Thank you for all the positive comments everyone, that was a nice way to wake up this morning . I forgot to say that constructive criticism comments would be welcome as well. The things I struggled with were the fiddly B7 bit (which I finally got, apart from Red Light Recording fever), and then transitioning between bass notes without always stopping the sound of the last bass note, and finally how much of a bend to use. I was okay with how that ended up, but I think it’s not as crisp a bend as Justin has in the lesson. Anyway, overall I’m definitely happy with this piece.
@ReneAsologuitar thank you I definitely admire your skills in the singer/songwriter style. I’m moving into fingerstyle (so I don’t have to sing lol), but I am seeing on the other piece I’m working on right now that dynamics and expressiveness add so much to fingerstyle too. Your piece definitely inspired my towards expressiveness - not necessarily in this piece, but another song will be coming
@DavidP thanks so much David. You inspired me with your North Star comments, and I feel very comfortable on this path right now
@Socio well it’s your fault James! And I’m very glad to have seen your Blues log and been inspired to start my own. Having this here now is also very motivating to continue working on further pieces.
@Helen0609 thank you very much I find so much motivation in this Community, I’m very happy if I can provide a bit of motivation sometimes too!
@roger_holland thank you Rogier And please tag me when you finish this one and post it!! Do I see another Blues Studies log about to happen?
@DarrellW thanks Darrell, and thanks for that link, I will be checking him out. I’d like to go through Justin’s entire course, but I would also like to learn some entire songs!!
@Silvia80 thank you The Blues is such a great genre, I hope to stay steady on this course. Also with some fingerstyle rock / pop too though!
@sairfingers thank you Gordon, and thanks for the laugh!
@TRJ thanks, I really like this Solo Blues course, they are definitely great pieces. Re video editing, I used 2 cameras, and recorded twice. I have 4 cameras so theoretically could have recorded all 4 at the same time, but for the 2 close up angles, especially the fretboard camera, I didn’t want those cameras in the wide angle view. I thought about getting the Magnet camera holder that Kasper was talking about, but for $45 USD + $20 shipping I decided to instead go for a $20 Cdn camera holder that clips on the headstock of my guitar. That takes cool shots, but I don’t want that camera holder featured in my main video!
@jkahn thanks JK. What I noticed about the interior walls in my house in the video is that they’re very dull! They’re used to be something above the piano, but I hadn’t noticed how bare everything looks!! Time for some decorating
