Re: What are you learning?
embarrassingly, I'm on a very 70's disco oriented trip at the moment, Chic, Earth Wind and Fire etc... I'm trying to improve my speed and technique, and sadly I'm really enjoying it
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

I just remember most of them from 'grab a granny' nights in the Mall, Stockton. My old haunt as an early twenty-something
Did the job though.

Bad Guy is a great solo loop song. Wish You Were Samick is a fun acoustic number.

Fingerstyle songs like that is almost a meditation for me. If I don't fully relax and empty my mind it all falls apart. The minute I try to think of what I'm doing it all turns to custard. Hard yakka!

Same here. I've been playing Needle and the Damage Done for decades and I doubt I've ever played it without a mistake.

The closest thing to crazy - Katie Melua. I am sure I will do it a total injustice, even when transposed to a more suitable key of G for male vocal chords...
Stunning voice she has:

Re: What are you learning?
Pretty song. Acoustic fingerpicking is the only thing I can do with any degree of confidence. And it is often a meditation; especially with my Lowden.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
