Thanks Mari!
Yep, 7/9 piece from Justins solo blues course. Called Single Line Blues.
It’s hard sometimes to differentiate semitone bends and curls (1/4 bends). And when the tempo increases I feel its just muscle memory if you hit a correct semitone, too fast tempo too hear if you hit the right note or not… I guess its just practice, practice, practice…
I feel switching frequently between guitars (electric, acoustic, string gauge) makes it kinda harder to develop that muscle memory.
No Scandinavian relatives, Mari is short for Marigold, my mother’s maiden name. I shortened it to Mari when I was a teenager, but I kept the spelling because I like it!
I switch between electric and acoustic all the time as well, as I have my DIY tele at work to practice on my lunch break, and at home I’m either using my Strat with headphones or a Martin acoustic. I find that switching definitely has an impact, but overall I find it actually works well for me, keeps me tuned in to the music more or something.
Now to try to get those couple of ‘curls’ on Gospel Blues!
Its been awhile , but here is Walking Bass Blues. Number 8 out of 9 from Justins Solo Blues Guitar course. Just 1 left I put the first recording (walking easy blues) out february 2022.
Played at medium speed 120 bpm. Full speed, according to Justin is 140 bpm.
Nice Hans,
Oooh I still have that stuff lying around to learn
Too many fun and beautiful things to learn and too little (recovery and
brain power) time for everything
Greetings,Rogier
Good to see you have nearly finished the course Hans. That one certainly has more of a jazz vibe going on. Need to get back on track with this having stuttered with No 3. Sweet playing sir !
It sounds like James did a fantastic job on the performance! It’s always great to receive positive feedback, and it’s clear that James put effort into his playing. Adjusting the guitar volume to make it slightly louder could enhance the overall balance, but regardless, it’s clear that his hard work paid off in creating a great performance.
So here is the last piece from Justins solo blues guitar course. This was sticky! It took a long time to get some of those chord shapes ringing out correctly, and I have still not perfected it. Really liked the diminished chord passage.
Some buzzes here and there, but I am ready to move on.
Startet the course february 2022 and I am now ending it september 2024…
Good work Hans. You must have learned a lot doing that course as a whole. It seems complementary to the Blues Immersion that I am doing right now. 2 years, I see that it is a big project, I might have to finish a few things before starting on that track then
really well done Hans, sounds lovely and clear.
It was a good idea to have that percussion rhythm track going to keep the tempo solid too
Yep, time to move on to your next challenge. Good luck with it
Cheers
