Thanks Roger!! Ok maybe over the next week or 2 I will practice at some confidence and take a video and play a bit longer, something to work towards! :slightly_smiling_face::slightly_smiling_face: Take care

Hello Chiara, this was lovely :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:. You have a beautiful voice, and also your playing was really nice. Lots to like :smiley:.
The only thing Iā€™d like to suggest, is to place your recording device a bit differently, so that we can hear your guitar a bit better (I think this time it was a bit low in volume :thinking:).
Iā€™m looking forward to hearing more from you :slightly_smiling_face:.

Hi Chiara, I liked this very much.
I practiced this one, too, and I know that it is really difficult to play and sing along. Love your voice, too :slight_smile:
Keep going , would be nice to hear more from you!!

Should be Nobodyy leaves a Girl like that
Nobody Leaves A Girl Like That - with Old Faithful

As promised :roll_eyes: Whatā€™s Up - 4 Non Blonds

Thought Iā€™d have a look at Last Christmas - WHAM! - Old Faithful again but needs re-recording due to video jump :pleading_face:

Fabulous posts Rachel! Super rock steady strumming with old faithful on Home Town Girl and Last Christmas and spot on pattern with Whatā€™s Up. Changes clean and timed nicely, plenty to be happy with all around, bravo! :+1: :clap:

Sounding really good Rachel. Apart from the playing and tone, I think you nailed the balance between guitar and BT.

I think next time round post up in AVOYP as your own Topic.

Keep on rocking and rolling!

Thanks Nicole! :smiley: I will definitely take that on board for next time, I also have not grasped using a pick yet which is probably causing my guitar to be low in volume too, Iā€™ll keep practicing :slight_smile:

626

Thatā€™s the same here :smiley: . Iā€™m only playing with my fingers (no pick so far). And yes, thatā€™s a reason for the lower volume.

Great work Rachel. :+1:
The strumming/ rhythm skills are looking really good, along with solid, clean chord changes. Well done.

Cheers, Shane

Three very good videos there Rachael. Your playing is great. You look very relaxed in your strumming and the chord changes sound nice and clean. Well done.

Thts good to know, Iā€™ve done the Strumming SOS 1 for 11 weeks, maybe time to look into dynamics and possible get a better feel to upgrade my strumming. ?

Bravo, Chaira, that truly was ā€˜short and sweetā€™. Playing and singing both sounded good. Keep on keeping on and I look forward to a full recording of the song when you are ready.

Here is my second attempt at Pearl Jamā€™s black ,hopefully better than the last time I played this. I have been working hard on my timing and in general strumming . I think I have improved and will continue to work on my timing. Also working on dynamicsā€™s and sus cords.
