AM August Challenge response 2024

[Patrick F]

I learn my fingerpicking with the Key Master Brian. I took this challenge to explore a Big Classic from Fleetwood Mac. It is a riff? For sure it was a Big challenge for me! The lick at the end is not from me. It s from a other taecher: Paul Davids. He s not the top like Brian , but he is good to! It is a pleasure to be a part of this community!

Man you should get a medal of courage for this.
That is frigin tricky song to play.
I saw Paul doing it and thought, this one is not for me, lol

Nicely done Patrick. Clean playing and a nice bounce. Never hurts to learn those classic guitar parts!

Thats a two handed finger twister. Nicely done, Patrick. A+ for effort and the head slap.😊

Fancy finger picking, Patrick. That’s a real challenging piece and you got through it. Nice job.

You got it going on! Keep up the great work!

Nicely done Patrick – that looked extremely difficult but sounded good. The finger picking looked very intricate and sounded spot on. Played with a lovely tone.

[Manfred M]

I interpret your reaction and your laughter at the end like this, Patrick: yes, I really did it. Because you really did, and you did it pretty well. Well played with great tone! And that was not an easy one!

Take the chance to meet your AM friends on Zoom
The next Meetup will be May/June
There will be a detailed announcement here in the forum
I look forward to meet you.

This is a lovely piece Patrick. There is nothing easy about it. Lyndsey Buckingham was a genius on the guitar, You look like you had some fun with your submission. Great job!

I think you’d make Lindsey proud Patrick. That was instantly recognizable and something I wish I could come close to doing. Never Going Back Again. Great job.

Nice picking Patrick! That’s a tricky one to play I’m sure, Lindsay Buckingham is no joke (and to think he sings over this too!). Enjoyed your laughter at the end 🙂

[Dieter]

Great finger picking.

Well I really enjoyed that Patrick, it sounded rather tricky and way outside my comfort zone. Why the head slap at the end, it all sounded like very fine picking to me.

Hi Patrick, that was great! You played it really cleanly with clarity and pace… and that’s a TOUGH song to play. You should be proud. Great to have you in the challenge this month.

[JoLa]

You didn’t make it easy on yourself, did ya? 😉
Instantly recognizable, great choice and nice finger twisting …er I mean finger picking! I also like Paul D, he’s a great videographer and a player, but I learn better from Brian.

You picked a tricky one for sure , but practice makes perfect, you’re well on the way with this .
The head slap made me chuckle…. We’ve all been there !

[Tom D]

That was (anything but) easy Patrick! I appreciate your tasteful choice in song, and the balanced sound and steady tempo you achieved. Well done. Cheers, Tom
