Hi William, I did notice that Rick has a few lessons on 2-5-1, they’re under the ‘lessons index’ then ‘improvisation’ section. The two lessons that I found by taking a quick look (so there may be more) are ‘Building Bebop lines” and “Linear Development Studies”, hope this helps and welcome to the forum!

Hi Richard, when I downloaded it last time, it was alright for me (in the copy that I have, pg 6 is harmonic minor and pg 8 is harmonic major). Im sure Rick will look into it, perhaps another version was uploaded since I downloaded it last? Check out Rick’s Auld Lang Syne on his blog if you haven’t already, its a beautiful chord solo arrangement, its simple which is great for folks like me who are just learning
Happy Playing!

Hi Rick, thanks very much for your help, I just sent you an email with a couple of attachments (with pictures of the printouts from soundslice), perhaps its a technical problem on my side but it was still missing a couple bars on each sheet, (which you can check out on the email). Soundslice is a great feature, I love that you can change keys/slow down the playback, very helpful when learning
keep the the great lessons, thanks again!

Hi Rick, yes I was able to print it, although I believe it chops off a couple of bars from each page? (on the right hand side of the page, I wasnt sure if that was the same margin issue that you were referring to). I was also able to adjust the font size on the soundslice app but it didnt affect the font size on the printed page (my eyes are not the best which is why I asked about the pdf and printing in a bit larger font size:-) its a nice solo so it will give me some good material to learn over the holidays. Thanks again for your help, its much appreciated!

Thanks Rick for the ‘about the site’ videos, I found a couple things I didn’t know about the site which was cool and it was good to get to know you and your teaching philosophy etc a bit more
lots of good ideas on your new chord videos as well, thanks for putting them up!

Hi Rick, its page #3 of the below pdf (its just the ‘dots’ on the diagram that I thought were missing, not tab/notation):
https://www.jazzguitarlessons.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/CAGED-System-Diagrams.pdf
It is under the “‘CAGED’ system-part 1 (five basic chord forms)” lesson:
https://www.jazzguitarlessons.com/caged-system/
Its the ‘CAGED system diagram’ pdf
Thanks again, I always look forward to your lessons and forum responses…

Love all your lessons!

Thanks very much Rick for your great explanation and for the links, yes I did noticed you were using the diminished to 7 model for your chords, I just forgot when I was typing out the previous reply, thanks for all your help, I emailed Mike Longo to ask a question and he said for me to pass his thanks on to you for recommending the drumming DVD/book. I’m working on learning the arpeggio’s as well as ATTYA tune, thanks for the lessons!

Hi Rick, thanks very much for your clarification (perhaps a video would be great because Im still confused
I thought if something was in 2/2 there are only two beats to the bar (and you would count the two beats), so how would you count the main beats as One and three? Im sure Im missing something
Have you had a chance to check out Barry Harris on this youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjnX_PkDwWs He talks both of tapping on one and three as well (not two and four) and he also talks of thinking in 6/8 (exactly like Mike Longo teaches, he even gives the same example). Anyway, the above link is an informal discussion and very interesting, lots of good concepts…I think when hes talking to the guitar student he talks of moving one note in a half diminished chord to make it a 7th chord (Barry said guitar players dont know this but Pat Martino has a dvd out where he talks about it at length, I would have been curious to ask Barry what the thought of Martino use of diminished chord/scale…or perhaps they are using it in different ways?) Ill defiantly check out your CDs as well, thanks for posting the link!

Thanks for your reply, if I may ask, how was your playing before and after your studies with Hal? What are some concepts that changed the way you think about time etc. I noticed on the video that he had the piano player tap on 1 and 3 (and then later on not to tap much at all but to play with no emotion to smooth out his lines), are you able to clarify what he meant by playing everything in 2/4 time (or perhaps counting/feeling things in 2/4 time)? Maybe a video would be a better way of explaining it rather than typing in though
some things are caught rather than taught (which you mentioned above), which may make dissecting these things harder though…

Thanks very much for your suggestions, Ill pick them up and give them a read!
