Hi People who take the time to visit it here, a small but also a very big update,
The preparations for The Justin Blues immersion are in full swing and I must say that I miss quite a bit of interaction with the people who have not registered and are only hanging out here in the open area, I had to swallow far too many jokes, I am happy There are also quite a few old hands present, but the whole vibe is different… oh well, I’m just an aging fool who just doesn’t like a lot of change… BUT the fact that the BLIM is there is really great for me …
And Mathieu @math07 To you I would like to say a special thank you for posting your joke/persuasion attempt with 666 number of members in the blim …
because of that large number I did not feel guilty to claim such a place with the expectation that I would not have do everything that I read in the introduction very well and then the Teacher would get angry at me…or even worse…disappointed in me
This is what I need now to focus seriously because I started to lose a little bit of grip on a larger area than just guitar, you have meant more than you could imagine (of course) but the thanks are no less to…
So ,back where I came her for…I would like to share with you my first “Point Zero” (no, don’t reverse those two words )
Funny detail is that I have done better improvisations, but as said before, now it can only be a little easier and better in 6 months (although I really did my best on this of course)…Haven’t done an impov with a backing track for too long…
Hope you enjoy the effort

Here I go, with due restraint, I am quite satisfied with some things… for example this is attempt 2 of 5 recordings (that is not much for me old members will know ) and I always have the same first 12 bars which is new to me in playing improv , the last notes …well that was wrong and that’s why I tried it a few more times, but in the end the factor that the cat did participate make me post this one (I saw her passing by and jump on the table and walk to the laptop and that gave a good distraction ).
Oh well, and those other recordings weren’t really any better either…slightly fancier licks with 3 big oops in the middle…
I’m also happy with the call and response I put in , and the things that can improve slickness, flexibility and much more.
On this backing track I could not play 4 of my “petlicks”, but because this backing track is outside my comfort zone, I have learned quite a bit about myself already …Ps: sometimes the band plays out of my rhythm… amateurs
Below is a photo of how I record at the moment, with a very cheap telephone, the monitor speakers behind a large table… the amplifier in front of it on the floor reverberating into the kitchen I put a chair with a vest to make it sound a little less bad, and the laptop blocking sound from the left box (I only noticed now )… There is still a lot of quality to be gained here …before the end of the course I will finally have it done…
Greetings ,Rogier
