You can tell that you love the song and are making it your own.

I didn’t know Eric Clapton had a version. I just know Dorothy’s (Judy Garland’s) version. Thanks for a happy thought for the day. “My people come and go so quickly around here”.

Solid, steady blues progression. Great way to add some spice to your day. Good job.

I will hop on here and confirm all the positive feedback on the Fretboard Wizard. I did the original Fretboard Wizard some years back and have taken the newer Fretboard Wizard 2.0 a few times since for review. I get something new out of it each time I review it. It has opened my eyes and my enjoyment in playing to a new view of music appreciation. It has made less work of learning a song by reducing the memory process and replacing it with a logical understanding of what is going within the song. If you are serious about learning and appreciating the guitar (and it flows to other instruments) then Fretboard Wizard is a great value.

Great win and you are off to the races. Congrats.

Great start. Not just with the 30 Days Blues but with untangling the process of recording and uploading to you tube. Congratulations.

How are the cats liking your guitar journey? Do they show the ambivalence for which they are noted? Just showing up to play is a good win.

Thank you all for listening. And let me encourage you to make those quarterly goals.

Very good rendition. And your technique was excellent. Your voice reflects the mood of the song. I really enjoyed it, Thanks.

They are the same for everyone. What I have discovered over time though is the many layers you eventually find. As they occasion repeat, I find 1) I am better and they are more quickly refreshed and 2) I start to fuse the lessons with other ideas. For example (and @Bill_Brown and @jumpinjeff are very good at this) play the exercise at a different place in the neck (a different voicing) or on a single string or barre chord or chord shape. The lessans take the thought and planning out of what to do this week at a core level. Then I spend my time in enhancing the technique and completing my quarterly goals. Enjoy.

Thank you all for listening.

Congratulations. This understanding of what is happening on the fretboard will launch your guitar playing to a whole new level. And it makes playing so much more fun and versatile. FBW has been a great value for me. Enjoy having your eyes opened.

Yes, the techniques behind it have been covered at some point in the past. I recall the Tuesday lick was In the Old Mine and the Improvisation Wednesday lesson was called Skippin’ and a Jumpin” and the Rhythm was Transistor Radio but beyond that I’ll not be much help in finding it. You might be able to find it by going to my profile and under those I’ve listed as favorites you might find it. I have read others in the forum direct folks in that manner. Good luck and have fun.

Thanks.

Thank you. The video aspect is something new I am starting to play with. So far it hasn’t become work. I don’t do multiple takes when I record because I found out earlier that does suck the joy out of playing. Playing by definition has to be FUN.
