Been playing some every day this past week! Never did go get my video lights out of storage (my new guitar room is an interior room, so no vids without my lights!). Is anybody else (besides Jack) actually playing at all? I'm needing some inspiration to get back into playing more regularly (and just more, in general)...

I'm still strumming a chord or two Bruce  I had a kinda sorta okay week, started working on "Women in Love" by Van Halen. It has that cool tapping intro where you fret chords with your left hand, then sound harmonics by tapping 12 frets above. I've found I need to tap good and hard, be very accurate with hitting the fret, and then get my finger off the string instantly. Oh and do that all really fast of course lol. After that there's quite a pretty arpeggio part, then it goes into the main part of the song. The solo is a bunch of fast trills. Hope you guys are doing well! Bruce get those lights out of storage |

I've been practicing regularly. However, it's the same thing I've been talking about for the past few weeks. I don't want to keep posting the same thing every week. What I really should do is post a private video where I show you what I've been working on. I'll do that as soon as Bruce gets his lights out of storage.  |

I also practice regularly still. Started working on "all of me", and refreshing things from "Jazzin' the Blues". There is a lot of great stuff in there, which I've forgotten, and it's becoming important again with band-practice.

Sorry guys, Sunday was my travel day. I'm happily ensconced in my hideout with one guitar, my little THR 10C, an extra set of strings, and 6 guitar picks. No books, which in truth was accidental, meant to bring one, but I'll have to rely on my ears for anything new. I like the stripped down setup--about all I can do is play.
Internet here tends to be intermittent, but I'm hoping I can at least make a weekly check in.
