Second times the charm..

Ah story of my life! And yes it is very familiar :)

Hey John! I hope you're well and you’re enjoying your guitars. I thought I’d post my latest work in progress here (as I only started looking at it again because of how excited you were to get an acoustic, and it really inspired me to pick mine up again). It’s a fingerstyle arrangement of Zombie, still have a bit to go to get it really smooth, but it’s one I’ve always wanted to play. I’ve put a link to the tab below, for you to check out when you have some time.

Hey Paul, Thanks for looking at it and giving the feedback, i'm really looking forward to dissecting it with you tomorrow!

Hey Paul, Here's the first version of the last time at 100%!

Hey Paul, Here's sitting on the dock of the bay a week on, it's definitely getting stronger.

Hey Paul, here's the video for sittin on the dock of the bay at 100% speed. It definitely still needs some work in the middle section and towards the end but i thought it would be good to have a warts and all version.

Hey Paul, thanks for posting the above, i'll definitely start working through the scales later this week. Additionally here's a version of me playing lonely boy at 100% speed now!

Hey Paul, Here are the scales that i've got to learn.

Hey Paul, Here is The Last Time played to the backing track, it's currently at 75% speed. So that's all 3 pieces for grade 3 that i just need to build the speed up on over the next few weeks. I've got some scales to learn too of course, but should be ready to book the next exam soon!

Hi Paul, Here the practice of The Last Time at 84bpm. I think the cat was trying to doing the vocals!

Hi Paul, Here is the latest version of me actually playing to the backing track, this is currently at 75% speed, so a little ways to go still.

Hi Paul, Finally got around to recording the first go at sitting on the dock of the bay (or at least 3/4's of it!).

Hi Paul, Jumping back to lonely boy again, here is the recording of me playing the guitar to the backing track at 90% (150 bpm) of the speed needed! Definitely getting there now. Lonely Boy 90% Doug,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgTzI1zxjA0&feature=youtu.be

Hi Paul, I hope you are well and had a great Christmas. I thought i'd take the opportunity to post a video using the new acoustic. This is the progress so far for zombie which we started looking at last week. Zombie Practise,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3olytfI8Kw&feature=youtu.be

Hi Paul, Thought it was about time that i recorded a version of lonely boy all the way through. This is at 83bpm so 50% speed. WIN 20201212 10 21 52 Pro,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BU2u6_3uI9Q&feature=youtu.be

Hey Paul, time for a progress update. I think the first time is 90 bpm, then 104 bpm, then 115 bpm and finally 130bpm. Fast Car V2,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UjQU81XpuY

Hey Paul, following on from last lesson here is the part that we were going through from Fast Car done at different speeds until it starts to fall over. I think the speeds are 40bpb, 60bpm, 70bpm and then it starts to fall over at 80bpm. Fingers crossed by out next lesson it will be up to the target speed of 100bpm for this part.

Hi Paul, as promised please see below for the latest video of Never Too Late by 3 Days Grace. Still a ways to go, but it's definitely getting there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Cn6mLIEmUs&feature=youtu.be Best, Doug

There we go!
