Thank you Brian!
Good job coping my solo phrase!
Diminished arpeggios are so useful.
Augmented arpeggios too.
If I teach in private lesson, I suggest not use two pickups... just use one!
Guitar tone is always full 10 so your picking volume will add more colors from your touch!
Good job!
Thank you.

Thanks for the encouragement!
I’ve found that I can move through some lessons pretty quickly if I settle for “yeah, I think I got it.” But later, I realize I can’t remember half of it—much less apply what I supposedly learned. Sticking with a lesson to the point where I can perform it or record it with a backing track takes a lot more time and effort, but it definitely stays with me that way.
I really loved Tomo’s phrasing in the diminished arpeggio lesson— rich, complex, and tastefully executed. I could pick out some elements, like diminished, augmented, and chord tones, but I can tell there’s a deeper vocabulary at work. I was glad to be able to copy and “parrot” some of it, but I’d really like to go beyond imitation and understand how to build a personal palette of phrases—and more importantly, when and why to use them in the context of a chord progression. The deeper I go, the more I realize I’m just scratching the surface!
Cheers!
Brian
You're very welcome Brian!
It's better to stay with one lesson or one topic pretty long time.
No need to rush at all.
Thanks so much for your kind words.
I mix with blues and jazz so... it's not so complicated with scales.
More chord tone than scales.
Good job copying note for note.
Now it's time to play them slower.
Please enjoy more!

Hey Brian! You sound so good! I commend you for sticking with a lesson to the point where you can perform it. As you said, it takes a lot more time and effort, but it is so worth it. Keep on digging!
