16:39:07 From Felicity Collins to Everyone:
    Your blog was cool!
16:39:47 From Joke Verdoold to Everyone:
    I can
16:39:52 From mona seering to Everyone:
    The videos on the two bonus Latin and Celtic teachers are not working. I printed the practice paperwork and would like to do those also as I love bossa!
16:41:41 From Sally to Everyone:
    Mona, do you mean this page? https://www.hipharp.com/academy/llcb-course-home/
16:42:12 From Sally to Everyone:
    Mona, the videos work find for me. Each lesson is toggled. Still need to find the Celtic lessons.
16:58:55 From Anne Horton to Everyone:
    If I play the 7th in A it is a G - do I need to sharp that G as well? If not can you explain why not?
17:00:54 From Heather F to Everyone:
    Cmaj7-Dm7-G7-Cmaj7 x2
17:03:11 From Melinda Ostrander-Aviles to Everyone:
    finding a rhythm kept me going
17:03:28 From Heather F to Everyone:
    Am7 -Bm7b5 -E b9 - x2…….
17:03:49 From Carol Henley to Everyone:
    I do better if I don’t over think this, and just play
17:04:05 From Stefanie Bieber to Everyone:
    Anne, the G is the minor 7 in Aminor, the G# would make the chord sound e bit weird
17:04:32 From Joke Verdoold to Everyone:
    For me it works best to keep to the shapes.
17:04:33 From Anne Horton to Everyone:
    Is it still called “modulating” if you have gone to the relative minor (considering you haven’t changed the levers - except for the “G# thing” … but Amin doesn’t have a G# in it?)
17:06:00 From Tara to Everyone:
    When I grabbed a "wrong" note, I could usually make it sound fine by just moving calmly to a neighboring note or two.
17:06:06 From sarah to Everyone:
    Remembered from the Monday replay and Autumn leaves. Little bit different. Go from Majeur to minor in the numbers. 2-5-1
17:06:56 From Yael Yaniv Perry to Everyone:
    that means you can only use F# in the B chord right?
17:07:35 From Stefanie Bieber to Everyone:
    Anne, the G# is an artificial raised 7th step to make the dominant E strong, it is what we call harmonic minor
17:08:01 From Heather F to Everyone:
    I-ii-V-I // ii-V-I // vi-vii-III-vi.    Or something like that
17:08:20 From Stefanie Bieber to Everyone:
    The G# only appears in the E chord, not in the Am chord.
17:09:27 From Angie Smales to Everyone:
    I understand you question Anne, if the keys of C & A have no # or b ie related, why are we sharpening the G in this case 🤷‍♀️
17:10:40 From Anne Horton to Everyone:
    ==> Find your “Sweet Spot” - create a “loop” of “creative resonance” so you become your music! :)
17:11:10 From Heather F to Everyone:
    1-2-5-1 // 2-5-1 //  into A minor 1-2-5-1 // 2-5-1 back to C major
17:25:44 From Carol Henley to Everyone:
    playing with abandon is so much fun!
17:25:48 From Melinda Ostrander-Aviles to Everyone:
    Birthdays can be "grand!"
17:25:59 From Tammy H to Everyone:
    simple is best  you can always add onto it
17:26:08 From Cathy Hornby to Everyone:
    A really fun and easy modulation that was engrossing and had loads of scope. Loved it
17:26:11 From Heather F to Everyone:
    I liked the changes on Happy birthday
17:26:20 From Mariah Hoskins to Everyone:
    loved the smattering of beginning and advanced ways to play
17:26:27 From Joke Verdoold to Everyone:
    My takeaway is, say yes to keeping the rhythm.
