Slow Six Blues added Mar 12/23

Here’s the 4th piece of 9 in Justin’s Solo Blues Guitar course. I’ve got a friend’s guitar borrowed for a week, an Eastman E10-SS. It’s a slope shoulder, which is a dreadnought, so the sound is great. It’s too big for my shoulder for me to play comfortably for very long though, so it’s not my dream guitar - still looking.

I didn’t want to use my guitar head camera clip on for a video view, since it’s not my guitar, but I did have 2 cameras for the video still. I did 2 partial takes, and 2 full takes. On the playback I realized that I had once again set the video record button to slow-mo, making that video useless. That was the front/centre video, so I’m left with just the closer video, which isn’t framed very well. Oh well, you can still hear the guitar.

Any constructive feedback would be appreciated. Richard noted some muting on the E and B strings for one of the prior ones , so I tried to take that into account on this piece and let the high strings ring out. I think it was more successful than before, but it still needs work. For this one I found the fast chromatic walk down on the turn around the most challenging part, and I’m not getting a very good little curl in the 1 spot. Other than that I think the muck ups are pretty much due to the recording button being red :woman_shrugging:

I thought we could change the title of the first post to add info re new posts, but I can’t figure out how to do that today.
