Sounds like a lot of fun. The easy way to hear the difference is like this. What they both have in common is that they sound unusual which basically comes from the discordance you hear because the 5th is not a perfect 5th like major or minor chords which we are so used to hearing. So there is an unusual 5th that our ears… Read more

Your hips should never be below your knees when you’re playing guitar. I’d advise only to play sitting on the sofa if you’ve got our legs crossed and your back straight. And also if you’re standing then you can dance!

Spend a day working on these lessons and it should make a big difference for the right hand.

In Guitar Technique Library, Dexterity Exercises module there is a lesson called right hand technique

I saw that you bought the Bass Technique Library course. In the first module there is a lesson called Fundamental Left Hand Technique. In this video I can see you are rotating from the elbow when you play on frets 1-4. This lesson will show you how to move from the shoulder to avoid turning the elbow.

The Mande/Mandingue/Mandinka empire began in Mali and they ruled Guinea/Senegal/Gambia/Burkina Faso so that’s why there are some similarities in language groups, ethnic groups, traditional instruments and of course music in these countries.
