Not a guitar video today, so it might not be of interest to some, but an update on Taylor Guitars, and their customer relations. Maybe of interest to those beginners who are still in the investigating phase of their first guitar purchase...

Practice day & EMT C#18
Practice has been moving forward, slowly but surely, time increasing with each day as my fingers get used to getting back to normal. I am hoping to get a video up for Lesson 12 this weekend, and then we can discuss Lesson #13 from there.
I got one answer at YouTube about my problem, and I am still awaiting Sarge from RHM to email me his thoughts. So when I get that, we can address them both here.
Edly's Chapter 18: "Transposition"
Transposition is simply changing the key of a melody, a chord progression, or even an entire song. You would do it maybe to put the song within a singer's vocal range, or maybe a certain instruments best playing range. The basic way of doing it is to use the chromatic scale, and move the notes the same number of half-steps up or down. An example would be if you had a man and a woman singing together, you could move the man's melody an octave lower in their duet.
Multiple examples and charts were given throughout the lesson for both vocals and instruments.

Diagnosis of a problem 2
There is an issue with fingers one and four that I should have addressed during the finger flexing exercise, but did not, so with lesson 13 coming up, I thought now would be a good time to get it in the works, before I finish lesson 12, so I have some sort of direction, or options available before beginning. You can watch the video for details...
Metal Monday
Every Monday participants pick a "Metal" song, and expound on it. Maybe post a vid for it, or some lyrics, or an opinion about it.
Then you simply fill in the box below with the "Direct Link" back to the page where your submission is posted, and there you have it!
Linking is for participants ONLY, all others will be deleted. You can feel free to grab the code, and post it yourself as well.
So here is ours:
Ravi & Bobby (RHM)
I decided to jump out of the box, and go with some "Metal" that we can all get something from! How's that for a "Plot Twist"!
