Yet more things to highlight my sloppy playing :) This is also not in a familiar scale shape, so it currently feels arbitrary to play, lacking the familiar physical structures I like things to fit in.
Also, jazz chords tacked on at the end also are not all in my muscle memory yet, so it’s like learning guitar for the first time on some of those :)
Playing mostly blues covers up quite a lot of my sloppy playing. Getting this tune to even this level took embarrassingly long. (Aside: I’ve been fortunate enough to see hank marvin play this live)
A nice simple rhythm riff that’s instantly recognisable.
Terrible, but that’s practice. I’ve not been very inspired at the moment due to other things clouding my mind, so struggling to get anything cohesive practice wise.
Work has had me swamped, hence no practice for several days, and my fingers are feeling it today: Slow to get going and sore afterwards.
Embarrassingly I forget the name of this piece, and its been an age since I knowingly listened to it, but this is me trying to play it from my memory of having heard it as part of training my ear
Very sloppy, but better than it was when I started ten minutes previously :)
Normally in a I-IV-V chord progression I’d play the same minor pentatonic scale over all three chords. Here I’m confusing myself by trying to play the right arpeggio scale for the current chord.
Somewhere between practicing funk strumming and jazz chords I found this.
I was feeling very uninspired again today, when at the end this song came to me and I put down the electric and played this, which I think is under appreciated in R.E.M.’s back catalogue. Simple chords but a beautiful song.
Trying or some new chord progressions at the moment and then wiring or which scales/arpeggios work well over them.
Sorry the audio is so quiet - must have knocked the level on my preamp and you can’t tweak that readily on the phone alas.
After a long day yesterday feeling a bit run down and my heart wasn’t really in it, but I managed half an hour still. Most of what I practiced was funk strumming with wah, but the audio was terrible due some reason (beyond just my playing) and so you get this instead.
