Hi David,

Bunch of questions concerning LOA6 submission:

1) Can we slow the jam track down a bit?

2) Do you want us to record Ex. 1.2 & Ex. 1.6 to the entire 4 minute jam track?

3) Can we use ideas from the other exercies (e.g., shakes, fills) or do you prefer that we stick to rhythmic improvising on the chords as given in the written music for Ex. 1.2 & 1.6?

4) Are flutters and wah-wah on the chords appropriate for these two exercises?

 

Thank you,

HarpKat

Hello HarpKat. Answers

Hello HarpKat. Answers below...

1) Sure, limit yourself to 15% slower

2) No, just one chorus of each

3) No improvising, play it exactly the way I've written (these are two very common patterns, I want to make sure you've memorized them... you'll use them a lot)

4) See above

No problem!
