Steady Thumb Primer šŸ˜Ž

Hello Listeners, :smiley:

I know that this is my fastest learned piece of music by miles, all of course in line with previously learned pieces that makes this possible. :sunglasses:

I am very satisfied with the process, and if the cat had not made a couple of noises this morning this had been a one take. (up to the first 3 times and then I took a long break )

This is something I started the day with the past few days because it doesnā€™t require any physical warm-up for me, so so happy now . :smiley:

You could still nitpick (or something with an :ant: ) about the final chord, or that this really sound even better on my acoustic (will happen laterr) but Iā€™m not going to do that today ā€¦ :upside_down_face:

Greetings, and I hope you like this ,

Youā€™re in the groove Rogier - the little slivers of a smile you slipped in there show it.

Well done, Rogier. I wish I could play fingerstyle like this - I was never motivated enough to learn it.
The sound of your guitar is beautifulā€¦

Greetings,
Jacek.

Hi Michael @mfeeney0110
Thank you and for noticing the smiles :smile:ā€¦ befor I start and some in between I was thinking at last song and to how I wrote that when I looked into the camera I thought of Mari , and now I also thought of Richardā€™s C. comment and now had to be careful not to started laughing to much :upside_down_face:ā€¦but I felt super relaxed tooā€¦

Thank you Jacek @JackPK for listening and comment ,and If you still find the motivation, it will probably go quickly with all your experience :sunglasses:

Thank you very much Mick @micknew for listening and comment ,

Greetings,Rogier :sunflower:

Hello Rogier! :sunglasses:

This makes me wonder, should I give it a go as well already?

Ah, ok, then I rather keep on practicing the basics rather :smile:

On a serious note, such a nice and bluesy tune, well played Rogier. Your smile at the end said it all!

Nicely played, Rogier!!!

Completing a piece like that really makes one have a happy day, eh? You look very pleased & you definitely should!!! Good job with timing & dynamics that convey very Uplifting Blues - waitā€¦ is that even a ā€œThingā€?
Uplifting Blues?
Sounds like Jumbo Shrimp or Silent Scream or Icy Hot or even Good Grief!!!
Regardless, that was some tasty Uplifting Blues to me!!! :grin::+1:t2:
Good post!!!

Hi Franz @franzek :joy:

Thank you very much also for the smile and ā€¦ yes always try at least one barr you never know if it is the thing that is made for you (there is a grade 3 stuff song that I have been practicing regularly for about 5 months over the past year and it doesnā€™t work without major errors) ā€¦and as I tap I see that this falls under grade 4 so the lick in riff grade 3 are definitely worth a tryā€¦it wonā€™t destroy your guitarā€¦at most a little bit of your ego :grin: ā€¦

O wait ,you say "on a serious note " :roll_eyes:

Thanks :grin:

Hi Mathieu @math07
Thank you very much that is nice to read :smiley: :sunglasses:

Hi Tod @CATMAN62
Thank you very much and nice to read and also this

:smiley: I understand what you mean of course, but just like Justin, I am/become always happy when I play the blues, I never think about misery when I play and I am really in a happy placeā€¦although that is not in all my videos to see :upside_down_face: :smile: and certainly rarely in take 1 :grimacing:ā€¦ then I think when I look back ā€œwell, letā€™s pull the corners of my mouth up a bit at the beginningā€ and then it sometimes goes so far that I sometimes start laughing too hard after a while.

Thanks and glad you took that it was uplifting like it supose too :smiley: :sunglasses:

Greetings all and from here a good night :smiley: :sunflower:

A very worthy performance, Rogier. Loved seeing you so engaged with the music.

Haha, that made me smile once again laugh out loud now :smiley:
I may first start with the 12 bar blues for beginners nevertheless. But, seeing you play, itā€™s cool to see whatā€™s possible when following the course!

Very cool Rogier! :sunglasses: Great groove! :clap:
Sounds amazing on the electric too. (Iā€™m going to try it on my electric as well :smiley: )
And yes! Loved your smiles :smiling_face: :sunflower:

Iā€™m definitely no Blues expert but I thought that the point of playing the Blues was to feel better when youā€™re ā€˜blueā€™, so I think Uplifting Blues can be a thing :smiley:
It seems to work that way anyway :grin: :woman_shrugging:

Groovy and super chill, one of my favourite combinations. Really enjoyed it! You looked so relaxed, too, just stress-free good vibes.

Cheers for sharing!

Hi John @Willsie
Thank you and super nice to read :sunglasses:

Hi Franz @franzek
:joy:

Starting with this style from the beginning has already brought me a lotā€¦in any case, it has provided a nice basis for playing a small tune for strangers in a living room if the acoustic that is there is not too large and poorly adjusted ( If all goes well, let us know in early December in such a situation) ā€¦have fun learning this :sunglasses:

Hi Jasmine @Avalon426
Thank you very much and very nice words :smiley: :blush:
Certainly some advantages on the electric compared to an acoustic ā€¦ sometimes there is a pickup in the way or something, but Iā€™m used to it ā€¦ but the acoustasonic will also be played with blues again in the foreseeable futureā€¦ :crossed_fingers:

Hi Constance @ConstanceClaire

And one of my favourite words to hear :grin: ā€¦
Thank you and nice it lookes like it feels also in me when playing,

Thank you all and see you later in the :movie_camera: :clapper: :guitar:

Well done Roger, I get busy with the community and I donā€™t get much of a chance to just come back to the nitty gritty part of the community, but when I do it is always great to hear somebody like yourself playing like that, after next month I am back here I miss it cheers Hec

Very cool Rogier and very smoothly played too. Great to see/hear you so engaged with the song. Well done.
I keep promising myself to try to learn this piece and the lick ā€˜nā€™ riff and the other pieces in the same vein but never get round to it. :slightly_frowning_face:

That was a little treat, Rogier! :smiley:

So smooth and bluesy, great groove and man, that thumb was steady! :smiley: All the things you learned in the past months of blues immersion seem to pay off so nicely now. Iā€™m really happy for you that you nailed this one in record time. :slight_smile:

Keep them coming! :sunglasses:

I can still remember that you were also working on that Lick In Riff ā€¦ if you really want it, just 1 barr a day and it will work ā€¦ I would like to sing what you do ā€¦I start ā€¦ tomorrow :roll_eyes:

Hi Lisa @Lisa_S
Thank you and Itā€™s great that youā€™re still hanging around here despite such a changed situationā€¦ really great :sunglasses:

This all started with the first free lessons and really gained a foothold with the Grade 3 Lick 'n Riff lessonsā€¦ :sunglasses: ā€¦ Blim helps me more with solosā€¦itā€™s about time I do something with that, Iā€™ve been dry for a few weeks now ssssst :shushing_face:

Starting In 2 weeks I think with the last of those 3ā€¦but that will be a different cookie I hear today :sweat_smile:

Thank you all ,I really like you :smiley: :sunglasses:
