Secret life? Are we talking debauchery or what?

Could this be the first video Christian has ever posted that does not receive a G rating?

I feel the 'secret life' part is not fully disclosed, are you worrying major chords will sue you?

Coupla thoughts:
Those vocings and inversions reminded me of some indie rock music. I'm afraid if I start messing with them I would get into that vibe and will try to write an indie tune, which would distract me from my jazz studies... I'm just kidding (kinda).

When demonstrating scales over chords, have you ever thought of using a looper? I just got one and it's really easy and fun thing to practice with. Not a necessity of course, but could be a nice touch.

Otherwise dig it.

Jingly jangly. I am a child of the early 90s.

I do have a looper (two in fact) that I’ve used in the past but I don’t actually use it much. Tbh I don’t plug my guitar in much which probably has something to do with it. For videos I just DI without monitoring.

It’s actually way easier for me to overdub guitar in post which I have done for videos… In this case I didn’t think necessary as the whole thing is entirely Ebmaj7.

Oh man if you like that you should check this out …

That part at the end really resonates with me.

"every time I play these kind of shapes instead of the whole chord... I get more ideas"
