Hi David, hope all is well.

I'm starting the music theory module of LOA4 while I finish learning Buffet Line. In reviewing the materials, it seems the videos are the same as the music theory modules in LOAs 1-3. In comparing LOA1 with LOA4, for example, all the music theory topics appear to be the same. Am I correct in this? Is this for purposes of repetition or am I missing something? Are there any key differences I should focus on in the music theory modules of the LOAs 1-4?

Thanks in advance,

Ace

Hello Ace. If you look at

Hello Ace. If you look at http://www.bluesharmonica.com/sites/bluesharmonica.com/files/private/loa... you’ll see that you’ll be doing Section 4 now. In the test, there is some repetition, to make sure you’re getting reps on your memorization, but there is new material in the test.

Section 1 Questions

At the 3:30 mark you comment that we probably won't get 30% of this material. LOL. That is so right. This is now my fourth viewing of this video and I'm now starting to internalize these lessons.
