Howdy,
For lesson 3 theory, I managed to tape my guitars C notes. I printed out the sheets you provided "get hundreds" I not only wrote down the "C" notes but all the notes from the High E String across to the Low E string. I then circled the "Natural notes", which just happen to follow the pattern W-W-H-W-W-W-H. Ok so much for the Chromatic Scale I got that down. I then looked at the paper after all notes were written and noticed the trends.
1: 12th fret: Same as open strings
2: 12th fret anywhere matchs 12th higher or lower
3: Finding the Natural notes string to string always follow over 2 string and up two unless dealing with the B & E string which would then be over 2 strings and up 3.
Should I map the notes using "flats" as well as "sharps" on that sheet you gave?
I was curious about the lesson 3 (Music) section also. The fret listed shows the 10th fret to the right, but when placing the fingers to the C5 chord, the "C" starts on the 8Th fret & then the "G" & "C" move over to the A String & D string on the 10th Fret? I was confused here.
I managed to get Balls To The Wall down, but i'm a bit slower then the MP3 File your provided. I have a hard time memorizing the notes as I go. Would you recommend I read the screen while I play at the same time, or would it be better to read the first few notes, break the piece into smaller pieces and memorize it, then put it together in the end?
I'm having fun, and figured I would put this forum to good use by keeping you posted. Is that cool with you, or what?
