he's giving us a 'point-of-departure' - a way to build lines that are harmonically pleasing and logical. I think it's fantastic that this kind of info is free and on the internet. Really rich stuff. bless 'im!

Crucial point in this lesson: 90 days of repetition to make it reflexive. That seems about right based on my experience, too. It's a hard lesson to learn, though. Sticking with a single idea that long is a different kind of practice, but necessary if the goal is to gain a new phrase for improvisation. Great lesson, as always!

[@francescomanfredi]

Best pathway ever! For both the notes and for us beginner improvisers!

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

Thank you Frances

[@montes0077]

Probably my favorite takeaway during our private lessons...now for the masses to enjoy and learn from! Great great stuff

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

Glad to hear that! Thanks buddy

[@brentwheeler2087]

Especially strong here Chris. I spent several hours working out how this all fits together - especially round the circle. Like most things straightforward enough in "C"... however a bit more challenging to get the same level of workable and usable understanding in the other keys. A power of information in harmony, voice leading and relationships on the fretboard - particularly between the basic two shapes. Simple for many I'm sure but Im learning a lot working slowly through it. Many thanks.

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

Thanks Brent!

Excellent etude. Thoughtful teaching. Thank you.

[@gapted]

Thanks for the clear, simple presentation of a clear, simple concept. I'm looking forward to the follow up!

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

Thanks for watching!

[@robertgreen3702]

Great lesson. Thanks🎸

[@ccat9354]

Bert Ligon and Jerry Coker have great books covering this idea of pathways. I think ingraining these on every possible string combination is equally important for us guitarists to gain mastery as through 12 keys

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

Thanks for the info, I will check their books!

Man that guitar sounds amazing!!

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

Thanks Curt. It's a special guitar for sure

[@artivrolijkekunst990]

Great lesson. Thanks. Another possibility can be first the same 4 notes of the Dm7 arpeggio, than go scale wise down with the notes B, A, G, F and than you land on E, but this time an octave lower.

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

Yes! Endless possibilities!!! Thanks
