I teach my daughter the first principles of the minor pentatonic scale before moving on to my own journey with II, V, I changes.
Life too short for long YouTube videos? Interesting bits and go to timings underneath.
I wanted to do something positive with this time in isolation so I decided to get on top of few things that I've always wanted to get under my fingers, namely 'playing the changes'. My daughter also wanted to learn how to play a solo, so we both set ourselves two weeks to see how much we could accomplish.
I'm then joined by Mick, Andy Timmons and Joey Landreth to see how they'd approach it. Thanks guys!
And of course massive thanks to our AMAZING band: Dougie Mussard on drums, Adam Neely on bass and Jack Duxbury on keys. Wonderful humans!
