Free Dorian Mode Lesson and Triad Licks
Hey Reader
Hope all is good!
Here are a couple of new things for you to check out.
First, a lesson on the Dorian mode. In this we compare it to the natural minor scale, and check out a couple of licks and possible chord progressions. There's also a backing track to try the licks with.
You can find that here:
Triads are hugely important when playing, and you may have noticed how much I like them as an approach rather than just using scales. The Triad Lesson is still up on Teachable at half price, only for subscribers:
And here are a few example licks with a detailed walkthorugh of one of them, all using Triads:
I hope you enjoy the content and have a great time experimenting with these licks and the Dorian mode.
Thanks as ever for being a part of the community!

Hey Reader I hope you've had a great week! If you saw the last email, you'll have seen it was all about finger independence and using the chromatic scale to help develop this.

This is often the weakest finger and can be neglected, so this should be valuable to anyone who's looking to improve. Check it out here: Click image Have fun, and remember to add any...
Hey Reader Here's the first in a small series of Finger Independence Exercises for guitar. As we know, finger independence is hugely important for anything you want to do, but the focus here is dexterity and building speed. So, over the next few weeks, we'll be looking at a few exercises that will really help build independence and speed, starting with these Chromatic exercises. Why Chromatic? Well, they use all our fingers for a start, so if you rarely use your pinky, like lots of my...
Is this the best delay pedal ever?? I've been lucky enough to get my hands on the Meris LVX recently and have made a couple of different videos going through some of its sounds, and also using the amazing modular interface to create a tape delay preset. You can find the review here, and the videos are embedded for easy viewing. The sounds on this pedal are pretty mind blowing! I hope you enjoy the review and video. Thanks for being part of the family! Sam Goffen
