This is an important observation. Sometimes I've seen students get too worried about learning more scales & patterns when they can't even play the basics ones as music yet. Conceptual knowledge & physical technique are 2 separate things that don't always grow at the same pace. It's important to keep them as close together as possible for optimal learning & playing.

[quote=ddiddler]Moving up one string and down 5 frets was something I was looking for after knowing about the Magic L but had never heard it until I did your series.

Right, it's sort of implied in everything you learn on guitar. But it's an important thing to explicitly say, know & be able to use.

So thanks Christopher I enjoyed the Major Series 1 lessons.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed them!
