3) Triad inversions on 123 set strings.

Please enjoy!

Nice notes Tadashi! I'm going to explore "Kyoto" rhythm part a little more, then I will join you.

Yes, Tomo-san, it's always exciting to start climbing a new mountain!

Clay, I also want to try ”Kyoto” someday. Let's do our best together!

Great feeling! Good job Tadashi!

Thank you Tadashi for sharing this video! So happy to be helpful! Today I played Masayoshi Takanaka song with other Berklee student today.

Tomo

Thank you, Tadashi!
You are really doing it!
Cooking along and grooving!
Always so fun to hear and see you play.
That is a fun song, like Blue Monk!

Thank you Kurt for encouragement! So much inspiration here at GW forum! Actually this place made my life better! I practice my foundation exercise everyday and am getting better result lately! My finger moves much smoother than before. Chromatic 1212 exercise, Classical etude in Eb and R 3 7 Swing Groove! Especially I am focusing on swing groove lately.... I play "There will never be another you" without a metronome so I am playing for fun! (Very slow tempo!)

I am so grateful!

Tomo

Thank you for your lovely comment, Kurt! I love this song too. I never get bored of playing the bossa nova rhythm!

So glad you are inspired by GW Forum Tomo! I am too.
Practice is fun! Especially when we see small improvements.
I always am happy when i hear you still practice the same things you teach us to practice.
Another You and the other Jazz Standards are all pretty new to me. Really fun to learn these important tunes.

By the way, I like that progression in the Sexy Dance song by Takanaka Masayoshi you did with your student.
Sounded great! I have never heard of him before.

Let's keep practicing for the fun of it :-)
Kurt

i love this conversation guys.
learning a lot, thank you.

i think that is the only way to sustain it.

Thank you, Tomo-san! I'll try changing the guitar tone. I'll try making progress slowly!

My pleasure! My guitar tone is always full 10 so I can hear all the details. Good job!

Tomo

Thank you Sammi for encouragement and sharing this video!
