Lessons reccomence in person

Now that the COVID situation is easing in Queensland, lessons have recommenced in person at both The Gap and Samford Studios. I am very happy to be seeing everyone in person again. We will be meeting COVID management obligations in both studios, which means that

  • We will be sitting 1.5m apart
  • 4 square metres of space per person (This will mean that the Samford Studio will accomodate only one student at a time)
  • Hand sanitiser will be available for use before and after lessons
  • I will be regularly disinfecting surfaces
  • I will not be handling students books or instruments unless absolutely necessary.
  • I will no longer be providing picks for student use. You will need to bring your own plectrum.

This will mean some slight changes to the way we do the lesson, including switching to electronic notes where practical.

Thanks for your understanding and patience.

Regards,

Rob Reeves

Practice Track – E minor Pentatonic

You can never have enough of the E minor pentatonic scale. So here is another practice track, built around an E boogie power chord. There is just one chord! The organ comes in over the top with an E7 #9, while the bass line features sliding or bending between minor and major third. So hit those bends in your solo, especially the minor third!
