Based on "I can't stand rain"
I love this chord changes very much!
G7 G7 C7 G7 = 1 1 4 1
Mini blues chord changes.
I often use this chord changes to teach simple melodic phrasing to my private lesson students.
I think Kurt wound enjoy this.
I played a lot of notes in the middle of this video.
Simple melodic phrasing is so important!
Leave me your feedback on this video.
Thank you so much!
Tomo
Oh Tomo! Thanks so much. You know me well.
I love when you teach these awesome jams. Just listening to this is very rewarding.
I'm practicing most things at slow speed, but I am listening and working on transcribing things at full speed.
This is really helpful.
Also, I heard this song on a TV commercial last night for Pella Windows! Ann Peebles peoples are enjoying the fruits of her genius.
I read that she wrote this as she was about to leave her house to see a concert. It was raining. She told her partner "I can't stand the rain" They looked at each other and started writing the classic song and never left the house.
Kurt
Thank you Kurt!
So happy to hear that!
You can hear BB King, diatonic triads, arpeggios, one string approach!
Essential theory (Mixolydian without shapes!)
Great attitude! Learn, transcribe at full speed.
Practice at slower pace (not comfortable tempo!)
I am so glad that I made this for you!
Great way to write "LIFE" Beautuful!
Tomo
Thank you. I appreciate your encouragement so much!
The important Mixolydian lesson.

"I'm So Glad!"- Skip James (and the Cream)
You're very welcome!
Please enjoy!
Today I made " Mandocaster " video for my YouTube Channel.
And I played " G7 G7 C7 G7 " groove... so I improvised a little with a Mandocaster.
I will post tomorrow Friday at 3pm EST.
Very interesting and you can apply that idea to guitar playing,.
Tomo
Mandocaster? Oh boy!
I love new lessons for the weekend!
You are keeping us busy and I appreciate it so much.
Kurt
Yes! I only learned about this instrument for 4 days (About 4-5 hours total!)
So it's refreshing and fun!
Thank you.
Tomo
Nice great great! Think I noticed when you were playing a lot of notes the lighter picking and touch you’ve been talking to us about. Sounds really great. And goes to show how you can do so much musically with two chords
Thanks so much! Yes! More notes, less digging in (light touch!)
Tomo
I keep dropping my pick. I have been cranking my amp and picking softly trying some really light weight 50mm and 60 mm Dunlop picks for fun. They flutter to the ground like autumn leaves when I lose my grip.
Kurt
I don’t ever drop my pick because I pick too hard and dig in so much. Working on finesse. Kurt you also have the TF signature picks 1.00 right
The filet mignon of picks. cooked up with some special magic material and better pointier profile shape. And motivational sayings
Sold! Good job Jeffrey. I'll get me some special magic TF picks. I don't use the ones that came with my CD's. They stay together like my bonded pair of kittens.
Kurt.
1.00mm is the best side for any styles!
Thank you Kurt!
Tomo
I have 7 picks in my pocket!
When I teach at Berklee... I often drop / slip my pick so I grab another one from the desk.
Pickboy TF signature picks are the best quality!
Thank you.
Tomo
I've totally kitten proofed this place, but I need to watch what I drop. A vet scared me when he told me about having to operate to remove an almond a cat ate!
Kurt
Coool Daddy-O !!!!!
Fntastic! If only I could get 10 percent as flexible, fast and skilled through your course Professor I would be in 7th Heaven!
I'm inspired to keep going.
Thank you Richard! Everything is possible!
Guitar is so good! So deep!
Thanks so much for your kind words!
Tomo
I made this video today!

G7 G7 C7 G7 Jam with 1965 Fender Musicmaster (12-52 set!)
Tomo
This is so great!
I am going to be watching this for years and years to come.
I'll thank you now on behalf of my future self.
Kurt
Thanks so much!
Tomo
Love it. The fast g g g g on different strings 2 and 3 I think, that part made me smile fun sound. 12–52 wow seems heavier than your usual 10-46. Sounds great
Great to know where the notes are on all the strings this shows why it’s important
Thank you Jeffrey! Same notes!
Yes. 12-52... I just wanted to feel (back then.... early, mid 60s with those size strings)
Thank you.
Tomo

I love this!
I just ripped the audio with YTMP3 and can really dive into this amazing jam.
Going to be a fun weekend!
Kurt
I am so happy to hear that!
Please enjoy it!
Have a great weekend!
Tomo
Hope you are having a great weekend too!
Great news for me: I finally scored sweet vinyl copies of Virtuoso, Midnight Blue and Green Street!
So happy to have physical copies of these important albums. Every track can be explored for years and years.
Kurt
Thanks so much!
Good news! Wow! Those 3 albums... so much information and inspiration!
Yes! So true! I do same! mp3... not effective like that.
Always pure hard work is the best!
Tomo
Green street and virtuoso would love to have these one day. I’m loving chicken fat Kurt. Mel plays so many notes in opening solo at first I thought my record was skipping
The Kyoto video today is very inspiring. I love this song so much.
Thanks for sharing this with us Tomo.
That’s interesting what you said before about the 12-52 stringing. Just rereading the comment and about how this was more standard gauge string sizes mid 60s -
Never knew this very interesting
They don't make calluses like they used too :-)
Thank you so much for watching!
KYOTO has a lot of good chords.
Please enjoy it!

Tomo
Thanks so much for the links.
I love this song!
The mayor of Kyoto should present you the key to the city and a big party we could all go to Japan for!
Kurt
You're very welcome!
Kyoto is a great training song for soloing.
Thank you.
PS, This summer I will go to Tokyo, Kyoto, Hidatakayama and Nagoya.
Nagoya is famous with "Fried Chicken" = Yamachan https://www.yamachan.co.jp/english/
By the way, KFC in Japan is amazing!
Tomo
That will be a great trip!
I love exploring and walking and meeting people and eating in other countries.
I bet a Yamachan franchise would do well in Seattle!
I couldn't believe how good the food was at a McDonalds in Bilbao, Spain.
Kurt
