Our latest lesson was Singin’ Call by Stephen Stills, and since I still had my guitar in the D5 Tuning (DADDAD) today’s Update opened with some improvising and pieces of other Stills’ tunes that use it. There were snippets of Carry On, Suite: Judy Blue Eyes, 4 & 20, Love The One You’re With and Word Game (which I have not done a lesson on yet. The tuning also inspire me to expound a bit on modes, in particular the four most common and how you just lower one note at a time to get from Ionian (Major) to Mixolydian to Dorian to Aeolian (Minor).
Food for thought as we head into Thanksgiving…

Thank you Neil. As a self-taught hack, I love listening to real musician-teachers. Love your lessons.
So happy that I found this blog.
Happy Thanksgiving,
John
Thanks so much John for the nice words and thoughts. I feel very fortunate to be able to do this as my profession, which started as a hobby of course.
Happy Thanksgiving to you as well,
Neil
