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:

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:

Hi Brian @brianlarsen ,

I have just listened 10+ times with good sound on and it is probably a little quieter and the ā€œattackā€ is a little more present and seems or is a fraction longer, but I see and hear nothing at all from a completeā€¦someone else who also hears what Brian (at age :roll_eyes: :innocent: :joy:) hears over normal speakersā€¦

(Yesterday I told my wife that the straight ear is not quite right and that it needs a hard jet of water ā€¦)

Before I post my post, I listened a few more timesā€¦I think the bass is also somewhat obscured by the somewhat hard high stringā€¦anyone?

O Before I completely forget itā€¦ Thank you :smiley: :sunglasses: and nice that you came to listen and made me listen so critically and I hope that next time I will not make any more audible deviations :joy: ā€¦ Oh oh, it made me laugh again :smile:

Greetings and have a nice time In Dublin :smiley:

:sunglasses: Rogierā€¦that was very well played and I think it sounds even cooler on the electric guitar! You seem way more relaxed than what I pretended to be when I recorded it, and that last chord sounds very sweet the way you make it fall. I must confess I had to swear a bit at it :speak_no_evil:

Nowā€¦The Steady Thumb Blues! Those notes are running too fast one after the other for my poor slow neurons :joy: But Iā€™m getting there and the good news is that this Primer is really a good preparation for itā€¦so after the fast passages you finally get to a few bars that you can already can play :sweat_smile:

And me as well for you! :blush::blush::blush:

Good morning Silvia ,

Iā€™m just guessing that for us who play electric, the acoustic will sound a little nicer and vice versa. :smile:
This is of course not my first and has been on a regular/more serieuse basis since Justin the
Lick in Riff
launched I wonā€™t record until I have played along with Justin in a relaxed manner many times away from the computer screen ( I can practice this easy times 20 or 30 minutes a day when I really want : need" to learn)ā€¦

And I will start with those Steady Thumb Blues on Mondayā€¦ I think or maybe a peek in a moment ā€¦why am I typing this long ā€¦I want it now :roll_eyes: , but I have already listened to it a few times and this morning I woke up with a large part in my head in terms of melody ā€¦

Some Italian words now pops into my head that I learned at a very young age :laughing:ā€¦I would never use that :innocent:ā€¦ :roll_eyes:

So you skip the Boom Boom Bass ?because you are now continuing with the most difficult oneā€¦ so am I strating in a moment because of this

the housework will just have to wait :shushing_face:

Thank you very much :smiley: :sunny:

Sounded like a very bluesy version of the Beatlesā€™, Canā€™t Buy Me Love. Very nice, calmed me and relaxed me. However, I wanted to sit back and lite a cigarette and itā€™s been years, so that part, not so much, but my bad on that. (I did not and wonā€™t again) Cheers!

Hi Jim @jvlynch

Thank you very much for listening and helping me remember how happy I am that I have gotten rid of that horrible habit/addicion for more than 5 years nowā€¦ very occasionally I think about it for a moment, but within 10 seconds I go from Ooo that was nice to Ooo I am so glad that I donā€™t do it anymoreā€¦ :sweat_smile: :partying_face:

Nice that it relaxed you :smiley: :sunglasses:

Happy Sunday Rogier :blush:

The Boom Bass seemed actually more difficult to me :thinking: Iā€™ll check it again, but after learning the 2 Steady Thumb it probably wonā€™t seem that difficult anymore :sweat_smile:

When we wake up in the morning our brain is fresh and restoredā€¦such a pity to waste such golden energy for chores! :innocent: You can do the chores later on in between the guitar sessionsā€¦very long sessions are not good, often I do the housework as breaks :shushing_face:

When this happens to me I consider myself halfway there! already, the technical aspect here doesnā€™t seem too difficult, certainly itā€™s not if you can play the Primer.

Hi Silvia @Silvia80
O O it is monday now :blush:
It remains surprising how something comes so much easier for one person than for another and/or that after one thing everything else suddenly becomes so much easier.
I donā€™t remember how long ago, but Iā€™m guessing a little over 2 years ago I stopped taking these blues lessons that I bought from Justin. 10 songs for only 1 tennerā€¦ I learned 2 and at the steady tumb I gave up and put it on the ā€˜to doā€™ listā€¦just played my first Steady Thumb Blues without looking at the tabs and that after three daysā€¦ That means for me that I can now start playing with feeling ( Still, it can still take a long time, there is a fingerknot in it for me ā€¦ or 3 :smile:)

:laughing: ā€¦Hail to Silvia :raised_hands: :joy:

You are absolutely right about the technical aspectā€¦ but as I indicated above, 3 times ā€¦ now that I look more closely, there are two for me ā€¦ one is what Justin indicates, B7 ā€¦ but what is it? niceā€¦ nice to do well today at least at a slower pace 4 times in a rowā€¦

Thank you for letting me think better/closer :sunglasses:

Greetings
