Impressions-laid back latin groove-recorded Nov17,2010

The video starts off with a short tutorial explaining and demonstrating some of the triad shapes that I use for improvising. I am using triads from the Key of C/D dorian to improvise over the Dm7(9) vamp & triads from the Key of Db/Eb dorian to improvise over the Ebm7(9) vamp. I have included fretboard diagrams from the Key of C with the diatonic triads circled in color using "DrawFree for iPad" in the video.
There are also jpeg images of these triads available on this page under the heading "Key of C triads" - http://www.mickdennisguitar.com/lessonexamples.htm
To play in the Key of Db/Eb dorian just move each of the notes of the triad up one fret - a half step in musical terms. There is extensive "music theory" information included along with my playing on the video to give you further insight into the improvising material being used. Also included at the end of the video is my laid back latin groove "Jam Track" played fingerstyle on a Jimmy Foster 7 string guitar.

@cucuta95 I have been playing the guitar for about 40 years. Learning to play the guitar well is a lifelong endeavor. Keep playing month after month & year after year and gradually you will get better.
