From now on I think I will zigzag through the others from the Solo Blues Study and pick out the best one (I still have 5 to choose from ).
I hesitated a lot between 7 video recordings… which mistake did I mind the least and in fact I always chose a perfect B7 because that is the most difficult part …but but but … in the final choice I went for something else … . a very small mistake and I hope that my smile here and there is enough not to … ooo who am I kidding, of course I am forgiven.
After a good conversation with a forum member this morning, I chose this one without hesitation because when I look into the camera I look directly at her here for more thn one time …
Three other videos had a missing or very soft thumb stroke exactly at the 15 second mark…I didn’t allow Brian @brianlarsen that pleasure … (Oh what fun I had yesterday, wanted to quote you and place a wiki post as a 2nd post for you so you could add comments ) … but my wife thought this one was a fraction better
Haven’t really played the guitar since December 20 due to a cold/flu? and many additional complaints in the joints, bones and certainly also due to the coughing… if you make me laugh hard, my back often hurts, you can guess… but since this week I have been playing again, so my mood is improving nicely and I’m almost back to my best…
happy with this end result and hopefully everyone thinks so too…if not, please let me know
That was really great Rogier. Your notes and timing sounded pretty spot on to me.
This has been a fascinating experience for me Rogier watching you make your way through all those thumb blues studies. Well done.
ps. I’m surprised you’ve got time to practise between watering all those house plants! The humidity levels must be perfect for your guitars.
How nice to have you ‘back in action’ Rogier, and I’m so glad you’re on the mend
I recall you mentioning you were under the weather but not to the extent that you were’nt playing
Well, this was an enjoyable watch/listen (OMG, autocorrect just suggested that I subsitute a smiley for ‘an enjoyable’ )
As you well know this genre is not my cup of meat, and you have my gratitude for keeping it short You are also aware that I do listen out for any ‘wobbles’ to use as ammunition for a witty tease. I’m afraid I didn’t even find the one you mention, so congratulations!
Nice to see you relaxed, smiling, engaged, although you might want to check the the slightly ‘high action’ on those eyebrows at 35 sec
Bravo!
Hi Gordon @sairfingers
Thank you very much …very nice to hear
and
well…Haha, you could say that, but that’s my wife’s job (for the sake of flooding)…but if you look closely just behind my left arm, you’ll see that she did a bad job this week…
at the moment 49% humidity ,it was bad for long but now the best in 2(?) months
Hi Paul @mathsjunky
Thank you for dropping by and the extra points
I was extremely disappointed that it only lasted just over a minute, I was hoping for a few more choruses from you, now I have to manually hit the replay button
You have done a great job learning these pieces to point you can play them so smoothly whilst raising your eyebrows to @brianlarsen just in time for the new course being released at the end of the month.
Very well done my friend. You should be very proud of your efforts.
That was Super Rogier! Thumb was steady and you nailed speed too, which was actually the most challenging aspect to me.
I’m sorry to hear you haven’t been well and hope you’re back on track soon! Greetings from damn cold Italy
Hi David @DavidP
Thank you very much that is nice to read
and James @Socio those blues arrangements are simply no longer … let’s dis Justin for that ( O wait …no, no longer ones because then I’ll spend days/weeks extra doing about the same things )
…I didn’t know that so quickly… although I expect that these are the updated lessons from the purchased blues studies that I already have, I will also buy the new one just for the support… and boy, does it look good looking young and hairy in those old videos
Thank you very much for your comments
Hi Byron @Bytron08 Thank you for dropping by and comment
Hi Silvia @Silvia80
Thank you very much and yes, I also worked hard at that speed for a while …I even manage to play at Justin’s speed when I play for my wife…on video an extra unwanted string pluck is too noticeable
Thank you and just looked at Italy and it is even colder than here …brrr and ofcourse the most helpful for some warmth …
Hi Hec @DeltaTyne
Thank you for your nice words and dropping by ,
Hi Jason @Ontime
Thank you very much and yes it is
At least, I could enjoy this one completely, before the little boy woke up again from his nap. But therefore, I have to shorten my comment a bit, just saying:
That sounded very good, especially given the fact you couldn’t play for a while ( sorry to hear that!). Hope you are doing much better now - take good care!
Hi Phil @twistor59
Thank you for dropping by and well…This is part of a course that I think I have had for almost 3 years
ha ha that Larsen guy is just nice and accepts that…cough…sometimes…cough…some blues is played by his friends and then responds nicely…
Although I must say that my girl really doesn’t like blues and can appreciate these very short songs… every now and then
Hey Brian …you here again …
Hi Boris @Boris1565
Thank you very much for dropping by , I really appreciate it…
Thanks …me too
Hi Jim @HappyCat
Thank you very much and nice noted
Ooo …I have seen/heard you do things, which means that it only takes a short time before you master them
.
Hi Lisa @Lisa_S and Vincent (although you act more as a disruptor in this story and maybe not simply woke up to listen better … )
Thank you for dropping by in this busy time for you
Things are going quite well here with very light remains and tomorrow after 4 weeks we will have dinner again at the good Italian Alberto’s in the village here.
all the best for you and I wish you lots of rest and sleep
Greetings all and thank you,
And a special thanks to the new people who came listening and let that know
