Hey all, I just uploaded some new backing tracks and thought I'd share what it can sound like. Cortez by Neil Young. Em - D - Am7 over and over. A great progression for practicing the minor scale. It never ends.

4 keys and minor scale diagrams in video form are here:

Wow Turtle, you sound just like Neil Young! I love his music. Bravo!

Thanks Unc and Derek.  That's high praise Bill, thanks! Thanks Jim and AGP.

Feel better and get back to playin' James O.  Thank you Clock!

Thanks RTZ - I'm having my own little RnR revival with these jams.  It only took me like 20 years to feel comfortable actually playing some solos ;) 

I usually hesitate to tell people what to do because I don't like to be told what to do, and nobody really likes to practice scales and stuff, but making a dedicated effort to practice my scales has been the best thing to happen to my playing in a long time.  SO PRACTICE THOSE SCALES PEOPLE!

I'm hoping these will help make it a little more fun to do that.  More and more, I feel like the future of the CBG depends on pushing the music forward, while keeping one foot planted in the roots and traditions of it all.  I'm on a mission to help encourage that idea.  

OK, I'm done.  Rock on everybody.
