Withers away.
I like the brain teasing bas line way! LOL!
I always get nervous when I record myself! Tony has good advice about recording. Don’t record, delete, record delete, record delete. It’s true! It will send you down a crazy rabbit hole! LOL!
So, here we are, first take, mistakes and all. Not really mistakes, I like to call them learning experiences! LOL!!

Hey, that sounds pretty good. 🙂
Isn’t it a bit crammed quarters doing it in a truck?? I would be afraid of denting my guitar if I tried something like that too. (I drive a school bus ;-D )

@Syria Thank You!
The Guitar I use when on the road is a Taylor GS Mini. Not to cramped. I do bang it up a little. Mainlly when I’m moving around to get in the seat. Don’t bother me, these Guitars are prety tough. If I do get a nick that just adds character LOL.

First attempt here. Fingers don’t want to move correctly lol. Any suggestions? Enjoying myself. Hello to anyone seeing this.

Your fingers will start to loosen up throughout time. I had the same issue last year. Especially now when I’m learning new chords.
Here’s what I try to do as much as possible.
* finger, hands, forearms exercise and stretch. Tony has a video about this.
* On Wednesdays, when you’re working on scales try to keep them puppy’s separated while playing scales.
* Even though it’s tough try to use your pinky more often. There’s several pinky challenges here on TAC don’t skip them! It took me forever to separate my two love birds. LOL! Ring and pinky. I think there’s a video also for finger stretching.
* Last and most important, trust the process, if you work on it every challenge it will happen in time. January was year 2 for me, my fingers are getting better but I continue to work on them every challenge especially my dinky pinky.
P.S.
If your also talking about being able to form chords properly. Tony has a speed drill on video about this.
1. Place fretting hand on lap.
2. Count backwards from 5,4,3,2,1
3. On 5 raise fret hand to form chord. On 1 strum down once then single picking EADGBE to check for a clean chord.
Good luck!
GUITAR GEEKS UNITE!

Nice job. I have to get my stuff together and record myself. Seeing you cramped up in a truck with your guitar and doing a good job makes any excuse I can have seem pointless. I’ve never played guitar in front of anyone so it would be an ice breaker also. And something to look back on later.

@Guitlesson LOL! You get used to playing guitar in a drivers seat after a while, plus it’s worth it. I don’t like going without playing a day. I travel with a Taylor GS mini so it’s not too bad. Even if you don’t post your video, I would highly recommend you to record your progress. Then you can go back and see your progress and see what needs to be worked on.
