        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.

              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 👍

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

                        Go slow and practice correct technique, and your abilities will dramatically improve.

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

                                    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.

                                        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.
