Pedagogical/Etudes/Training Songs

I'm a guitar teacher. I figured I would post for what it is worth, others may find these songs to be useful. Every song has a teaching purpose. You can try and reverse engineer what that purpose of the song is, or just ask me and I can explain what I would say during a lesson.

Whole Tone Practice.

In case you don't know, there's only two whole tone scales, since you are either starting on C or C#.

Whole Tone Scale - Augmented - Brian Streckfus

A few more teaching songs I made.

Three songs with slower moving chord changes.

Digging into Chords 1 - Brian Streckfus

Digging into Chords 2 - Brian Streckfus

Digging into Chords 3 - Brian Streckfus


Then a couple of more difficult songs that work on the diminished scales (Whole Half Scale) and chords. The whole half scale in these two songs is:
C C# D# E F# G A A# C
Which to my ears, works throughout the whole song.

It was a fun experience because it lead to bizarre chords progressions rather quickly.

Whole Half - Diminished - Unknown Composer

Whole Half - Diminished 2 - Unknown Composer

I'm trying to make study pieces like these be better with every comb through.
