Beautyful!

Thank you very much Lights

Look at choo making electric music and all. Sounding good, Billy.
John

I know John, all plugged in and everything.. thanks man.

Not exactly the easiest lesson to go electric on, but I thought you did very well. Good playing of a great lesson, and a nice start in the electric world of guitar. I look forward to your next one.
Few can play as well as Brian note for note. Fortunately we don’t need to in order to sound good.
Nice job Billy.

Thanks Richard

Billy M .. you are a guitarist!!! Congratulations.
Martyn

Martyn, that is high praise right enough. I am following in the footsteps of all of you..

Billy What a great start I am sure you are pleased well done. John Strat

John, its all grin factor 10 here. I am glad you guys liked it..

Billy M,

That was a great start! You deserve a wee dram of Scotch for that! (Maybe more than a wee dram……)

Tim

“Slanji Va Tim”

And proud you be. That was excellent Billy!

Thank you. I am still buzzing…hahaha

Billy,
That was gorgeous! I really enjoyed it so much. You have such a soulful and classy way of playing!
Cheers, Debra

Wow, thank you very much Debra. with you calling my playing “soulful and classy” and Martyn calling me a “Guitarist”, it is looking like I will be needing to buy myself a bigger hat..hahahaha

Billy

Billy,
Nice playing and a very nice recording too!

Thanks Chuck, I just tried for an even level of backing track to my guitars level..

Billy

Do you play with the thumb of your fretting hand wrapped around the neck? For me pull offs and hammer ons are easier to do if I use just the very tips of my fingers and have my thumb on the back of the neck. Everybody’s mileage varies on this.

I try not to try and wrap my thumb around the neck, small hands are what I have.. It was a difficult pull off. I had to pull off to a held note and then hammer on the 5th fret. I think i covered it well by just doing a slide and a quick hammer on..

Billy

That was just played wonderfully. The Sound and the Timing is great. Something to Enjoy!

Wilfried

Thank you Wilfried, I had hoped you guys and girls would enjoy this, I just wasnt expecting all these compliments on my playing, looks like my first foray in to the world of electric guitars in quite successful.

Billy

Well now, that wasn’t so bad! I think it will not be long before you will be needing the services of a manager..

great job man!

Thanks Blu, I think I am going to stick with electric for next months challenge or personal challenge, I am kinda getting over my fears of plugging stuff in to make sounds… hahahah

Billy

Very cool, Billy. Nice work!

Thanks Brian.

I really like it! Good job

Great job Billy! You should be proud as you are really making strides in your playing! Keep up the good work bud!

Thank you very much Gentlemen, After work today and I will look at my next personal challenge lesson..

How would you describe playing electric over playing acoustic?

btw, that electric grin never goes completely away

Going electric in itself was quite a daunting task. With acoustic you know what you are getting as soon as you strum the stings, Electric you need to dabble with amps and pedals and all manner of things..
Now having said that, It wasnt as daunting a task to find a sound I liked with a slight tweak of the amp settings..
Electric strings are easier to knock out of tune with finger pressure than acoustic strings are and I understand now why the Luthier in the guitar shop the other week said to me. no manufacturer builds a guitar with perfect tuning…
I have been playing my lAg acoustic tonight and the neck feels big and bulky in my hand compared to my wee strat type guitar, and now all I want to do is play slow blues on an electric..
Billy
