Just been catching up with your latest videos :clap::clap::clap::clap:

All the practice you do really shows being able to keep such consistency across 3 and 4 minute songs, not easy stuff either. Really well done :+1:

Still trying to understand how to mute strings

My cat got sick last night , since he was not getting better, I had to bring him to the vet
he’ll stay there tonight
I couldnt play my usual practice because of that

Been to my guitar lesson with my new teacher this morning ( 1 hour)

We first worked a bit on the bending technic since I had some questions
Then we worked on transcribing
the exercise was to listen to some music and then to recognize the notes and chords and to find where they were on the neck

I found them all but the barre chord because I wasn t expecting one :sweat_smile:
I did find that it was a C chord though ( it was a Cm barre chord )

For a first lesson on transcribing I think I did great ^^

Next lesson in 2 weeks , we will work on Wonderful tonight again

My cat is back and is slowly getting better
he was reeking of piss when I got him back so I gave him a bath
he was adorable :heart_eyes:
he said nothing and let me wash him twice
now he’s sleeping a lot and slowly gaining more energy , he could barely stand on his paws yesterday :frowning:

Had he ever been bathed before? My cat used to get bathed somewhat regularly but he’d still get a bit hissy towards the end of the bath, even though he was used to it from kittenhood. Maybe your cat was so disgusted by his own state and just happy to be back home that he’d let you do whatever as long as it was with love.

[/quote]

He had a bath once when he was a wee kitten from the lady who was looking for his forever home
Since he s an indoor cat I never had to bath him

[quote="ConstanceClaire, post:1320, topic:275569”]
but he’d still get a bit hissy towards the end of the bath,
[/quote]

mine was not hissy but toward the end he started to meow like he was crying : Are we done yet ?

You re probably right
he s also the most adorable cat ever , very sweet

After the bath his whole body was shivering for a long time , it broke my heart :sob:
He spent the next 2 days hidden in his bed
