This one was brewing over the holidays, and it's finally ready for you to taste! 

Let me know if you see any mistakes and also let me know how you like it.

Kismet, I just had windows installed on my screened in porch.  Now I can enjoy it a little more often in the Wintery North while Craig's is applying spf 30 and listening to the kookaburra laugh down under.

Robert, this is an awesome lesson, and certainly gives a lot to play and think about.  Great skill development, too.  But I do love the concept of how to hold it down with rhythm, licks and the goal of playing music.

Thanks guys!

Jim, we're currently low on moonshine and harps, but you should be able to find some in your neck of the woods!

Speaking of moonshine,  this movie is awesome and has an equally awesome soundtrack.

Here is one of the main theme songs,  fire and brimstone.

Hey RR.  Moving to the V chord:  This has a cool sound using the F#7 to get to the B7 V chord.  Harmonically that ii chord should be a minor but the F#7 leads so well to the V chord. I think I've heard this in jazzier terms as the 5 of the 5 chord- is this an example of that concept?

And I'm going to guess this sounds good within the Bar where the motion is happening because it is harmonic to the B7 as the anchor tone of that section.

Yeah 5 of the 5. Think of how F# is 5 of B, and B is 5 of E. You can keep going like that, and you get the Circle of 5ths. E is the 5 of A, and A is the 5 of D, and so it goes...
