EP632

[Ben C]

Hi everyone,

Hope you’re all doing well!

I’m sharing my attempt at EP632 today. Somehow I managed to learn this piece a lot quicker than the other lessons I’ve tried, but I lost count of how many attempts this took to record. Either way though, I’m quite happy with the end result.

This is using my new Seagull Mini Jumbo Performer. Such a great guitar, and the first acoustic I’ve played that felt perfect

Thank you for taking the time to watch/listen

Nicely played Ben. Sweet sounding guitar too.

Thanks Joe

[Andy N]

Very well played Ben. If it took many takes, it didn’t show it in the one matters. Played with a fluid style and a sweet tone. Who could want for more 👍

[Ben C]

Many thanks Andy. Appreciate it

[San Luis Rey]

Thanks very much

That’s awesome playing Ben and that new Seagull is sounding so sweet. Well played with great touch and feel.

Root note patterns >>> CAGED shapes >>> TRIAD'S. Just put in the work and watch your guitar skills soar.

Many thanks Michael!

Thanks very much Larry. Appreciate your comment

You are very good Ben and this is beautifully played. As for recording, sometimes I find i get worse on subsequent takes 😝.

[Ben C]

Thanks very much Geoff. Very kind of you to say.

I took your advice and sat properly for a change and I’m also setting up a more dedicated area for playing and recording 🙂

And yes that’s exactly what happened. I had to give up one evening and try again the next day haha

Sounded beautiful, Ben, and your new guitar has an awesome warm tone.

Thanks John!

Excellent take on the lesson Ben , sweet tones from your acoustic.
Don’t worry the multiple takes is normal we’ve all been there with the red light syndrome it does get better though.

A very late comment 😅! I’m currently learning this lesson and I’m watching the other forum members’ renditions .

Flawlessly played, Ben: timing, expression, phrasing were all excellent, a pro level rendition. And your Seagull sounds great!

[Ben C]

Thanks very much for your comment. Appreciate it!

[Alan L]

This lesson is trending! 😂 yours sounds fantastic. I had to take a crack at this one, it’s a joy to play 🙂 still have the seagull? My one and only acoustic is a seagull s6, love it!

[Ben C]

Thanks for checking it out! And yeah I still have it. It’s a lovely guitar although I rarely play it sadly. I don’t think I’ve learnt an acoustic piece since I uploaded this piece

[Alan L]

Haha sounds a little like my situation too. I played acoustic only for about 10 years, but since I’ve picked up electric that’s my main focus since.

[Ben C]

Yeah acoustic pieces don’t really excite me anymore. Finger picking is still on my to do list but I just love blues licks too much
