Thanks for the good advice Shane @sclay . I’ll try that :slight_smile: You are a good blues player, I remember you were always first in the BLIM medley haha :slight_smile:

Thank you Silvia @Silvia80 :slight_smile: I’m learning a chord melody version of Jingle Bells from youtube right now, hopefully it will be as cool as yours.

Sound good Matthieu! Some familiar licks there. I’ve been trying to break out into G, will give D a go!

@sclay Bb is a good idea. I’ve only tried it when I feel like playing the JBG intro again for fun!

I’m sure it’ll be way cooler Mathieu, just for the fact that you’re probably learning from an arrangement made by a pro while my stuff is…ehm…“homemade” :thinking: …well homemade with love :nerd_face::smiling_face_with_three_hearts::joy:

@GrumpyMac If you make a Christmas thread like last year, I’ll be happy to share a recording there — it was a lot of fun! I’d say the arrangement feels like a grade 5 song, but my nerves would probably be way too high for a open mic live performance. :joy::joy: It’s a little out of my league, but I’m making good progress.

Thanks Ashu @Beatup6String . I’m happy you recognized some BLIM licks :slight_smile: Yeah, G is another fun key to play :slight_smile:

@Silvia80 Yes that’s the special ingredient !!!

Chapter 6: After the Blues Immersion

I’m about to finish my first year of consolidation after the 6 months Blues Immersion course. :partying_face:

My strategy for the second year of consolidation is simple: break my barriers by trying a new lesson every week — not mastering it, just giving it a real shot. :slightly_smiling_face:

Some weekly lessons, like this one, push me further out of my comfort zone than others.

Time will tell if this try-something-new-every-week approach really works.

But for now, my comfort zone does seem to be slowly stretching, and it seems to be helping my memory improve when it comes to learning new things.

As an added bonus, here’s last week’s lesson. It’s not an original song like the previous post, but I’m actually quite surprised I learned half of the song in a few days. :exploding_head: I might learn the second chorus this week, it’s even cooler.
