Hi Rob, thank you for this exercise, very useful for me as a beginner. One question about the third exercise: Would you do it only on the e string or on every string, like the ones before?

Cool lesson

Nice music lessons!

I like that you asked to add a different rythmn. I'd been doing that out of boredom. So, I'll pay attention as to doing the syncopation correctly.

Hi Rob

We certainly do live in remarkable times Stephen. Being able to share these lessons and communicate with people all over the world is an amazing gift!

Ahah! There is method to the madness! Thanks for the reply. It's kind of bizarre to think of me posting a question from a chilly Sydney winter's day and you short sleeved in Philadelphia sending back an instant response...!

Hey that’s a good question. The answer is that they are called by both names, depending on the musical situation. There’s a thing called “common musical alphabet” which is what I’m using here, but in actual performance, you would say “sharp” when ascending and “flat” when descending.

This may be a stupid question but~ why is Bflat not called A sharp, and the same with Eflat not being called D sharp? Or, for that matter, why is Csharp not called Dflat? Is it just something that has stuck or is there reason to it?

Hey friends, I'm going to make this lesson open to the public. If you have the time, I'd greatly appreciate it if you would share on social media. Thanks so much!
