Ha ha... Michelle, I bet they WISH it too only a few minutes :dry: than 2 days days !!


:laugh: :laugh:

A few minutes indeed

Frankly I'm amazed and impressed with how they manage to develop new lessons so regularly and with such frequency. Imagine what must be involved:

- find songs that might make good lessons for acoustic guitar, preferable solo guitar, popular new stuff
- find some good acoustic performances that sound great
- work out how the artist is playing it
- work out how to make it teachable to us mere mortals
- work out what needs to be taught in detail
- practice it til the version works as a performance
- work out what each segment of the lesson needs to include
- prepare the GPro file and tab
- prepare the chart and lyrics (work out what they are really singing)
- start to record; then record and record and record over again until you have the segments you want, make sure everything's correct and all the right are messages included
- research the artist/band so you can make the preview even more interesting
- write the blurb for the lesson post
- do the preview - remember to include info on everything that's in the lesson
- perform the playthrough (oh did I mention learn how to sing it too?) and make it brilliant!
- edit all of the above so that it's so smooth people think you did it in a day
- keep smiling and upbeat even though you're stressed that you might not make the deadline for this week's lesson to satisfy the hungry TG audience's thirst for excellent lessons.

- respond to questions on the forum and FaceBook.

- think about getting some sleep.

Sigh... Then repeat.

I'm sure I'd missed steps. But you get the idea.

Hi Ness,
I look in every day and I play every day, which is really important.

I doubt if I will make IGC 2015, it's a busy time for me at work. I also hate the journey, it just takes so long to get there, three planes last time. :blink: I have to wait until I have forgotten how bad the journey is.

I know though that everyone who goes will have a great time.
