September 21st 2016 was the day this project of mine really began with my first ‘Chord of the Day’. I can’t remember exactly where the idea came from but I saw back then the potential in this platform for teaching guitar. It’s been a stupid amount of work but I’m really proud of this growing community of like-minded guitarists. Thank you for being here. This post had 139 likes first time round. Let’s see how well we can do today… 🙏🏻

There were a lot of suggestions to feature ‘Remarkably Human’ (which is an excellent album) but @nickjohnstonmusic has a new album that should be heard if you liked his previous work. ‘Wide Eyes In The Dark’ sees him delving further into the cinematic sound of Human. I love his playing, but (on a theoretical level) I LOVE his progressions. So satisfying. He’s also a beast of a player so, after the rich melodies have been savoured, he lets rip in the solos! Let’s have your thoughts and suggestions 👇🏻👍🏻🙏🏻

I’m very excited that @nickjohnstonmusic has a new album, ‘Wide Eyes in the Dark’. I duly bought myself a copy and started transcribing! There’s so much to enjoy in his music. Almost straight away in the opening track ‘A Cure Promised’ we have a very interesting chord idea with a sus2 shape in string set 2. The shape stays the same but is moved onto different root notes for some very cool chords, especially when arpeggiated (as Johnston does). Get a head start on #listeningclub this week and give it a listen! F.Y.I. Johnston normally tunes down a half step (Eb Ab Db Gb Gb Eb) so you’ll need to do the same to match the original recording. Until next time 🙏🏻
