@Bytron08 I’ve played every single day since the day I got my guitar Jan 6th, so about ~8 months.

@suzieq for the first week I couldn’t get through the whole song without my hand muscles screaming at me, lol.

Awesome playing Alexis, sounding great. Love what you did with the tones too. Great rhythm and timing.

I noticed you were hybrid picking - I haven’t tried that yet! How do you find it, have you been doing it for a while because you didn’t mention it in the what I learned section?

Whoops! That’s was absolutely new to me so I’ll edit my post and add it. Like most things with guitar it felt impossible at first, but I switched from a medium pick to a T sized pick which helped a little. It was especially difficult because the song is ~162 BPM. After a while I got used to it and realized that all you need is hit the strings a little with both the pick and fingers to sound good.

Side note: The first thing I did after recording it is cut my nails, I hate having my nails long, but I’m not so good finger picking without it. :sweat_smile:

Very nice, you’ve got the tones very well and timing is pretty decent; excellent! :+1::+1::+1:

Thanks Darrell! Yeah, the timing/rhythm is easily the hardest part of the song. 8th note rests at 162 bpm are subtle but sound really good if hit right. I got mostly there with this one, but I’m def keep this in my repertoire to work on.

Hi Alexis,
Great music and you have made a nice music sound, perfect as far as I’m concerned :clap: :sunglasses: :bouquet:,

You’ve nailed another one Alexis, really well done.

I’m really looking forward to other ones that are to come.

You’re killing it mate! I’ve just read about your plan to do the entire song book and there seems to be some really nice song choices coming up on this first list of 15.
Looking forward to seeing your covers of those. Keep it up!

Thanks Byron, I’ll give Justin’s teaching all the credit. Without this website I’d surely have quit about a week in like the first time I tried to learn guitar when I was a teenager.

Sure I’d save a ton of money on all the guitars/accessories I’ve bought since then but I’d be having considerably less fun. :slight_smile:

So true!
