I thought it sounded ace. And congrats for putting your face in the video now as well

Oh yes, Crystal Ship is one of my favourites and Roadhouse Blues, which I always thought was a little out of character in such a good way.
Nice, been a while since I heard some Doors. Good play and all the best!

Hi Sandro,
That was nice to listen to 
,and that funny faces was not too bad, that can be much, much crazier 
… The switch between strum and fingerstyle was good, that gave a good variety and made it really even better, good choice.
Greetings

Nicely played, Sandro. I really liked your rendition. If you would like to listen to another artist’s cover of this song I would suggest checking out Jose Feliciano’s cover.

Thanks folks. I wasn’t too sure how it would come across with the finger adlib stuff for this playthrough. But I’m glad that it seemed to be well received based on the kind feedback from you all. Cheers
JK/Rogier - I guess I’ll keep my face in my videos from now on then 
Robert - Wow! The soloing and other extra elements that he throws in during the non singing break and throughout the song in general is just insane. I loved it.
David - feel free to talk about any non-performance related subjects on my posts anytime… if it encourages a friendly discussion among the group then I am all for it

Hi Sandro. I really liked your cover of this song. Sooner or later I will post “people are strange”. I am working on that song from the Doors. The chords are pretty easy. Em-Am -B7 and G for the most part.

Thanks Rod, there’s not much to it 
I’m envious of players that have a good voice to sing along haha. I just checked your cover of ‘Have you ever seen the rain’. Nicely done mate.

Sandro, perhaps you just sing along to something, not necessarily an entire song. Then let’s give you feedback on your voice. In my experience, nearly everybody learning to play says they have no voice for singing. And when we hear most are quite OK, some already sound pretty good, and a on the rarest of occasions there are folk who are a little harder to listen to.
I probably fit the latter rare category But I might try to mess around with vocals on a short song eventually and just post it up for a laugh, if nothing else.
Maybe, you will only know when you try. And as I said that is what they all say.
It’s funny what is easy (or easier) to some and what is hard (or harder) for others. There are so many details/techniques with this journey and once you get one thing down decent, here comes another thing that puts you back on the struggle bus! Never got into this for the singing thing, never even thought about it and now I can’t stop😀. There is a hiker saying of “hike your own hike”. I think that can apply to your guitar journey too. Keep it fun but an excursion here or there may bring you a surprise you didn’t foresee or a skill you didn’t think you could do.
I think you have to be ready to grind on something that you don’t immediately pick up to see if you can breakthrough and really do it. That’s what I’m counting on for finger style 
. Maybe that’s the same for singing on your journey. Whatever “ hike” you take on this guitar journey make it your own!….Rod

@Rod58 Great outlook to have Rod.
For finger pattern, I started off with ‘Dust in the wind’. Maybe lookup a youtube tutorial for that song and see if you want to give it a go.
As you pointed out, after grinding through it I was able to sort of get it up to 1/4 speed and then 1/2 speed. Eventually by the time that I got it up to normal speed, my thumb got used to living on the low 3 strings to take care of the root notes.
Once you have your first pattern sorted, you can try some different songs and patterns or just make up some of your own stuff while holding down any chord.
I’m sure that there are plenty of better experienced finger players here that might be able to give you more useful advice, but that’s how I started off with it anyway. Hope it points you in the right direction though.
@CT Thanks Clint, that gif had me laughing
