Nice work Roger. Some sweet lines, and phrasing there mate.
Cheers, Shane

That was super Rogier. There was a totally Scottish vibe to your piece and I’m racking my brains trying to think what it reminds me of. A bit of ‘Local Hero, Wild Theme’ from Mark Knopfler perhaps. Really looking forward to hearing where this takes you to next.
Well done.
ps. What’s happened to your fancy remote on/off switch?

Hi all ,what a nice start to read this
Thank you Deborah @GrumpyMac and this is the first time
that we have her playing like that on the video, so I had no choice that it had to be posted 
… during the day it is always only once in the morning that she plays briefly, but actually always with me …so sweet 
Yes Michael @MAT1953 that cat has two modus …Most of the time Complete ignoring or when I try to sing along or whistle, very exceptionally, sitting next to me angrily and sometimes meowing 
Thank you
A thanks Andrea @Helen0609
Completely forgot to make tea here and just did it in between typing, nice busy weekend here and nice that it starts with a message to you , you are still working hard on collecting energy ( hopefully I’m wrong)
Miauww… 
Next week next week… 
… 
Thanks for your nice words
Ooo Brian @beejay56
you almost made me look like a fool …Oh well, I don’t care, I am who I am… here it comes 
I wanted to type, …No, it is not a Toccata but a Cyprese…
so so glad I looked it up
Learned a lot of new words thanks to wiki, and I hope it is also the start of a Toccata piece
Cool names …our is called how people call this animals in Dutch …Poes …
I like special names but always end with something like this…our bird was called Vogel…our fish had the name Vis and the color they added
Thank you
That nice to say James @Socio and I will do my best to take your words to heart
As for part 2 and further, knowing me, don’t hold your breath for too long, but I still think the same about it after a night’s sleep, so the chances are increasing… such a very busy weekend, so next weekend one in the Started delving into DAW, my wife had already selected something a while ago, but it was so long ago that she forgot about it
Thanks
Hi Lisa @Lisa_S that is so nice to hear ,thank you and I don’t know what it is but my wife was humming this next to me in the car to the supermarket yesterday and I can’t get it out of my head either
I will do my best
The …little …? kitty …kuch
been trying to lose weight for only a year…she has started to look a little too much like her food dispenser on wheels
Hi Shane @sclay thank you very much that is nice to hear
and then I should listen to Scottish music more often Gordon @sairfingers ooo Mark K if only 
but vey nice to hear you like it
That fancy remote ha ha This was a first recording of a first idea and I never thought it would work with so few mistakes, I think not even played 15 minutes that morning so I especially wanted to capture a motif that was in my head on video so as not to forget it… if I first get the remote control and must be turned on and with Bluetooth on the phone press to connect (okay, it seems like more work than it really is) 
Oh well, you also see me in a flowing moving action
Greetings all and nice to speak to you on this beautiful sunny Saturday morning

Rogier this sounds so so so…good! I loved it from start to finish! 
You have this motif going on and developing it very well. I can’t wait to the complete recording, but no hurry…ok, I’ll wait! Are you improvising it? (Hope it doesn’t sound a stupid question…) My compliments Sir!

Hi Silvia @Silvia80
That is so so nice to hear
You could say that I improvise a lot … after 10 minutes I had put down the chords that came to my mind (so they will certainly not be original) …
the motif came into my head immediately after waking up and without further practice this I turned on the camera… normally I play about 3 times, maybe 5, sometimes 10 times and then a style automatically emerges for the backing track played… .this was first time…
such a very good question, although I had already written something like that… but I sometimes write a bit too much …
Aaa Yes Deborah @GrumpyMac …thank you so much ,because sometimes an eyebrow is raised (or chuckled) because it is sometimes used for a female body part or some just find it a bit strange just ’ Poes ’ becaus it is like call here ‘Cat’ (Kat … in dutch) … I had completely forgotten about Tom Poes (which was very special/uh stupid… but that story is for much later)
Thanks Girls 
Its just that I know a cartoonist who works on Tom poes , and one of my friend gave me a Tom poes book
I cant read it but the illustrations are nice

Original title : If you know what I mean
English Title : The Dragon That Wasn’t (Or Was He?)
This was a great movie from my youth…I never could realized how close this story become my own life, it’s a brilliant story…
The books are also great by the way, I still have a very old one upstairs
thought they had been released in all European languages…
Have fun

Sounds great, Rogier, certainly has a movie/tv show vibe to my ears. Could be played over some interlude without dialogue.

That was a lovely melody! And such a great and rock-stable soloing! Even when the cat walked by and it caught your attention for a moment, you continued like a pro on stage 
But- wait - maybe that was all an arranged game with you and the cat 
I’m glad I visited your Learning Log!

Hi Dominique ,
Thankl you for your very nice comment
Ha ha that cat 
those few times that I am aware that she is clearly walking in the picture, I always hope that I don’t ruin the video… and the result of that is of course that things go really wrong than
Glad I keep going on now … and she plays my game I wish from here
Glad you passing by ,thanks and greetings

Rogier, I thought it sounded amazing. I’m a long way from this level, but I found it very inspiring. So melodic. Great job.

Hi Ronald ,
Welcome here and thank you very much for your nice comment
‘Giving inspiration’ that’s one of the nicest things to hear …
I wish you a prosperous guitar journey and a smooth learning curve…but above all have fun

Old one. (edit: no longer works for the Blues Study, is of course no longer for sale due to the arrival of a new one … not necessary as far as I’m concerned, it’s very good (and fun with some sadistic traits and other stuff from Justin here and there (e.g. the super fast final version) with a big grin) but of course it saves complaints from people who bought the “old” stuff when the new one comes )
First new ones,
Even though this course is being updated and James had told me when and I am looking out for it, apparently he forgot to tell me the correct year 
… 
But I have my hands full trying to get ‘Raggy Island Blues’ above 100BPM so it may take a while,I got more to do 
and let’s face it… this old course is still much better value than those 10 dollars… so no hurry
That Raggy Island Blues up going to about 80 to 100 bpm was so much faster than I had dared to dream, but this one only sounds really good at an even higher speed so I’ll continue practicing (after a long break from that song)
Warning! Old stuff below.
Below I will combine the first 3 in order and then quickly continue with my spring post 
It is constructive so it is quite useful to start with the first one, He says he has thought about it and who would have thought that, that`s true 
Second and a little more fun
This last one is where the real challenge lies and is now a favorite to play and now is done at a little slower pace as a warm-up nowadays . Never thought I could say that 2 years ago 
Greetings …

Very enjoyable: even the exercises can be performed as little songs. You have good control of the voicing and the phrasing of these pieces: a lightness of touch.

What a weekend we have ,finally did one of the nicest things there is for me, although Silvia @Silvia left me in doubt for a while this morning with the combination of 2 beloved things of mine … fruit and wine
and no, it is also not looking at my wife who is toiling on the terrace that has not been cleaned for 3(?) years… Ooo, and that one photo is as if I am having a lucid moment with a lamp on my head… but it is signs of old age,and the first time I see it 
the last photo and it does look like I’m sitting with a broom or shovel in my hand 
But what i almost like the most is In the spring around the 20 degrees, no wind and then in the sun with my guitar, watching everything that starts to sprout… and my wife arround me in the garden doing what she like the most … working with plants or looking at them…
And recently I have been going for a walk to a nearby park every now and then, although it is a bit busy there, but the geese and ducks are great there, and this is apparently also normal there, and now no jokes about fairground shooting please. 
Happy spring in this hemisphere and I hope everyone can enjoy it in their own way on good and bad days …
and here there are clearly conflicting enjoy / interests when it comes to enjoyment … luckily our cat is not that fast
