Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You - Fingerstyle

Hi, I am currently doing Justin’s Blues Immersion Course and accidently posted something in the this forum. I received such nice and positive feedback, I thought I would like to engage more with this community. I have had a guitar in my life for >45yrs, off and on. But been playing seriously for about 10-15 years. Until now all self taught via books and the internet. Last year I started in-person lessons for the first time. Been looking at Justin since before he was wearing a hat when he was still sitting cross legged on the floor. This piece I have been playing for many years to train my fingers for fingerstyle. I still really love playing it.

Hi Matthijs ,
That was great :sunglasses: :clap:
Good to see that you have been playing for a while… :smiley:

I was wondering what happened to your first video here just now…but I understand that it is back in the Blim 2 class. … welcome again here to the big house :smiley: :sunglasses:

Greetings ,Rogier

Hi @roger_holland, I think so. TBH, I’m not entirely sure of the different areas but I posted the first one in BLIM and it ended up here and then I asked for it to be for BLIM as I recorded it for that material. Anyway…whatever. In intend to re-record Love In Vain as I mucked up the sound in post-production which is why it was so quiet. Great to be in the Big House now. I have a few other things I have been working on which I will post over the next few week. Including my take on Fast Car which I learnt off Justin’s first video many years agos but really like his new lesson. Thank you for welcoming me into this group.

Some super fingerstyle on display there Matty and I loved the contrast when you broke in to the strumming part.
Well done.

That was a great listen Matty, and fun to watch your accomplished finger picking. And there’s nothing like waking up (4 a.m. here), pouring some coffee and listening to some Zeppelin!

So good! I really liked it and listened to it twice already. It’s one of my fav Zep songs.

That’s pretty decent, a few inconsistencies in the dynamics but not anything that can’t be fixed. It’s a song I like too, maybe some time in the future I might try it!

Very enjoyable, Matty & nice to meet you. I love the Fingerstyle songs lately (since that is where I’m at in my own practicing routine); & then you broke out in some aggressive strumming. Wow, if I tried it like that, I would lose a thumbnail, LOL! Anyway, good job. I look forward to more from you.
