I am looking at that tune and another, slightly later one that was requested for an upcoming lesson. This led to an unplanned (OTR?) mini-tip on the Blues Scale. Later, there is a planned tip that picks up on last week\u2019s chat about memorizing the seven Natural Triads. This week I expanded it to a way to memorize the seven Natural Major Triads.<br \/>\nTied to the thread about James Taylor songs and lesson requests, I talked a bit about other recent suggestions, including how <a href=\"https:\/\/totallylessons.com\/forum\/viewtopic.php?f=160&#038;t=27471\">I Can\u2019t Wait<\/a> seemed like a short, easy one to knock out for everybody until I listened a second time and heard a few new things I will have to address. I also did a little improv based on <a href=\"https:\/\/totallylessons.com\/forum\/viewtopic.php?f=160&#038;t=27473\">Dan Fogelberg\u2019s Todos Santos<\/a>, maybe enough to get some of you trying it yourselves.<\/p>\n<p>As you may know, or may have noticed, I have been spending a lot of time (maybe too much?) digging up the past here at TG. This week I found a bunch of lessons ready for new Artist Packs, leading to sets by <a href=\"https:\/\/totallyguitars.com\/packages\/217-the-band-5-pack\">The Band<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/totallyguitars.com\/packages\/218-the-carpenters-5-pack\">The Carpenters<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/totallyguitars.com\/packages\/219-the-offspring-5-pack\">The Offspring<\/a>, and even got things set up to start shooting <a href=\"https:\/\/totallylessons.com\/lessons?categories=2\">Fly On The Wall<\/a> lessons again. I have to thank our IGC camper Rob for being willing to share his visit to TG Central with everybody, let alone his composition-in-progress Windy Hill. Most of this went into how melody notes are related to the chords, and they can sometimes clash, what are called non-harmonic notes.<\/p>\n<p>We did release a new lesson this week on a 1950\u2019s doo-wop song thanks to Nesh. Take a look at <a href=\"https:\/\/totallyguitars.com\/lessons\/2819-in-the-still-of-the-nite\">In The Still Of The Night<\/a> by The Five Satins when you have a few minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Next week: New lessons, new packs and a new tip!<\/p>\n<p>See you then,<\/p>\n<p>Neil<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>July 15, 2022 Blues popped into my head as I started the camera today, specifically 12-bars in E, and generally a framework for James Taylor\u2019s Steamroller Blues.
