JAM SESSION WITH A FRIEND

HI HIVERS

I am @emmaba1 and I am here with another post for your enjoyment. I am really enjoying being on this platform and forming meaningful connections. I am grateful for the gift of this platform and to my hive mentor, @jaydr, for introducing me to this platform.

ABOUT THE VIDEO

The video was shot at the residence of one of my guitar students during the pandemic..She also took upon herself the task of shooting this video with her phone. Lol. The second. guitarist in the video is a good friend of mine, Edet Collins. I came up with the progression the night before and was writing a song to it titled "calling to the earth". The progression played is the chords for the verse of the song. So, I told Collins about it and we agreed to meet up to work on it. The jam session was not exactly planned but we all ended up having so much fun that day. Music, they say, is food for the soul. The guitar I'm playing in the video belongs to Collins and the guitar he was playing was with me at the time. I do not say it is mine because I have never owned a guitar, mostly due to a shortage of finances. As an adaptive mechanism, I have had to get really good at getting other people to give me their guitars so I can practice with them😅😅😅.

A LITTLE MUSIC THEORY TALK
The progression being played is VIm-IV. The scale being used to improvise over the chords is the pentatonic scale with a few borrowed notes depending on which chord is currently being played. Improvisation is very great to practice your spontaneity in a kind of live show situation and assess how you can quickly adapt and in the mood that is being supplied by the other player(s).
