You ever leave a rubber band out in direct sunlight and see it a month later? Well, add 11 months and that’s how I feel right now. I didn’t know my new lease had a Stairmaster clause. Anyhow, I like my new apartment and I’m settled in and that’s the most important thing.
Apparently there’s a jazz sax player somewhere near me and I listened as s/he warmed up with various arpeggi. That inspired me to try it on guitar and finally look for some reasonable fingerings for playing all those major thirds and those perfect fourth leaps. After messing with some diatonic ones I went to try out some 9th chords and I got to say, this is a great way for me to learn more of the fret board and keep myself motivated to practice technique!
