"Classical Guitar Essentials Advanced - Part 2"
"This is the second part of the Classical Guitar Essentials the advanced course. If youve been following the course since the beginning, you have reached to Grade 4 in London College of Music level, which is half way to the last grade. Thats huge! By now you should have a very solid foundation in the classical guitar, and you are comfortable reading standard sheet music notation. We going to continue were we left off in the previous course, learning more scales and arpeggios and introducing your first 3 octaves scale which will open the fret board for you. The first section deals with the technical work which is the scales and arpeggios for Grade 4 LCM, dont skip this one as this section will prepare you for whats coming. The ability to play these scales and arpeggios will raise your stamina and develop the muscle technique to be able to play for longer times.Next, the repertoire section. Ive chosen 3 pieces, each one with a different challenge: The first one is Etude in Em by F. Tarrega, this study is required in Grade 4 LCM, and its a charming piece with one bar chord and a stretch in your left hand from fret 3 to fret 7! Dont worry, you can do this.The next piece is Jesu, Joy of Mans Desiring by Bach. A very well-known tune in the key of G major. Its written in triplets and will test your knowledge in the arpeggio of G major and D major. So if youve forgotten these two I recommend that you go back and refresh your memory on them. The last one is a surprise, its the main theme of Game of Thrones. Winter is coming and there is a very challenging bar chord in there. For the first time we are going to use a CAPO, without it you will not be able to do the bar chord as its impossible on the first position! So go and buy one if you dont have a capo, trust me its worth it.In section 3 we are going to learn about the intervals. This is an essential concept if you want to learn more about harmony. As this subject is a bit complicated to learn in one section - or even one course - I decided to give you a hint about it in this course, and continue with it in the next one. Youll be amazed how important this subject is once you started playing the exercises. We finish this section with classic hit from The Beatles, Blackbird.The last section I provide a very useful tools for you to help you organize your practicing. Theres an article about how to practice scales, the link will take you to an external website called Classical Guitar Corner, which I think is the best website online dedicated for the classic guitar. Its a free article, you dont even have to leave your email. Look around and I am sure you will find something to suit your needs or answer a question you have. The final lecture has an article by me with a downloadable recourse to help you organize your practice routine. Print out the schedules and fill it like I describe in the article, it will greatly enhance the way you practice, and accelerate your progress.Join more than 10K happy students who took this series.

"Improve Your Eye Health By Enhancing Peripheral Awareness"
"We have a fundamentalproblem with our eyes and vision...It's a problem that your eye doctor will probably never talk about...That's because it's a problem that eyeglasses, contact lenses and even surgery can never correct.Only that rare breed of Doctors of Optometry with a special affinity for Functional (Behavioral, Developmental,or Holistic) Vision Care are even interested to take the time to consider the basic principles I am about to share with you here...By the way, I was named ""Holistic Optometrist of the Year"" by the International Society for Holistic Optometry...Here's the problem:Visual stress and even visually related stress tightens your eye muscles...This subtle strain on your 12 extraocular musclesrestrictscirculation in your peripheral retina because it drainsthrough the vortex veins which go through those very muscles...It's a catch 22...The more stressed you are, the less you are aware of...The lower the quality of your visual input, the harder it is to see...The harder it is to see, the harder we tend to look..But the harder we look, the more we tighten our extraocular muscles...The more those muscles tighten, the less blood flow we allow to carry essential oxygen and nutrients to our peripheral retina...We absolutely have to break this cycle to restore both better vision and eye health.In addition to being foundational for maintaining or restoring our eye health as we mature, thisprocess is alsocritical to breaking the rampantcycle of attention deficit and underachievement in our younger generation...I began learning about all this as a C student in 2nd grade, who shot up to straight A's when my father put me through his world renownedVisual Training program that summer...Just for the record, my father, J. Baxter Swartwout, O.D., F.A.A.O., F.C.O.V.D. was named to replace A.M. Skeffington, the father of Functional Optometry, as president of the Optometric Extension Program Foundation, the largest post-graduate continuing education organization in the eye care field...Now, experience the real solution:To help you clear upyour eye health issues, your eyes need their full circulation, because your retina is the most oxygen demanding tissue in your whole body...To clear up your vision problems, you also need to open up that peripheral vision, which means learning how to see more and see easier,by looking less hard and focusing less intensely...Is it possible that you could effortlessly and instantaneously see more by simply looking less? Try it right now. Without doing anything differently with your eyes or body, shift your mind to thinking about what you are seeing out of the corners of your eyes. Does that feel like a whole new way of seeing? If you notice a difference, it means that you have not been using your full peripheral vision. You just accomplished your first peripheral vision exercise. Now stop being extra aware of your peripheral vision... You can't, can you? That is the reason this program works so well, and so effortlessly. Once you bring your consciousness to feeling your feet on the floor right now... There is a residual effect of increased awareness and vitality that lingers on. The same is true for the eyes and your vision. We will start with peripheral vision because it is the first to be lost under any kind of stress. And it is the most important foundation for building efficient, stable high level visual abilities as you progress into future courses. Peripheral Vision Exercises This course is designed as the foundational course for improving eye fitness and vision performance. Peripheral awareness, or the volume of active, real-time spatial perception in our consciousness, is the foundation of every higher order visual ability that we want to restore, maintain and develop. Peripheral vision is the context for any visual content we are interested in. It is the ground for every figure that we discern. It is the space in which we have the freedom to think and move. It is the space inside the box, and the room to think outside the box as well. When it comes to movement and physical performance issues, such as are challenged at a high level in sports, it is the peripheral awareness that becomes the database from which we can program and coordinate all movement. It determines the quality of input that determines the reliability and ability to recall our visual and other embedded memories. Our relationship to our visual space guides us in navigating the social sphere, and leads our journey into the transcendent connection with our non-local source, as well as our mission of manifesting that transcendent nature here and now in this life for the benefit of all."
