Hi everyone,
After reviewing Justin’s lesson about having a handful of songs ready to play without a music sheet to be ready at a party, I soon realized I have none I can play from memory. So I left work early, went to the beach and used his knocking on heaven’s door example. The lesson here is you have to remember the lyrics, chord progressions, play in time, have a steady rhythm, and do all with distractions. You’ve got the sound of the ocean, kids yelling, people walking by watching, your wife smiling while filming, people sunbathing watching me that I’m not supposed to notice, etc. so the takeaway is you lose some quality if you don’t play among distractions. This is Mission Beach, about 15 minutes drive from the house. Let me know what you think. Thanks for listening.
