    I wanted to post this video for my 90 day goal and bench mark to come back to after the 90 days. Playing session 260.

    I’m still tweaking my video/audio set up. I’m using my Nikon Z-50 with an external mic, MOVO VXR10. Trying to get the right sound by miking my amp. This will take some time to find the right spot and right settings on video sound.

    That was fantastic @outdoorgator ! Your chord transitions were good, with slight hesitations while you found the Bb & F chords, but they will get easier with time. I still hesitate, but I’ve gotten faster and more accurate. I try to practice transitioning between the chord before the barre and then the barre. I start out real slow, making sure I don’t touch the strings until I can plant all my fingers at the same time, and then put them down on the strings and just hold the position for a bit to build muscle memory. Then I take my fingers off and start again back and forth between the chord before the barre chord over and over. If you try this, my suggestion is to set the metronome at a really slow speed to begin with like 20, 40 bpm. On every 4th beat transition to the other chord. This gives you plenty of time to get your fingers positioned over the strings and press down. As you can meet that time stamp, start to increase the speed slowly by 3-5 bpm and do it again. It won’t feel like it’s really speeding up that way, but you’ll be gradually getting faster with your transitions. Anyway, great job!

    Good job. I find recording is a whole other thing with its own learning curve.

      Yes Sir! I could easily eat up several weekends and not even get deep. LOL! 🤔
