Hi everyone, As promised, here is the recording of yesterday’s JGL Improvisation Workshop. Context: I’ve been noticing that some students run into a specific difficulty when working with Lesson 4. They understand the idea behind the etudes -- targeting the 3rd of the chords and approaching it with diatonic notes -- but when they try to apply the concept to other progressions or real songs, things become less clear. This is a very common hurdle at this point in the program. It usually shows up in questions like: “Okay, I know the 3rd of the chord is my target, and I know I can approach it using one, two, or three diatonic notes… but where do those notes actually come from?” For example: • From which scales do those approach notes come from? • Which notes should I use to build that pathway? • How are those notes laid out on the fretboard? • How do I organize them around the chord shapes I already know? In other words: The musical idea is clear, but the navigation on the instrument is not. So to help bridge that gap, I designed this workshop and a visual guide that shows where these approach notes live on the fretboard and how they relate to the chord shapes you’re already using. Even if you’re not yet comfortable with things like chord-scale relationships, modes, or scales in all positions and all 12 keys (which, honestly, can feel overwhelming just thinking about it 😅), working through these diagrams and drills can already help you apply the Bullseye Method in a practical way. And most importantly: apply it to real progressions and real songs. ⚠️ Important note This is not a shortcut. You will still learn scales, arpeggios, theory, vocabulary, licks, etc. -- all of that is part of the process. But if there is one thing that will make everything else easier later, it is this: 1. Learn to target the important notes (the 3rd is our primary target) 2. Learn how to approach those notes (diatonic approaches first, chromaticism later) 3. Learn how to anticipate your lines so they land on the target note when the harmony changes
