I hate the heat !

Its too early
Im not ready at all
are you ?
No guitar for me tomorrow , i have a lesson with my teacher and a medical appointment right after … I ll have to walk an hour in this heat to go to the hospital
We first worked on WT
I have the GP file for the song and I didnt understand one of the bends
In the end I can play the bend however I want it wont change a thing
then we worked on OTB
I showed him the part where I still struggle
I have 3 strings to mute but my palm just mutes 2 and the last one sounds like Pouët / Kwak
the position of the volume knob on a strat does not help when it comes to palm muting
so we worked on different palm / hand position to find a solution ant it looks like I found a solution so I ll work on it this week
the other solution would be to just keep on muting only 2 strings and forget about the last one
then I played him the song at 70% speed
I can do the barre chord slide just fine now
to finish the lesson we talked about the last challenge in BLIM
Homework : I have a new transcribing exercise to work on !
After the lesson I went to the hospital to have my post surgery check up
Walking in this heat was very tiring … I felt like a zombie all day long
But the doc my legs are as new !!! nothing to worry about now
No …but I’ve chosen a song (maybe) which needs to be posted at the end of summer… and here you have a hint of which song I’m talking about……two more hints…
See we’re different…I love the heat because it makes me feel it dries my wet aching bones!
