[@JohnnyHurbonConnections]

Just discovered your mind opening channel and appreciation of learning

[@music_magus]

That's great feedback to get, thank you!

[@damianbyers2316]

Beautiful lesson - a real journey. Also love Mick's book and 'approach'.

[@music_magus]

Thanks a lot. Definitely one of the only books I'd say was essential for any serious student of guitar.

[@paulsakernorrish]

Really enjoying these videos man. Getting a lot out of the instruction, and also loving your laid back approach and dry humour. Keep up the awesome work, much appreciated! Cheers

I'm really happy to hear that! The Goodrick book is well worth the effort, especially these chapters on single string playing. All the best to you, too.

[@swayamtailor]

One of the most unique and memorable lessons I've ever had. The trance like drone really put me into your headspace, where i was hearing the notes you probably were hitting before you hit them, if that makes sense. Lovely ideas, will most certainly steal some of them!

[@music_magus]

Thanks a lot, that's great to hear. And steal away..! I stole them all of other people myself, after all. ;-)

Great video, thanks. After spending sometime on one string, I think I could spend a lifetime just practicing with it.

[@music_magus]

Cool! There's definitely an infinite number of possibilities on on string.

I just started to read Mick's fantastic work. I was having a bit of struggling with absorbing the whole concept of playing on one string on some vamp tapes practically. This video just cleared the kinda vague passage for me. Now I can go and start my journey with his book. Just wanted to let you know that your content is really helpful for anyone who is looking for it. Many thanks man. Keep up the good work. 🙌🏻

[@music_magus]

Apologies for the late response; I've been neglecting this channel lately. Thanks a lot for your comment. I really appreciate the feedback, and I'm definitely planning to release more content in the near future. Good luck with the Goodrick book. It really is a goldmine..!

Love this approach. Forgive me but a little confused in the way that Eb Lydian is a mode of Bb major. Does your practice revolve around the root of the mode being the key itself or do you also, throughout the week or month, explore the individual modes that belong to a single key? Sorry if I missed something and over complicated that😅

[@music_magus]

Thanks for your great question. With my approach, I see everything as being connected by one common root note. So, I'd put everything with an Eb root (for example), chord, scale, mode, pentatonic in one category. In a certain sense, I just think of the 12 possible root notes, and all the possibilities that can come off of each of them - rather than the more traditional 15 Major and 15 Minor key centres. I think the relationships between the modes with one parent scale (as in your Bb Ionian/Eb Lydian example) is important, and should be observed - but I don't think this is the best approach to learning the different modal flavours, which is best done comparing things from a common root. I have at times gone through and done all the modes in one key for (one per day) for a while. Basically I'd say that all approaches are good, and the more ways you can practice the same material the better. AjC
