Re: On The Beat - Episode 641 - Weekly Guitar Video News Wrap Up January 28, 2022

Nice to hear Bermuda Triangle Exit! You might get a kick out of this version I just recently recorded with Teja Gerken. Even tho on the record it's just a solo Stefan tune, we decided to try to treat it more like their duets, adding a 2nd part and extending it a bit. In this case, I'm playing electr...

Re: The Bricklayer's Beautiful Daughter by CarolM

Nice job Carol! That's a cool tune, difficult to memorize and to play smoothly, since everything is so slow and exposed.

Re: Away In A Manger - Solo Arrangement by Doug Young

Re: >>New Target and Pay Per Lesson - Exercises for Fretting Hand Dexterity

<t>You can definitely do that, or anything you like. It adds a level of complexity, tho. Say you try to play the top strings using a imam pattern, fingers 1,2,3,2 on the 4 string version. Makes sense, but it can be a bit head-spinning to try to do 1,2,3,2 (imam) on one hand, and all the other patter...

Re: >>New Target and Pay Per Lesson - Exercises for Fretting Hand Dexterity
