Today I started practicing all this new scales stuff. Mixolydian shape, scales in 3rds and in 4 note pattern… It was fun and I still have some time to play something less technical ?
Scales
A mixolydian
8th notes @ 150 bpm
D major (A string)
8th notes @ 150 bpm
A major in 3rds
8th notes @ 70 bpm
A major in 4 note pattern
8th notes @ 70 bpm
A major pentatonic
8th notes @ 150 bpm
A major pentatonic in 3rds
8th notes @ 70 bpm
A major pentatonic in 4 note pattern
8th notes @ 70 bpm
A minor pentatonic
8th notes @ 150 bpm
A minor pentatonic in 3rds
8th notes @ 70 bpm
A minor pentatonic in 4 note pattern
8th notes @ 70 bpm
Ear training
3-11 intervals. Finally looked up a Minor 3rd reference and the result is much better now.
Songs
MGMT – Kids [Solo] – My version
