This month I’m working on a few songs. My latest performance was Blink 182’s One More Time. Also working on Bed Of Roses from Bon Jovi with triplets. I’ll get that one recorded soon and hope to play these at the open mic 4/25.
Didn’t post this one to you tube so my coworkers didn’t see I took a break to play music while I was supposed to be working. This was filmed at the visitor clubhouse at the stadium and I um borrowed the $4000 Taylor guitar for 5 minutes because she told me to play her. TikTok - Make Your Day
Trying out the new pick that fits like a ring.

Make sure you don’t get in trouble, Blink 182 is hardly “punk” to be so rebellious
When I’m passed my regular "ah yes the Toto Wolff of the Justin Guitar Community,
It often strikes me you have an odd way to use your strumming hand.
It might affect the tightness of your strumming.
Check out some of the specfic stings this chap is showing;:
See hown “together” is hand isn aiming at accuracy?
Thanks Lieven. I have arthritis in my hand so I can’t hold a pick too long. They had some taped on the wall there, but thought I better leave them alone. I bought a box of those picks you wear on your thumb like a ring but still feels odd other than all downstrums. You probably noticed the buzz when I play b minor so definitely need to work on the b minor to sound smoother.
Ok that’s a tough challenge! Keep pushing thiough bro.
You are by result a bit inconsistent in the attack angle and strength.
about the picks, have you tried attaching them to other fingers than your thumb?
Don’t worry about that Bm too much; playing them in the flow of a song and knowing/hearing when it needs work is already more than half of the work. Keep practicing it in songs while minding the timing and it will turn out just fine!
Yes, I did try my first finger. Maybe the set I bought was too thick or I need to relax my strumming some. It is working well as I practice bed of roses with triplet downstrums just not the upstrums as of yet. It’s only been a week so I’ll give it time.
