Re: Scales and some sort of lead playing

<t>Hogman, looks like you've got some good tips here. I might add..... try to find a friend who you can jam with, then learn a couple of Neil's lessons where he gives some tips on exploring the leads. I would suggest Melissa, Down by the River, Cowgirl in the Sand. Then work on experimenting with th...

Re: >> Newest Target members only lesson - Fly On The Wall - It’s All Over Now Baby Blue with Beaker

<t>No, I brought that weather down to California from Canada. I tried to leave it behind , trust me, we had a very wet spring on the west coast of Canada but it must have followed me in the draft of the jet stream. ..... I'm pretty sure Neil was mad at me for bringing all that rain. ... Kidding. Bea...

Re: Out of action RicksPick

Heal up Rick, sorry to hear about your injuries. Whichever device you choose, I recommend watching lots of guitar vids on it just to stay inspired. Beaker.

Re: >> Todays Target members only Student Video Review by Neil - Treetop Flyer by beaker

<t>Thanks for your comment Harry. I appreciate it. I heard that story about Ray LaMontange as well, pretty cool. I will also suggest when you are learning this song, to check out You Tube for a version of Stephen Stills Playing it. It might be helpful and it will for sure be inspirational! Good luck...

Re: >> Todays Target members only Student Video Review by Neil - Treetop Flyer by beaker

<t>Thanks a million Neil! I'm going to work on your suggestions. You are right, when I saw the video of my playing, I realized I was playing too fast! I'm working on slowing it down. And I can't believe I didn't think of keeping the bass going. When you mention it, it seems obvious. Oh well, I will ...

Re: Busking DD and a little harp

Vanessa, Great job on that song! I was unfamiliar with the song but it was great. I have never jammed with you in person, but I jammed along with you on the video. Nice to see a little of your playing again. I think it has been a while since you posted any songs. Have a great day. Beaker.

Re: >>New Target and Pay Per Lesson release - Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right - Bob Dylan

<t>thanks Neil, I already know this one, but as usual I am sure you will have some tips that I can pick up. I am from the camp that says that Dylan definitely played the guitar part. It is also on the Whitmark Demo's CD from the era of 62'-64' and he fingerpicked that one. Yes, he strummed it at the...

Re: James Taylor Something In The Way She Moves by coclimber

Coclimber, truthfully, that was very good. Very musical. You have been hiding in the shadows, playing your guitar a lot obviously. Nice one! Beaker.
