* not that there's anything wrong with that, per se.
My biggest beef with a lot of online teachers is there start to explain something then start playing and just stop explaining.
I watched a few Robbin Ford instruction videos and he is the worst.
Also to learn how to learn and to be able to write quickly and uniquely.
2. Playing over changes
- Level 1, knowing the notes in each chord. Measured in days or weeks
- Level 3, hearing and reproducing a melody which flows over chord changes. Months or Years
3. Write quickly - practice
4. Write uniquely - an enquiring mind. How would this sound ....
What worked for me was listening and transcribing. In the early days I worked out which note or chord was being played by listening, and in which position by trying them out on the fretboard. Nowadays I can also use videos of live performances to look at hand positions. For writing it down I started with pencil and paper. Nowadays I use software, which has the added benefit that I can play back what I’ve written to check the notes and timing.
I’ve bought the ‘Soloing The Changes’ course (above). Jeff McErlain is supposed to be a really good teacher & for each lesson, there is an; Overview, Performance & Breakdown, so you learn the theory behind what he is playing.
