I , IV V thinking in Positions
Hi Dave
In your interview with Steve Guyger you discuss that somewhere in the lessons you discuss the idea of thinking in positions when playing the I, IV V. Ie thinking 3 rd position when playoff the IV chord. This interests me but I don't quite understand it and how to use this idea.mmcan you point me to the discussion?
thanks Dave your explanation of thinking in positions was very clear. It would be helpful to me now if I could listen to some classic recordings where the best players indicate some of this ie where they might be using 3rd position licks on the V chord or 1st position licks on the IV chord. I remember that Stever Guyger made a passing statement that he was pretty sure LW sometimes thought in positions. thanks
Cool. As for artist examples... it's all around you... it's what you hear as a good choice of notes over the chords. Take a look at "My Blues," your Bending Study 4... being a slow blues you'll see it more easily there (we're on the chord change for a longer period of time).

Sure, this is a VERY important point for advanced players... the most important discovery for many players. This is covered in great detail in the "Understanding Position Playing" lesson.
