This has me in fits of laughter, I like your style! Gorgeous new guitar, just gorgeous. Of course you need a new guitar to go with the capo and strap, no question!
I can’t wait till we hear you playing your new guitar.
Ah, the journey interrupted. Glad to see you have decided to see what’s around the bend. Looking forward to hearing your progress and sharing your enjoyment.
Still not managed another of Justins lessons, spent a while playing with setup etc.
I found my old multi effects pedal thing and power supply so got that working with headphones for some more electric fun.
Then used a rocksmith cable to connect up to my PC, grabbed the demo/free version of amplitube and had a play round with that, looks some quality software but expensive, good you can record/sample yourself playing and has a lot of nice effects.
Also found guitarTuna on my phone (and Justin guitar app) . GuitarTuna seems to be really nice and accurate tuning .
Luckily tho my ear is still pretty good at identifying notes and tuning manually but this makes it much easier…
So no guitar amp at the moment (used to have a fender pro-185 but its way too noisy for home use), might see if I can grab Bluetooth connection from the guitar/pedal to the stereo?
Anyhow on to playing, stuck with the ol electric yesterday as Saturday destroyed my fingertips on the acoustic, still not tough enough but threw the new capo on and worked on some fingerpicking and chord changes, found an awesome song to have a go at, just the right level of difficulty plus the online tab is wrong so was nice to work out whats wrong and figure out whats right by ear, then found an old live video of the song and confirmed my ideas are on the right line!
So between that and a strumy wish you were here, and some half remembered bits and pieces I’m really happy with my progress, hopefully I’ll be up to recording a go at the song mentioned above and putting it up here this week, after a few more actual lessons watched.
Plus I need to practice that new A chord fingering Justin has!
I second what others have said - beautiful guitars! Sounds like you still remember quite a lot from your earlier days - that’s pretty impressive and should serve you well. My only advice would be to try to take your time even with the lessons that cover topics you are already comfortable with. Looking forward to hearing and seeing you around here.
Thanks! I was drooling at the full Gibson Slash version didnt realise this even existed, guess it didnt until recently? Wasnt expecting a new guitar but my wife surprised me
Yeah I am lucky at the moment to be in this position, when I first learned I bought a £20 wreck from a salvage shop, some knock off SG copy that barely worked, broken nut etc, stripped it down and painted it with hammerite haha I think thats still sat at my mums
Not much visual progress but I did spend last night practicing A/D chords and I am getting there with Justins A chord fingering, can hit it cleanly almost every time, still occasionally getting my palm on the high e but mostly there.
So I’ve signed myself off on g1/m1 now
Module 2 should go quickly I think, its good seeing my hands start to do what they should be doing
Ok so this is becoming more diary like every day! Apologies if its boring…
Worked through quite a bit last night in a couple hours.
Grade 1/module 2 went quickly, all good with the E chord, strumming and grooving to the blues brothers.
Module 3, already knew Em and Am, played a couple of the practice songs first and all good, had a play with the capo and for a brief moment became Jack White.
Smashed out some Lenny Kravitz to finish up.
Loaded up module 4 but called it quits before really getting into it as my finger tips are done in, might take a break today (should get the Les Paul tomorrow), know my (3rd) finger isnt finding the B string for the Dm but I think Justin will teach 1-2-4 so I wont worry too much as yet.
So far been a strange mix of yeah all good and omg noe thats hard relearning…
let me know how it is once it’s in your hand and you give it a good spin
