Any advice? To continue learning, I mean. |
Take a tune(such as a simple blues) and a metronome. Play though the tune several times, each time playing different notes of the chord(1st time play all the roots, 2nd time play all the 3rds, etc..), after you can do that play simply patterns or scales over the chords. (ie 123454321)
also practice writing out ,on some staff paper, some improve over the changes .
