What are you learning?

Its all in the fingers, or is it?

@foal30, no just scales on the guitar. Drives the kids and wife nuts.

Looped the opening chords for Pretenders 'Chain Gang' (No idea why; moment of senility). Started noodling over it and disappeared for an hour and a half before suddenly realising that I had a cheerful summery tune that bore no resemblance at all to its origins.

I need to do this more often.
That's what I'm learning.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

The Chain by Fleetwood Mac. Had to teach myself fingerstyle.

Today I charted out "Addict" by K's Choice and "Valeire" by Amy Winehouse. I also heard this amazing cut by AW called "My Tears Dry on Their Own" which is Motownesq Magic. Definitly got the Ain't No Mountain thing happening

Clever and cool.

Still in a new order frame of mind, had to do this from scratch as I couldn't find a midi for it. Some of the guitar is a bit rough but I'll re-record at some stage if need be. My half a hand shandy bass features on two tracks :D sounds not half bad... Took a good week or so to sort, moving onto krafty next, thats half done so far.

So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

i'm trying to get some Jerry Reed licks down
So far massive fail on my part
There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.

When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

maybe, but they'd need to play to the track, fully intend using drum tracks for the authentic feel.
