Thank you Rogier, I’m really glad you find my updates some fun
Thank you so much Withold for your kind encouraging words, this thing was putting my patience at test but now I’m working on it with renewed energy and today I could make it progress nicely!
…just the past month Toby!
I’m so sorry to read about your struggles, they are about health issues in the family if I’m correct…it brings some tears to my eyes to know that my updates brought some joy to you.
Remember that picture with my dad I posted a while ago?..we really are the same, if the world falls down we just move a bit on the side…someone might think we’re selfish but the truth is that the world is not falling down, and if it were really what can I do with just a pair of weak arms? But then the people who feel they’re falling down, it seems like they read on our face that, no the world is not falling down after all and feel lifted up a bit…so…yes I’ll keep doing what I’m doing and find my little joys of the now and here, because the future is too scary to think about.
Now I’ve added the unnecessary
I was hypnotized by the movement of your fretting hand. It really looks like all your practice paid off — you’ve gained some serious finger independence.
That’s exactly what I tell myself when I see myself playing
Did you go to practice then?
It’s not actually about the quantity of time you put in, but more the quality of it and consistency; I try to find 1 hour a day - 5 days a week for practice/playing…those days break are really helpful to me, better than if I were practicing.
Ok now break is over, 10 focused minutes more with the metronome before I start working.
haha! But I have the same point of view as Michael, tons of respect for your renditions! When I fingerpick, most of it are repetitive patterns, so what you do seems quite a bit more difficult!
Thanks for the encouragment Domi, it’s much appreciated
Thanks Nicole
I worked out a couple of bars simple ending after the first chorus, because it’s proving to be more challenging than expected - it was a bit silly of me to start it at all, especially that I wasn’t able to feel the Rhythm and I was convinced it was in 12/8.
Edit: I will add that I probably should be humblier at this point learn ready made arrangements with lesson, it would save me a lot of trouble.
Silvia… Would you enjoy that, honestly? I think, how you are taking on things is a wonderful way to learn. Will everything always work fine and sound like you would really want it to sound? Maybe not. Yet: Do you enjoy what you are doing? And isn’t that what is most important?
thank you Mathieu!
