One of Syn's really useful tips in Lesson 37 was to commit as much of the Circle of Fifths to memory as possible - something I had put off doing for a while before joining the school. So I decided to memorize it properly and see if I could write a short instrumental cycling through all 12 keys in Lydian - which gives it this weird wonky feel - I put a creative twist in this one and got my foot involved too. Definitely had too much fun making this :D enjoy!

NEW SOAD SONGS AFTER 15 YEARS
HALLOWEEN HELP
(This is non guitar related but sorta music related)
So my band are doing a Halloween live stream on Facebook tonight and we've all to dress up. Only problem is that I don't have a costume or an idea for one...anyone got any wacky ideas of how I could dress up without going and buying a costume?
Not sure what happened with the YouTube link but here's the Spotify link to my band's new tune!
Happy World Mental Health Day guys
I know us creatives get hit hard with these struggles, especially with the state of the world right now.
Just know that thing you're stressing over will work out and that you're only human. Check on that friend that's been a bit quiet, even check on the strong friend, and speak to someone if you need to.

Take care of each other x
So after my rant yesterday, I think someone was listening...we got another email today and after a last minute switch my band's song 'GLUE' will air on Made In Chelsea S20 E2 on MONDAY
!
Learning the hard way today that the Music Biz can throw you a curve ball...My band were supposed to have our most recent song placed on a pretty big TV show and it ended up not making the cut for the Episode.
At first when we found out we all excitedly rushed to get signed up to various royalty companies which cost us £200 each - money that none of us really have, In the middle of a pandemic that has put Musicians and the Self Employed under immense financial stress as it is. Defeated isn't the word!
Apologies for the rant, but I feel I can do it more safely/anonymously on here
So today I learned that it's really really tricky to tastefully improvise for 3 minutes straight and not cringe at some of what comes out
'Music Theory Bragger'?
Here's the video, guys! let me know your thoughts or anything that's unclear
Been working on a video this afternoon called 'Add COULOR to your Sweeps' It should be up here soon once it's finished processing!
My band dropped our new single called 'GLUE' today - here's the lyric video!
My band's new single 'Glue' is out now! Check it out
If anyone's up, my band are doing a live stream on Facebook to launch our new single! Come check it out
He who makes a Legend out of himself, gets rid of the pain of being a man
Vibing out to this legend today
Been learning the solo in this song recently (1:17) It absolutely blows my mind that Bireli Lagrene just improvised this!
So I was just teaching a private student not to think too much while improvising & I realised that I suffer from the same hesitation in some parts of my improv with 2-5-1's if I start to concentrate too much!
I decided to just sit with my guitar and force my fingers to continually play without thinking of where to go next - some interesting note choices to say the least, but putting that bit of pressure on really puts you to the test and helps your hands think on the fly
My band are live now on facebook! Go check it out
Been in a total jazz mood today, so I've went and filmed a short video on a fun Minor 2-5-1 hack I like to use. It shall be up soon! -
