Hello there folks.

Been kind of busy, just wanted to pop in and confirm that I still exist.

Still need to start on some of Mark's lessons. The limited guitar time I have had the past few days I have used to look up some tabs and rock out to a couple of Muse songs.

mornin Mark!

proud of myself...learning how to fingerpick

of course i chose Jeff Beck's "People Get Ready" as the vehicle of my fingerpicking education, so its slow-going, but...
 
its a beautiful song, but fingerpicking the chord progression is kicking my ass

i'm doing it faithful to the tabbed version in this months Guitar World
 
Zemmy, saw that you called, I will try and remember to call you after class tonight:rolleyes:

Heeeellllllloooooooooooooooooooooo!

You and me both. But challenging yourself and recognizing your deficiencies are just part of the improvement process...

Hey, Y'ALL! wave0

Zemmy, that's one o' my all-time faves, and almost everytime I pick up the guitar, I find myself playing the melody/lead lines for no good reason.

That's the style I've emulated for a few years now...still not really good at it, but I use the side of my thumb (not the fingernail) and can come close to that soft attack.
 
theres always a good reason to play it...it's a great piece of music!

and with my american strat thru my traynor ycv20....it takes me to my happy place:grin:
