ii-V scale tone approach

Approach the Am-D7-G chords from a scale tone above the chord tones. Going across the fingerboard with two notes per string.

practicing

Quote from a student at the end of a lesson. We were talking about practicing and he says "yes, I am motivated but I am just lazy."

Guitar setups/repairs

I just got back my Martin MC-28 from Patrick at iGuitar Workshop.

It plays the best it has ever played. I also had setups on my MC1P.13 and my i81.13usb.
They came back playing great too.

Highly recommended for anybody in Rockland, Orange, Westchester and Putnam areas.

Tell him Brian sent you.

He does great custom shop guitars. I should know - I brought one of the very first MC1's when I was working at Manny's. Still is my #1 guitar. I own a C90, C55P White Saturn( #1/12) and a DC1p.

Need to save up and get a DC1PEH(Abercrombie model with maybe a cedar top)

II-V chromatic approach

Ok, so I am sitting on the couch practicing “Giant Steps”, I come across this little lick that falls really nicely on guitar
over Am7- D7 to G. Play it in 6th position. We use chromatic approach to the 5th and root of Am then to the root and the 3rd of D7 and finally to the third of G and end on the root.

You could use this over a D triad in a rock setting also.

Another version, has us anticipating the D7 and the G chord by a beat.
