Been a bit of a lag between the lesson and the posting of it. Sorry about that one. The holidays make it a bit difficult to keep up with all of this sort of "normal" stuff. Oh well, at least I didn't forget about it totally.
This lesson was officially the "We're gonna learn an entire song" lesson. "Wish You Were Here" was the default choice because it has a good chord progression, I can already play the rhythm part, and the solo sounds great but is not too difficult. We started by me playing the song as I know it. I forgot the stinking progression, again, but that was the last time!
Andy realized I knew that part fine, so we moved on to the solo. He showed that it was a continuation of the G scale in two different positions. Super easy really. With us working together for just 15 minutes on it, I could struggle through the entire thing.
Since the lesson, I have been working on it digillently. I can get through the entire solo at full speed. The only problems I am having are the chording parts in the solo, sliding them up and down the two frets. I seem to over shoot one way or the other every time. It just takes more practice to get the exact feel for that distance, I suppose.
We skipped Monday, 12/26 for obvious reasons. I assume that we are still on for 1/2/2006. Andy didn't mention not having it that day and I'm Jonesing a bit, to tell the truth!
