Whew! This one is fun! I think I'm going to try to learn the lead for the whole song! 🤯 It'll take a bit, but when I get it done, I'll share with Y'all! As always, Please let me know what you think. Any ideas to speed / clean it up are welcome. Thanks!

"B on the A string to G on the D string D.............A. ..............E. ..........D C. ...........A. ..............G........... D Db.......... A............... E. ..........D Db. ..........A. .............G. ..........D C .............A. .............E............ D D .............A. .............G. ...........D B ..............A............. E. ............D The foundation or the core. 4 notes as a phrase, 4 phrases." @Larry Cannon All of the Notes to the left of the A's are the notes on the A string, and all of the notes to the left of all the D's are on the D string. I think I've got it, let me know Larry! Try this one out everyone! It's goofy in a a good way! My attempt and then the original:

Ok, I tried to go easy on you this week, and I suppose you could just take the easy way out on this one. It is still a really good chord progression, but if you try just a little bit harder, its a great chord progression. I'm talking about using a little bit of something called the CAGED system and what it can do to really spice up a chord progression. If you haven't heard of the CAGED system, or could never really wrap your head around it, we've got a full course in the classroom section for you to check out! Your Chord Progression of the Week is, in the key of Bm: Bm-G-D x 4 then A-G-D x 2 I know what you're saying, "wow Ben, no modes, no modal interchange!?" I know, I know...see, I CAN be merciful, haha! See you next week Mike! -Ben P.S. If you want to learn more about the CAGED system, consider joining our premium tier, where you can find an entire course dedicated to it. You'll also be able to find our other courses and be able to participate in our Riffs of the Week, as well as having access to all new courses and more, as they drop. Oh and its less than pack of picks per month, and you won't lose it in the couch, your pants you wore yesterday, or whatever alternate dimension picks run off to. https://www.skool.com/intermediate-guitar/about

Thank you for being here @Mike Abalos! I couldn't do this without you! Give him some love everyone!

Here's me running through Ben's NEW Ultimate Practice Scale Shape (Find it for free here) https://www.skool.com/intermediate-guitar/classroom/4f74be2f?md=3c6542bbb6584350ac9fe03e03f3599f and putting it to work a few different ways. It took some real effort and because it's not exactly musical, my ears didn't love what was coming out. But your fingers know when they're working hard, and mine are worked after this one. So - Thank you @Benjamin Wood for such a great warm-up/mental training. Go ahead and give it a shot on your own guitar, and if you record yourself practicing, drop it in the comments below.
