This led me to talking about chord progressions that use secondary dominant chords, which related to the progression I started with. It was a string of sub-dominant chords. Each chord was followed by its sub-dominant (IVmaj7) chord. It got a bit involved but hopefully some of it will click.<\/p>\n<p>New stuff this week included Roy Orbison\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/totallyguitars.com\/lessons\/3006-only-the-lonely-know-the-way-i-feel\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Only The Lonely<\/a> and my visit in Hawaii a couple weeks ago with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLf5oIlPGbNcHEV9DAoMV6ebsflwW_L6ti\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">John Keawe<\/a>. It was certainly a pleasure to sit, play and talk with him.<\/p>\n<p>Neil Young was on my mind this week and that led to some ramblings on his early tune <a href=\"https:\/\/totallyguitars.com\/lessons\/1561-i-am-a-child-guitar-lesson\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">I Am A Child<\/a>. I also ran across an old book of John Renbourn pieces (aptly titled \u2018Guitar Pieces\u2019), which inspired me to share a couple of those with you. Both \u2018A Day At The Seaside\u2019 and \u2018Debbie Anne\u2019 have some challenging moves. There is a big stretch on a G7 chord in the first one and the second has some very fast hammer-ons and pull-offs. I go over a couple technical tips that you might find helpful.<\/p>\n<p>Other than that \u2013 on to July!<\/p>\n<p>Neil<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>June 27, 2025, Today\u2019s Update started with some improvising in the key of D.
