10June2023 - Celebration!! I finally finished module 17 of Grade 3, that I started on April 5. Of course, I’ve included other guitar activities during that time, such as starting acoustic blues and 16 note strumming, although I haven’t done much on that yet. I have been trying to record once a month, so have had posted 2 recordings during this time:
California Dreamin’ intro and solo transcription
California Dreamin intro and transcribed solo - SteveL
Venus by Shocking Blue on electric guitar.
Venus by Shocking Blue - SteveL - 29May2023
I’ll start Module 18 on Monday, June 12 and can focus more on playing blues guitar.
I have learned from my recordings of playing and singing on the acoustic guitar and recording playing on the electric that while I might be a grade 3+ on the acoustic, I am just a grade 2+ on the electric guitar. I’ve also learned that while I enjoy playing riffs on the electric guitar, members of the community are going to enjoy listening to my playing much more if I use a backing track, especially if I don’t sing.
