Log for 2024

Module 10

Weak G used back in Dec in song “Little pink houses” and onward when better suited
Using small barre AMaj when I can , needs some attentions as tends to mute on release. !
Barre F - pleased with progress - up to 45+ changes to weak G - when possible redo last song with full F chord
Alternate picking C Maj, fine here well over 60 bpm
C Maj improv - still to do
Rythem push - not started -need to look at “for what it worth”
Beginner hammer on’s WIP for 2 months , need to attempt hammer on for last song more
La Bamba riff - completed
Chord progressions - not started
Songs - 3 completed and recorded for grade 2 using grade 2 techniques

For the most part module 10 I am comfortable with, with a few exceptions to carry forward. !

  • Notes
    I haven’t progressed much in strumming SOS Grade 2 due to time away with partners build project. I’m in need of catch up time now in a few areas.

Parts not completed are Improv from module 10, not sure why this is bothering me so much. :frowning: to not have done this ages ago

Of course there’s a big downside to this, I don’t think anyone know if you’ve update your original post. Perhaps I need to rethink this Idea. ?

Anyway a new AVOYP comming soon to a youtube channel near you - Little Pink houses - The App. !

Not a great deal to say right now, continued practice of grade 2 material is going well.

F Barre in over 40 change a min, and almost ready to try in songs.
3 pieces have already been recorded for grade 2 so I’m pleased with that.
Pretty much finished with module 10 but, i’ll carry on with a few that I feel still need work.

Module 11 for Feb-Mar

Original post update.

Good on you Rachel, Whole of the Moon is a cool song, I’ve never tried playing it actually and talk about covering a good range of chords, well done!

Awesome :+1:

So, I really don’t want to do these power chords from Grade 2 mod 12, I just feel they’re not my cup of T.
If I feel later down the line (ha much later down the line), I might come back to them. !
