Practiced Thumb Muting : Played I love this bar by Toby Keith

Yousician removed the thrill is gone level 5 … they put new versions of the song so Im going back to practicing it
The basic melody and chords is a good practice for fingers dexterity and speed
I should add back Before you accuse me by Clapton to my routine to practice B7
much work still to do … I start on a C but end on a A which i dont think is ideal …
but it does not sound too bad
I ve not started the music theory for grade 3 yet so I m just experimenting on the neck ^^”
still not happy with the ending
I should watch videos tutorials about outros ( and intros )

I lowered my strap again
Today I spent a LOT of money
as always I hate to do it , I m always scared to spend money …
I bought a portable air conditionner I hope it will help me bear the heat this coming summer
And since its almost my birthday , I also bought a gift for myself !
I will take pictures when I’ll get it ^^
Hope the air conditioner does the trick and makes the highs of summer more bearable. We bought a dehumidifier a few months ago and it’s made our house much more comfortable.
Your Musopia play list is great: I look forward to the full performance!
Many happy returns for the forthcoming birthday, Deborah. Sure the AC will make a difference.
We are the opposite, replacing windows tomorrow that will improve insulation against the cold (I know not really cold by northern hemisphere standards) this coming winter.
the last 2 years it was 30 or 31° inside
playing guitar or sleeping was very difficult !
a fan is not enough in such high temperatures , even a fan with ice in it … so I really hope a portable air con will be better
I dont know the weather for this week in UK , but here we ‘re gonna have 25° C
its not even May yet … I really fear the worst for july august and september

nice idea !
I like the cold , you can always put the heaters on , put on a sweater , a nice comfy pants , add a blanket … etc
but you can do nothing against the heat !!!

hmmm I think I can record I love this bar and you should probably leave
Im still having issues with the blues pattern , the last upstrum makes it hard to quickly change chord so I still have to work on it before I can record the other songs
I like to go in the app and pick random country music songs ^^
So true. We also have a close wood-burning fireplace in the lounge which is wonderful. Summer the best we can do is a dip in the swimming pool to temporarily cool off. But as you say, sleeping is far less pleasant when temperature at night is in the 30Cs
