The Steady Thumb Blues

Hi Community :grinning: :wave::hugs:
After the Primer it would have been such a pity not to give this one a try…so here it is after a month of practice…nevermind the notes that are missing or those that have been …uhm… “replaced” :see_no_evil::joy:

This is the best I can do and, in all honesty, playing it is sooo challenging that it didn’t even cross my mind to go along with MatchMySound or with Justin’s playing…it’s already a lot that I can kind of go along with myself, lol :see_no_evil:

Hi Silvia,
This time the thumb is a little less steady :grin:, but I still really enjoyed listening to it and it’s good that you posted this now :sunglasses: :clap: :clap:, after our conversation I would also be very disappointed if you had posted a flawless performance and would say to me … "oh apparently Iplay it perfectly always " :grin:… he is now in the background playing again and the notes that are missing are most often captured because the rhythm continues …so be happy ( you are :blush:):sunglasses: :clap: :bouquet:

Today I watched 5 and a half hours of videos with Justin, the last unit almost in one session :upside_down_face:…you are a nice change :sweat_smile:, I’ve seen enough of him today

Completely exhausted, you made me smile again, thank you and enjoy the praise :sunglasses:

Greetings :sunny:

Wow Rogier. That’s dedication!
Now then Sylvia, that was really good. I’ve actually just today started a TrueFire acoustic blues course that my son bought me as an early Christmas present. I’m only on lesson one and I’m having a difficult time isolating my thumb and keeping the beat so I’m very impressed by your performance.

Ha ha, yes Gordon ,thanks… that is also a nice way to say it that way :rofl: (we are encouraged to view all released lessons as soon as possible) and then take it easy again in the coming weeks/months/years… :sweat_smile:

Bravo Sylvia! A little sloppier than the first one you put out, but more colorful and lively.

Sounding great Silvia. I don’t know much about the blues as it isn’t my thing so can’t really offer any advice but my ears enjoyed that very much!

Did you dream him last night? :joy: But big thumbs up for your dedication :+1::+1:

Yes …I always am, unless something sounds really really bad, in which case I wouldn’t post it :grin:

I’m pretty sure that with some practice you’re gonna nail it. Thanks for your feedback Gordon!

Thanks Mick! I don’t know which level you’re at, but make sure you have your fundamentals down before.

Thank you! :grin:

Ah Michael! My brain is sloppy :joy: But also colourfull and lively :wink:

Yes sure :rofl:

That’s what matters the most! Thank you very much Eddie for letting me know :blush:

Just take your time John and you’ll nail it! Thank you for listening and your feedback, much appreciated!

Why Why ??? why you ask :scream::grin: Yes, really I did, although that is not the first time I have dreamed about him :roll_eyes: … fortunately not a nightmare, but it was not at all fun either (something about car racing at the Nuremberg ring :see_no_evil: ) :joy:

And on with that Xmas song now :wave:

!!!Hijack Alert!!!

My favorite quote by Einstein:

“If you can’t explain it to a 5 year old, you don’t understand it yourself.”

Silvia, as a teacher who has small children in your class, I would think you understand this, no?

Back to the thread… nice playing (again!!!) on this exercise!!! I always enjoy the joy you bring to your playing!!! Bravo!!!
