EP382

[William MG]

Hi all,

Since joining the fun here at AM I have enjoyed watching the play alongs posted by other members and as I want to be a contributing member, here is my 1st recording for the site. I started the lesson on Oct 12 and today felt I could play along without the notation.

Thanks to Brian for his tremendous work. I can’t imagine how he manages to come up with new material week after week.

A little about myself: I started learning last January at 55 and now that I am close to 58 I can honestly say I have enjoyed every day playing guitar and I do play every day.

All the best to all with your studies and enjoyment of guitar.

William,
Congratulations on your first showcase, it sounded really nice. You seem to have some fine guitars there, what make is the hollowbody you’re playing?

William,
Wow, Oct 12 to now – pretty quick! Sounds great and if I had more room I’d want that guitar too.

Congrats!

Thank you Don

[Guido]

Very nice first showcase! Very well and accurately played. I think yours it’s a good method: at the beginning to play at slow tempo and accurately, and then try to speed it up gradually.

Guido

[William MG]

Thanks Guido but you are giving me too much credit. That tempo was not exactly planned. Oh well, more practice will help sort the bumps.

Thanks again.

Well done William – first post? Very cool; Congratulation. Stay tuned.

Play guitar just like you live; don't get bogged down in theory, it's just a tool without feeling.

Thanks Wilfred.
