Sorry for the delay in getting this up.
Not much to report really.
Still running through exactly what I did last week going though all of the arpeggios diatonic to C in the 6/2 hand position. The cool part is I am feeling those runs being committed to habit and am having to think less and less about it as I do it.
Also, of the things Sal taught me, one of them was that the melody dictates the chords and not the other way around.
Taking that info, I went to a song me and buddy messed around with a while back. For the most part, it was fine. There were some parts though, it would go pear shaped for a bit then go back to being fine again.
The problem was my chord choice in a couple of places. Based on the melody over the chord, I remapped the chords and WOW... what a difference it made in terms of sound. It had that "We are on the same page" sound. haha. Taking my ears some time to adjust to it as they have grown accustomed to hearing the chords being a certain way and when it doesn't happen, it sounds wrong... until the vocal melody comes in.
