That was a great performance all round. Loving the walking basslines! 🤟😎🎸Just spent an enjoyable 10 minutes playing along with this one a couple of times!

Great to hear that. The fab thing is that today’s 40 bpm is next months 60! “You can’t play anything fast that you can’t play slow” is what they say.

Oooh, I like that! Might sneak that into a song. 🤘😎🎸

That was just wonderful, especially the double stops. I must catch up with this week’s challenges. I’ve been practicing songs for the VOM and missed this challenge. Youxve inspired me to give it a go. 🤟😎🎸

Well said Matt! I think the mindset that allows you to thoroughly enjoy the stage of the journey you are on at any given time, rather than feeling despondent that you’re not playing like your favourite guitar hero, is what permeates this forum. I hope that you get even further down the road this year and congrats on year 2.

Hey there – Thanks so much for those tips and tricks! I have always been great at backing vocals because I have more of a low vocal range and my voice is very flat (a great advantage for harmonising with a lead vocalist and not distracting from their performance!). But you are so right that the voice is every bit as much an instrument as the guitar. I have no ambitions vocally but there is certainly no harm in uppping my game in this department for those campfire moments in life. Cheers! Darren

Flat picking and barre chords for me – we all have a way to go along this journey for sure!

Lots of research out there that says playing music keeps those connections in your brain firing and it certainly helps emotionally with good mental health so I’m happy we’re getting all the music therapy we can!

Hmm… sounds interesting. Will take a look.

Despite being written over 10 years ago it had never been recorded for an album until the live recording with the Nu Deco Ensemble. This is the first version I heard, in fact the first song by Larkin Poe I heard.

Thanks so much. It is distressing for everyone as it robs you of the person you love. So great to find music that reflects what so many go through.

Thanks so much. I find strumming quite natural but as I already play the irish side drum, the bodhran, rhythm comes easy to me.

Hi there. What I did originally was just go to the Open Mic and watch. Not everyone plays and there is no pressure to. Now I actually love it. As you can tell I fumbled a couple of chord changes but no one minds if it isn’t perfect and the practice in front of a ‘home crowd’ is priceless. I’d thoroughly recommend going to one to see what it is all about.

Thanks. I’m actually great at backing vocals because but lead is never going to be my thing and I’m more interested in learning the guitar to be honest. D

Thanks. Acoustic Tuesday was a bit of a surprise too. 😯 Love the 90 day parties but that’s the first time I actually spoke to Tony during one.
