The practice video thread 🎶 - New vid added 11/8/23 - Gold Rush - Guitar

Haha I was thinking something like that, is why I just called it a “background” instead of calling it “your decorations.”
Looks cool!
@Severin has something similar on his, but it’s animations which are also cool!

Question: When should Christmas lessons begin on the site?

That’s hilarious… I was going to suggest starting earlier than some years, but didn’t want to sound bossy. Thanks for giving an anonymous poll so I could suggest it without sounding all bossy. Get on it!!!

[Mark_Rocka]

If we start now, I might be able to learn it by next Christmas.

[BanjoBen]

Ok, great! The people have spoken! By the way, don’t forget I have dozens of Christmas lessons already on the site. I’m doing a couple weeks of Fireball Mail then will jump on Christmas.

[Severin]

Thanks y’all!! better to early than to late, to learn christmas songs…

[JohnM]

@Severin, nicely done!

I also think it is about time!

Reminded me of my silent night practice 3 year ago… I don’t know if I’m better off or worse now.

@JohnM
I liked it back in '19, & still do! Nice job there, thx for adding to the thread!!

[Severin]

Thank you @JohnM! I like your guitar playing too! Great Job!

[JohnM]

Thanks Simone! I have definitely improved on flat picking but not so much on fingerstyle as I had not attempted many.

And thanks too Severin!

[Lucy_L]

My latest practice:

[Simone]

@Lucy_L
That is excellent picking. The tone is awesome! When I grow up I wanna pick like that ! Seriously though I really enjoyed it , thanks for posting (and fixing the title!!)
Just curious, was that recorded directly on a phone, if not, what did you use?
Hopeful to see more of your work sometime soon!

[JohnnyD]

Nice Picking Lucy!

[Dave_Long]

I’ll second Simone on the tone you’re getting. Sounds like you’ve found the sweet spot!

[Archie]

@Lucy_L

[Mason_Crone]

Others have already said this, but I’ll say it too… Fantastic tone!

[Severin]

Wow, that sounds amazing! What a great picking!

[Lucy_L]

Thank you! I just used my iPhone to record, nothing super fancy

[Lucy_L]

Thank you @JohnnyD, @Fiddle_wood, @Archie, @Mason_Crone & @Severin!

I’ve been working on Little Georgia Rose - melody & backup
(especially trying to grow beyond the vamp)

So here’s my latest practice video.

[Archie]

Great job @JohnnyD I love that tune. Always been meaning to learn it.

I have the same problems trying to insert fancy backup - I find when I have to think about it I get lost - I TABbed out a few fancy backup licks into a couple of guitar / mandolin solo TEF files, just to practice filling the holes, it seem to help a little as I wasn’t pausing as much to THINK what I was going to play. Many Many repeats till I found the auto pilot. Still a work in progress.
