Cheers Brian, I think if I could find a way of slowing down the backing track in GarageBand it would be helpful otherwise I may have to invest in guitar pro. Trying to balance the volume of the backing track and guitar is quite difficult, I guess more patience is required. lol Have a fabulous weekend. and peace out 
A bit of blues in Aminor. trying to use two octaves for the first time.
it gets a bit better after the first minute lol (a bit)

Well played on both electric and acoustic. Never heard ‘Bonecrusher’ before: you kept my attention with an energetic performance that demonstrated your belief in the piece. Your singing is not bad either: if you projected your voice just a little more your singing would be better still. Enjoyed both pieces.

Thank you Brian, you are correct, I do not have any confidence in my singing and that is part of the problem. As you say if I project more and show more confidence I think it would be better. Thank you for your feedback
Hi Gary,
I’v found you LL today, and it is interesting to see how much you’ve learned, and that you have some of the same problems I’m having now, too. I really like your improvisation, it sounds very cool to me 
. I think I might try it a bit more now, too, and find a backing track for it as well, because it looks like a lot of fun.
I totally get you about the singing; I’m no singer, and although I can keep a melody if someone else is taking the lead, when I’m alone with my guitar, it sounds off more than it doesn’t. I think you have the advantge here, since I don’t think you sound off, only a bit unsure. I know it takes courage to post it anyway, and I like that you do it. Makes me want to post another recording as well, because it can only get better, right?

Thank you Sevi1, you have hit the nail on the head, I am unsure.
As for the improvisation, there are loads of backing tracks to play to on YouTube. and it is a lot of fun that teaches you a lot as well, you very quickly start using intervals and octaves etc.
Have fun and Happy strumming. Peace.

Trying to play without looking at the fretboard or strumming pattern is a lot harder than it seems. It does get better towards the end but man, after months of looking it actually really difficult
