Notter - May 2022 - Green Day, RHCP, Jeff Buckley

Thanks JK, I will do.

I’m finding myself stalled so to speak with my module progression because I’m just wanting to pick up and play around with my songbook and some new little things like this solo practice as well as beginning to work on what I’m hoping to play at OM9. I suppose that’s not a bad thing but I’ve just got in the back of my head that I’m so close to rounding out Grade 2 I really should just get on!!

It’s all playing guitar though so I’m not beating myself too much!

I’m the same as you Mark. I’ve hit the power chords module and kind of stalled to work on my OM9 piece and a couple of other songs that are not power chord related.

It’s meant to be fun, right? I do the same, I diverge from the course and learn songs I want to learn, learn some different skills, muck around, and come back to it. Nothing wrong with that! I probably learn this solo for the same reason you did. :grinning:

… and as I type my trio of YESs I can hear Richard’s mantra in my head. Just in case you haven’t heard it, “Play songs, play songs, play songs”

Oh I certainly subscribe to the mantra Maggie!!! I think Justin’s mentioned it a few times too and applicable to any musical instrument, we don’t want to learn it to play scales right? :rofl:

Hi Notter,

Sounded good.

I’m not much of a lead player, and find it difficult to play with good posture/hand positioning.
I always end up with my hand slightly angled against the neck rather than square on - just feels more comfortable. Probably why I have major limitations.

Little fingers are only there to make the hand look neater. :slight_smile:

Find what works for you and don’t worry about it being “textbook” or not.
