Cool, man! Thanks for the update, Chris! I have this 40-minute exercise I made that I do before I play the blues, focusing on my right-hand execution, and I have been using the scale boxes I learned from your videos to create some syncopated rhythms. My end goal is to become a metal musician of my own, and those basic major/minor boxes are helping me a ton!


One of the exercises I made for myself, I'll chug quarter beats for a bar and then gallop the second bar with a quarter note on the second and fourth part of the measure using the C Major scale all the way down the A string starting on A, fret 3 (C) to fret 14 (B) and back down. I learned that scale from one of your videos. 


I noted the blues course is dabbling in music theory a bit, and that is why I asked. Maybe I'll pick a day to study a music theory lesson once a week as I progress in my journey. Thanks for the reply! I'm looking forward to your videos for a higher skillset guitarist in the future!


 


Thanks for reading, and be safe.
