Been working the Bb Blues Triads practice top 3 strings. This has been something in my warm up past chromatics. No Metronome, yet focus is on clarity with correct blues progression. My Amp is mostly bright, bass at 0, treble at 10, gain at 10, no effects. Let me know any feedback. Be Kind to yourself :) Thank you,

Thank you Johno! Love these triad inversions over Bb Blues. So smooth and great job!

Your amp is too close to your phone? Need to hear your room sound.

Smooth changes and not looking. Great job!
My wife has that same big cabinet! I'm not sure what is in it but know it is important to her :-)

Nice Kurt, it has been a practice in progress for a while. Happy you enjoyed my video, Thank you, Thank you. I really enjoy the sustain and pure tones, nothing fast with this one, all mellow. That is my wife's cabinet, and yes, very special to her too, a nice piece.

Nicely done Johno. I picked up the body movement to the rhythm and thumb also in good position towards center. Also that you are really listening to the notes sustaining. And as others said no looking at all.

Yes, you know how it is not looking at the frets Jeff, Thank you. I appreciate your support on this with these techniques; I was wondering about my thumb going too high up in second inversion. The rhythm has helped not think too much about missing the notes and really listening to the sound and feel of the fretboard. It is a good feeling all around. I love it!!

Absolutely love this Johno! Between the exercise, the focus on sound, and the application of small details from the July challenge, this is a great example of pure practice. Be proud of yourself!

Thank you Sammi, feeling good. Yes, it was a fun summer of triads top 3 strings. It is building every day, lovin' the guitar like a new instrument, it's amazing. Challenging myself and learning all kinds. Thank you for all you do. Off to practice :)
