    Thanks for the morning lesson. I don't drink coffee ☕🤣. I'm surprised I didn't discover this sooner. But, timing is Everything!!! I'm just getting cozy with the 5 shapes of the A minor pentatonic scale and really learning my fret board. Just bring me home to the root! For me it's now a matter of brain connectivity. The mind and soul gets it. The hand needs to catch up. I look at my progress. A year ago, I wasn't HERE! 😎✌️

    Really enjoyed this one and want to come back to it in depth in the near future. What I love about 12-bar blues is that it isn't at all as restrictive as it seems; like haiku, the boundaries of the form leave a lot of room for creative improvisation and variety of expression.

    • @UkuleleZen
      @UkuleleZen  Před 3 lety +1

      Glad you enjoyed it & please come back anytime of course! I think you are right on with your description and analogy of it being like a haiku… Often the best so those are just a few notes placed really well...Happy playing Heidi 😉🎶

    single notes.
