Super Bowl LVIII Weekend!!!Yes, I'll be staying up to watch the super bowl LIVE - 11pm to 4am here in the UK  Not a bad week. Been getting back into the swing of things. Managed to get that recording down with my dual mic setup (that's in another thread to make your ears bleed ) This week I'm easing back into it - some Blues Rhythms You Can Use and some Blues You Can Use to get some rhythm and lead work down. I'll just pickup from wherever I left off. Hope you've all had a good week and this week'll be a blessing to your playing. On with the grind...

I'm still working on "Going to California" by Led Zeppelin. Got the acoustic guitar part up to full tempo - to the point where if I did 100 takes I might get a good one. Before recording I like to get that down to 50 takes lol. I'm sure it's very rushed and needs lots more repetitions before it's anywhere near acceptable. For the mandolin part I've been wasting time trying to figure out if this tab or that tab is closer to the stuff I can't really even hear on the album. Sigh... One is so obviously wrong on some parts, but the other is so obviously wrong on other parts. Ah well, what else is new  Overall though I have to say I'm rather happy to have gotten the acoustic part up to speed, that's an accomplishment. Hope you guys are all doing well! |

Hope our American Super Bowl did not disappoint, WPB! I'm not that big of an NFL fan (nor a Taylor Swift fan), but we had a small gathering of friends over and watched it, too. Jack, looking forward to your spin on "Going To California" - what a great song! I played guitar for maybe 15 minutes yesterday, and today my wrist is sore again... grrrrr! I remain frustrated by this. Been playing some golf again now that we've had some nicer days - definitely more golf than guitar. I've joined a senior men's golf league with the intent of playing more frequently, and trying to get up to being an "average" player this year (maybe shooting in the 90's fairly consistently?). Anyway, I'll keep checking in periodically, but I think the guitar playing will remain somewhat limited.

I've managed to review the first 5 chapters of BYCU and BRYCU, feels good to go over the old stuff whilst hardening up my very soft and delicate fingertips . |

Well after a weekend calling police and no sleep to keep squatters out of the house next to mine got very little practice. So working on the last song for our 5 song set, Blues Beetles She got a Ticket to Ride, cleaning up my solos for Cocain and Jimmie Vaughns Midnight hour.
Been looking at new Pick ups for the strat kinda like the Fat 50’s, maybe build new pickguard with fat 50s and a blender mod circuit.
I am running zexcoils at the moment.
