Hi Tomo,
Ok I have been working for some time on my adventure as advised into the Rose Room. I will start a Instagram(?) channel and will record my guitar wisdom adventures as possible.
So to answer in part your question, I happened upon and watched first, your video about triads, It has been a while and I watched many of your videos since then, so I hope I have it correct, (probably not), it was ~ midnight, you had your black cat, and you commented it was around the first day of school, and you wished rather then diagrams and shapes, your new students knew triads,
then you started with F, (and C ). and root , 3 5 which became, ( I do not know soffege,) I think Do (ra) mi (fa) LO . My ear could hear that you really connected with your instrument, your Do Mi So sing song notes were matched in pitch and spirit with your guitar voicing, that was awesome, I don't usually "pull" my chords apart, in real time, I thought that ws something to and try and internalize if possible...
Then you moved on to a quick journey into B Flat blues , but your blues was very jazzy, I was surprised, I heard sort of a bebop blues, with a funk hard 1 and major 3 but flat 7, "shell chords" I thought and occasionally flat 5, not a 9 sometimes 2 but the chord voicing was "open" IDK,l what I heard was an in tempo sophisticated swing blues/big band, sound like 2flat7 mixed with add9, and major 7 chords
then I thought you you switched gears and played a quick perfect pitch and tempo BB King, I believe it was live a the Regal, line which I thought was in C(?)
then went back to triads. C F B Flat A then as I recall some inversions, which I also do to know yet, I can only put notes together based on "in key" and super position of the various modes scales of a key bass on the 6th or 5th string root position...
I thought, well I can do none of those great skills with any talent, I play a very home brewed version of guitar, so Guitar Wisdom felt a great place to get my guitar playing up a notch so I could let my friends hear my tapes without worry, as I just bravely sent out a Soundcloud song to a few and surprisingly they all thought it interesting and cool. I noted it was a bit flawed inlaces, One said we could "clean it up in the mix".
Well I knew that was not t true, my playing wasn't crisp, my timing was ok but I, was unsure of my chord voicings and played "safe" minor E over Funky Broadway bass line and really wanted to focus my ear and guitar and enjoy the journey to better chops and more enjoyable music making.
I also found something special about your be kind to yourself, don't compare, be strong at your fundamentals, make sure your clean sound is clean, and er , know which note is the 1 do, the 3 mi (ma flat 3) so and I guess the flat 7 ti ta? none of which I can do in real time yet. so I have invested that spare time in working on the core guitar wisdom. center on exploring Benny Goodman , Charlie Christen and the Rose room. using mostly a "not for sale " original wax version of the Charlie Christen Solo Flight album my Uncle Jimmy gave me in 1976 when I first bought my Rickenbacker 450 (?) from a high school friend.
As I recall, Jimmy said that this album was the first cut, went to vinyl and the tempo moved too much for the studio execs so they had some tracks remastered by manipulating the tape, at least as I recall circa 1976..
I have taken the new Ai and created the chord charts of what I have played live no chart open and then I also have the chart of what the programs say the original chords are. I am slowly improving and my pick is " dancing" correctly and my sound is much cleaner , even with this short journey I have improved very noticeably on the recordings, I sound much closer to what I imagine I sounded like before :)
Thank you so much for your reply! Awesome!
Actually I just did a duet with my Berklee student, playing Rose Room Solo.
1) Triad... Please check simple triad lessons here.
Name of notes
Intervals
Do Re Mi (Singing)
2) Learn R 3 7 / R 7 3
These are super important!
Simple chords!
You can learn Bb Blues then you can check "Jazz Standards" section.
Good job!
Thank you.
