Hello dear folks, quick update from me. As recently I have finally cleared some of the backlog of songs I was learning (not all of course, still some stuff cooking up!) I was reminded by dear @DarrellW about a song I always wanted to learn but I knew it’s gonna be a rabbit hole and here I am!

So without further ado may I present to you More than Words Work in Progress! At the moment it’s Day 5 for me today and it is fun to learn. I did a little video of how am I getting on, mostly for fun to see how am I doing over time (always wanted to do it and usually started too late thinking about it) but also perhaps for others to see how is my process of learning songs looking like - I doubt many will see it on my LL however once I finalize the song at some point in the future I will post it all together as a separate post so people can actually see the process.

I tend to learn in a very logarithmic way - starting quite dynamically but the more I am getting into polishing things up the slower it tends to get unfortunately. Well that’s the process and not much I can do about it except bracing myself with some extra patience.

Here is the link to the video, listed as private so only those with link will see it (which is basically everyone here). I think it’s not as complicated as I was expecting it to be, however it is still difficult and a lot of details to remember so will take some time!

Besides that I am enjoying new house and new studio, changed my laptop to one with more USB ports and also to allow my wife to grab my other one whenever she needs to. On top of that I have a docking station as well so I am finally able to leave an interface on a table - quite handy as I was able to quickly plug in my guitar and record above video in no time. Plan for near future is to buy some monitors to connect up permanently with my interface, still considering options. Now onto the usual stuff.

Practice routine:

  • Songs songs songs for now and everything has been put aside. I would love to incorporate some more theory and structured lessons but for the moment I believe songs I am learning are giving me far better technical skills than playing scales. However once in a while I love to improvise a bit to a backing track randomly found on youtube :slight_smile:
