Says 42 minutes long !

Yes, it is.  Time enough for exploration, building stamina, and reinforcing rhythm and internal time.

Thank You, Robert!!! This Epic Am had me revisiting some of the most influential and essential lessons at MGA.  And, YES, I am referring to the TRIADS Course that makes for long studies and incredible rewards.  

I revisited COMPING WITH TRIADS and Wow, how far I have come to better understand and play those concepts.  Even though the lessons were easier on revisiting, I found new insights and inspiration in going deep and not skimming over the concepts and lesson sheets.

So after jamming along to the Epic Am Blues Track, I turned to playing over Brown Eyed Girl, The Weight,  With or Without You, and finally on to The Thrill is Gone.  And thanks to MGA lessons, I can 1. play along, 2. play over/jam and create my own parts, 3. practice techniques like applying double stops and embellishments, 4. explore harmonizing the song, and most importantly:  Create and Entertain on a Saturday morning with my guitar.  So Many Thanks, Robert.

It's 42:58 and that rounds up to 43 minutes in my world. 😉

And just let YouTube roll the hits, jamming along to Marshall Tucker and then working out some beautiful nuance notes on Can't Always Get What You Want! 

What I really liked about it was that it gave time to really get into the rhythm of the chords. And also figure out many of the chord tones.

Robert , that was an excellent idea of having a long backing track. A great idea indeed.
