Close your eyes before hitting the button? Ask someone else to click the button for you? :rofl:

But yeah, your struggle is really relatable ^^

I must take an anticoagulant drug again for the moment and tomorrow I must call the surgeon desk to take an appointment
I must have these bad veins removed :sob:

Ah man, that sucks. But it’s I think a pretty routine procedure, so hopefully you’ll recover quickly and not get any more clots! :people_hugging:

The holidays are over !
First guitar lesson of the year with my teacher today

we worked on Wonderful Tonight
Before the Christmas break we talked about the live version of the song from the 70’s
its an awesome version and I told him Id like to learn it if its possible
SURPRISE
today he had the live version transcribed :open_mouth: ( half of it at least )
this version is way more challenging but sounds so good
He believes I can do it so its up to me to practice it now !

this is the riff in the studio version

this is the riff in the live version

back in september I only wanted to learn the riff to learn how to bend and i thought Id play the rest of the song in open chords
My teacher challenged me to learn the picking pattern too so I did it and so far I was doing well
and now its another step , another challenge !

I asked him which version I am to learn now
the studio or the live and he told me to focus on the live
so Im back to learning it from the start :rofl:

I really appreciate how my teacher listen to what I want to learn , challenges me and believes I can do it ^^

@DavidP thanks
I had 2 other medical exams today
for my thyroid this time ^^”
I has my blood tested , the blood sample showed that my blood sugar is decreasing which is a good news :slight_smile:

I had an ultrasound exam of my throat
it showed a bigger thyroid than normal with a small nodule :sob:
the doc said that for the moment theres nothing to do but to keep on eye on it for 1 , 3 and 5 years if it doesnt evolve
My GP will call me next week to talk about it :confused:
