A mix of the Buddy Guy and SRV versions of Mary Had A Little Lamb. It’s taken me two years to get this tune to a presentable level.
More rough slide, though less twiddly. I made this cigar box guitar last year for Liverpool Makefest, and learning slide gives me an excuse to break it out.
Trying to learn a bit of slide guitar.
The other day I was practicing the second solo, which is more a blues style solo, but this first solo in the song is very different to play, being more of a vocal melody for guitar.
Due to life getting in the way which meant my practice became irregular I stopped posting these. Only in the last week have I managed to start to get back into my routine. Partly I also lacked motivation, but my guitar teacher came to the rescue with this as a challenge
A first go at the first solo in that song. Vaguely recognisable, but timing needs work as it’s a bit monotonic now I hear it back.
Again, sorry. Trying to fill it out slowly from the initial section I have now learned.
I rebuilt my pedalboard to just have my looper and reverb on it, as I miss the looper for practice and I miss reverb to just make solo practice seem a little less alone time wise.
Today I Practiced: but my head was full of other stresses and I was feeling tired so no video as it was all terrible. But I did at least put in some time.
Still working on trying to get this more fluid. It was made a lot easier when my guitar teacher pointed out a much simpler way to hold the major 6 chord.
Had my weekly lesson last night and my guitar teacher liked what I was trying to do, but recommended giving myself longer bars to make it less panicked :)
