   Hi, how ya doin'? Justin here.
   Welcome to IM-159.
4. 15634 0:16 - 0:20
   Which is the Practice Routine for Foundation 5.
5. 19864 0:20 - 0:24
   What we've got here is 5 minutes of your Triad practice.
6. 23678 0:24 - 0:27
   Which is making sure you memorize where the triads are,
7. 26807 0:27 - 0:31
   where the root notes are,
   and working out the string groupings 2,3,4
8. 30848 0:31 - 0:35
   and the minors on 2,3,4 and then practicing them.
9. 34849 0:35 - 0:38
   Then you've got 5 minutes on your triad chord changes
10. 38092 0:38 - 0:40
    so bouncing around, up and down the neck,
11. 40308 0:40 - 0:43
    trying to get those triad shapes as fast as you can,
12. 42991 0:43 - 0:46
    making sure that you remember
    what string the root note's on
13. 45920 0:46 - 0:51
    and remembering to look at the root note
    before you try and change to the chord.
14. 51172 0:51 - 0:55
    That's the trick for being able to do these kind of
    jumping all over the neck kind of changes.
15. 55220 0:55 - 1:00
    We've then got 5 minutes of our usual Major Scale
    with the metronome.
16. 59502 1:00 - 1:02
    Hopefully you're getting the speed up
    a little bit more now.
17. 62421 1:02 - 1:05
    You should be feeling really confident
    with your alternate picking,
18. 65374 1:05 - 1:08
    and really, you know,
    just working on the speed, that's it.
19. 68190 1:08 - 1:13
    Remember the speed, the point of the speed rather,
    is to synchronize the two hands,
20. 72834 1:13 - 1:15
    that's the real reason that we're doing that stuff,
21. 75380 1:15 - 1:18
    it's not really about you playing the scale fast.
22. 77649 1:18 - 1:20
    It's about getting a good co-ordination
    between the two hands.
23. 80163 1:20 - 1:24
    We've then got 5 minutes of Major Scale improvising,
24. 83947 1:24 - 1:29
    so I'm really hoping that you're letting your ear control
    the way that you play now,
25. 88755 1:29 - 1:32
    so not just relying on muscle memory,
    
26. 91640 1:32 - 1:34
    you're hopefully incorporating your one finger solos,
27. 94366 1:34 - 1:38
    and a bit of that melodic patterns,
    but still letting your ear be the boss.
28. 98369 1:38 - 1:44
    Next up we got 10 minutes of the J.U.S.T.I.N. Training,
29. 103687 1:44 - 1:47
    and/or transcribing songs on your own.
30. 106689 1:47 - 1:51
    I'm really hoping at this stage,
    that you're doing plenty of your own transcribing,
31. 110705 1:51 - 1:54
    because that is the key
    to becoming a good guitar player.
32. 113633 1:54 - 1:56
    I can't emphasise it to you strongly enough.
33. 116240 1:56 - 2:01
    Learning songs on your own
    is the thing that will make you good.
34. 120569 2:01 - 2:02
    And a failure to do that,
35. 122133 2:02 - 2:05
    to ignore my advice and not do any transcribing,
36. 125152 2:05 - 2:10
    means that you probably won't ever become
    a really confident guitar player.
37. 129617 2:10 - 2:12
    You might be able to kinda play the notes,
38. 131759 2:12 - 2:14
    you'll be able to play some songs,
39. 133848 2:14 - 2:17
    but there'll be always that thing missing.
40. 136553 2:17 - 2:19
    Lotsa times I meet guitar players
41. 138558 2:19 - 2:20
    and they come for a lesson, they go
42. 139973 2:20 - 2:23
    well I can do this, and I can do this,
    but there's something missing.
43. 142634 2:23 - 2:24
    And nine times out of ten,

    ¶

44. 144065 2:24 - 2:28
    the something missing is that
    they haven't been doing any transcribing.
45. 148169 2:28 - 2:30
    The second half hour we've got,
46. 150273 2:30 - 2:34
    we've got 5 minutes of picked fingerstyle practice.
47. 153599 2:34 - 2:37
    So, either making up
    your own pattern and practicing that.
48. 156679 2:37 - 2:39
    Or, working on that set pattern that I showed you
    
49. 159467 2:39 - 2:42
    and/or trying to incorporate it into some tunes,
50. 162286 2:42 - 2:45
    working on kind of making it a strumming pattern,
    
51. 165274 2:45 - 2:48
    but being able to pick out notes individually.
52. 167688 2:48 - 2:50
    We've got 5 minutes of legato practice.
53. 169980 2:50 - 2:55
    If you're new to legato,
    that'll be doing hammer-ons and flickoffs individually.
54. 174803 2:55 - 2:57
    If you're cool with that, then,
55. 176730 2:57 - 3:00
    its incorporating it into the Minor Pentatonic
    and the Major Scale,
56. 180406 3:00 - 3:04
    using legato technique,
    that is the hammer-ons and the flickoffs,
57. 183605 3:04 - 3:05
    to play the scales up and down,
58. 185362 3:05 - 3:07
    if you're confident with that,
59. 186950 3:07 - 3:10
    you might want to start using some melodic patterns
60. 189564 3:10 - 3:13
    and making sure you incorporate
    the legato techniques into that.
61. 192762 3:13 - 3:15
    Remember after the Foundation Stage
62. 195235 3:15 - 3:18
    you probably want to start doing
    the exercise called the Finger Gym
63. 198336 3:18 - 3:20
    which is a real hardcore workout
    
64. 200161 3:20 - 3:22
    using hammer-ons and flickoffs.
65. 201884 3:22 - 3:24
    We've then got your Rhythm Guitar,
66. 204468 3:24 - 3:26
    so you're working on your chips,
67. 206273 3:26 - 3:29
    spreads, splangs
    and your muted strumming.
68. 209479 3:29 - 3:31
    Really, really good fun.
69. 210717 3:31 - 3:33
    A very important part of your
    Rhythm Guitar development
    
70. 213404 3:33 - 3:36
    is incorporating that stuff into tunes.
71. 215912 3:36 - 3:38
    So when it comes to practicing songs later,
72. 217990 3:38 - 3:42
    don't forget to start using those things
    in the real world.
73. 221596 3:42 - 3:45
    We've also got now 5 minutes
    on the Major Pentatonic.
74. 225417 3:45 - 3:48
    Now, we're gonna be covering that more
    in future lessons.
75. 228196 3:48 - 3:51
    But for now,
    just have a bit of a muck around,
    
76. 231101 3:51 - 3:53
    see if you can make sense of it,
77. 232895 3:53 - 3:55
    get used to what it sounds like,
78. 234565 3:55 - 3:58
    and do a little bit of improvising
    using that scale,
79. 237788 3:58 - 4:00
    because that's probably the best way
    to get it into your system.
80. 240451 4:00 - 4:03
    The last thing we've got is
    10 minutes of repertoire.
81. 243476 4:03 - 4:05
    So learning some new songs
82. 245410 4:05 - 4:08
    that are incorporating the techniques
    that we've been doing.
83. 247994 4:08 - 4:10
    Maybe some stuff that uses the pick fingerstyle,
84. 250116 4:10 - 4:14
    or that uses chips or splangs or spreads
    or whatever you like.
85. 254189 4:14 - 4:18
    But really making sure
    that you learn new songs for every stage.
86. 257945 4:18 - 4:22
    And that's it.
    That's your practice routine for Foundation Five.
87. 262163 4:22 - 4:25
    There's only one lesson left which is Consolidation,
88. 265244 4:25 - 4:29
    but make sure you spend a bit of time
    getting all of these new things under your fingers
89. 269346 4:29 - 4:32
    before you work on your Consolidation.
90. 271560 4:32 - 4:34
    Take care. See you for another lesson very soon.
91. 274060 4:34 - 4:38
    Bye Bye.
