Silvia's Learning Log

I’m super late to this party Sylvia! Don’t know how I missed this one. Another beautiful piece from the Community ‘classical girl’.
Your finger strummed and sung piece was great too. Sexy Sadie needs some work (I’m sure you know that).
The kids were terrific. Loved the 1,2,3,4 bit. :grinning_face_with_big_eyes:

Thanks Steve, I much appreciate you listened and commented.
What’s good about Dreamer Songs is that I would listen like really many times in a row and since we have YouTube Pros’ performances to observe (their hands especially) we can re-think of our skills-level and decide if and how the piece would be doable for us.

Exactly I thought this while watching Rogier playing Canon in D…Rogier if you’re reading…I’ll learn that one too some day!

Thank you Gordon…you’re late because you were on holiday: you’re well justified!

I’m afraid it requires more than that…but I’m doing my best and, since I’m working it out by myself, whatever the result will be I’ll just try to just accept it as something that reflects my present overall competence and leave it open to all the improvements I might be able to add along the way. I should have been wiser in the choice of the tune :laughing:

Oh and they did so well at the party! We all did great! I’ll take sometime to tell you more about that in my next update!

Actually I’m still in France. I must have been en route when you posted your video.
As for Sexy Sadie needing work, I’ve set myself the challenge to have a go at Justin’s steady thumb blues whilst on holiday (and beyond!). That certainty needs a lot of work and I’m finding the independent thumb thing quite difficult. Fortunately because it uses fingers you can play very quietly so my campsite neighbours don’t have to listen. :woozy_face::joy:

Yes, didn’t you hear him sing in your head? :slight_smile: I love that style and would like to learn something like that too one day!
One day at the open mic maybe! Anyway I need to learn some more surprising stuff!

Silvia, what a wonderful video! I love all the parts!
I am always in awe when you play those classical pieces! Strumming is quite a bit easier and when I fingerpick, it’s almost always with some repeating bass pattern, so that’s easier too than the ever changing classic bass and treble parts…

Hi Dominique and thanks for your comment! I’m really happy you liked my recordings!
If you need some sheetmusic for italian (and more) songs I highly reccomend this site

On the Menu you’ll need to edit the title of the song or the artist in the bar where it says “Cerca una canzone o un artista”

As anything else on the guitar that requires just practice, on different levels, it takes sometime.

Thanks a lot for your reply, Silvia!

… but I’m so lazy, haha :blush:

Thank you for refering me to this site! I took a look!
And now I feel like I’ll have to post a Celentano song sometime soon! :slight_smile:

If I use it, it will just have to make me think a little longer because of those Do, Re, Mi… I remember that was the first way we learned notes, like at around age 9 or so, but later it was C, D, E… all the time. And the english “B” is a “H” here in Germany, while B exists too, but this is the english Bb … Never learned the history of why it is so…
