You are invited! I'm doing a live stream on Feb 27 at 3 pm Mountain Time.
If you are not on Mountain Time, use this timezone converter to find out what time that is for you.
Got questions? Write them here below, and I'll do my best to answer them.
The topic is about how to improvise over a tune with more chords, more specifically, The Allman Brother's version of "Stormy Monday".
This tune is the focus for the next MGA Jammers project! The last one is finished (Albert Collins style jam), and you'll soon see it on the forum. Esteemed member Craig is making the final touches on the performance video. It turned out great!
I had originally mentioned Feb 20th as the date for this, but something came up and I had to move it.
There's opportunity to ask questions, but you have to be logged in to YouTube for that to work. If you don't have a YouTube account, you can set one up ahead of time.
How to join the live stream?
Log in to MGA 5 minutes ahead of time and follow the link on the right hand side on the member page.

I've never had Stormy Monday on my radar, sorry, but I've listened to it several times over the last few days. The jazzy chord progression is so wonderful and I'm blown away by the two Allman solos. They are so tasty and the bends are so cool. I'm delighted and I've expanded my musical horizons. Thank you!
Since I'm already asleep while you have the live stream, Robert, I would be particularly interested in how you explain the chord changes from bar 7 onwards in terms of music theory.
And I'm also curious to know which scales you'll use to spice up an improvised solo besides the G minor and major pentatonic scale.

I just watched the replay, Robert.
Thanks for all the explanations on chord progression and ways to solo and what scales to work with. This has made a lot of things clearer to me 👍.
I will now take this to heart as much as possible and try to follow your tips:
Try to imitate the vocals.
Leave space in between, let the band play.
Experiment with bends, as long as you come back on a good note.
Thank you again, Robert, for your commitment
