Hi @Richard_close2u , I have a question about where to most appropriately postā€¦if I record more of the blues studies (or other pieces that are lesson-specific).

@jsgreen
James I would suggest here or if you want some an initial low key entrance the Beginners Sub-thread. That will solicit feed back form a wider audience. Ideally the lesson threads should be for questions relating to the lessons, seeking advice etc. I am sure @Richard_close2u or @LievenDV will correct me if that is not the case.

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Toby

Hi James.
Community Recordings is the overall category.
Post in a sub-category.
AVOYP is the best place.
You are beyond beginner are you?
Lesson topics really are for questions and answers rather than recordings.
Regards, Richard :slight_smile:

Perfect, Richard, thank you for the clarification.

Beyond beginner? I donā€™t think so, my next step in the course is to consolidate Grade 2 (and I might have a quick pass through Grade 1 to make sure Iā€™ve got it all captured).

One concern I have about my progress is the lack of grade 1 and 2 songs I actually know - thatā€™s what a lot of my consolidation will be spent on fixing.

Thanks so much for this @Richard_close2u, now we have something to point to when subtle hints are ignored :grinning:

My bad - I assuned that as you had learned some of the blues studies you were beyond Grades 1 & 2 at least.

Oh!
Thereā€™s only one response I can make in that case!

Learn songs, learn songs, learn songs.

And congrats James - you are the first to elicit the use of my mantra in the new Community.

Well said @Richard_close2u ; it has been a bit frustrating for some, the ā€˜look at me how good I amā€™ thing doesnā€™t go down well with folks if they donā€™t offer help to those who aspire to their level of skill - give and take is the way to keep this community how itā€™s always been!

Hi, so Iā€™m building up the courage to post my first video of myself playing. But Iā€™ve noticed that most people also sing whilst playing, which I simply canā€™t do (probably a good thing as Iā€™m not a good singer). Iā€™m just wondering if itā€™s ok to be playing along to the song recording instead or is that a no- no?

@ijukes playing along is 100% fine. Go for it. :slight_smile:

Thanks, Richard. What does ā€œpaying it forwardā€ mean?

@davidbollen
David, I am sure this was picked up from the 2000 film of the same name. Google has this definition which reflects our Community ethos

The simplest way to define ā€œpay it forwardā€ is that when someone does something for you, instead of paying that person back directly, you pass it on to another person instead .
