        As usual I’m not able to tell if this is good or bad. I have such a hard time hearing my self sing it’s crazy.
        Anyways here’s something that should resemble the song Hotel California.

        - "Pretty Fingers Parker"

          Johan, that wasn’t too painful. Just kidding, sounded really good. From what I remember I think you’re making great progress in your singing. Sounds ready for the open mic!

              Johan,

              Playing and singing is a big step which you seem to be accomplishing with ease. Obviously the next big step is performing in front of a live audience as is said above by both Charjo and Billy and that dose not look to be far away to me either.
              Congratulations.

                Very groovy picking, singing is really o.k.

                  That was very enjoyable Johan. For me trying to both play and sing I feel like one or the other suffers. Very difficult to hear both parts while performing. As a listener this sounds great 👍

                    That was great Johan. I’m in awe of those who can simultaneously play and sing well – and you make it look effortless. Great guitar work by the way.

                      All around professional sounding and playing.

                      The melody of the notes is what expresses the art of music . 🙂 6stringerPete

                      It really is all about ”melody”. The melody comes from a language from our heart. Our heart is the muscle in music harmony. The melody is the sweetness that it pumps into our musical thoughts on the fretboard. 🙂 6 stringer Pete
