I wanted to practice barre chords and synchopated strumming, and this is a testing song that practices both. Any advice welcome.

PLEASE NOTE: If video was recently uploaded it will not work yet. YouTube will need a little more time to get the video ready. Please check back again soon.

I recognise that sound everywhere(doobie brothers right??) i believe everything you played there,,i tryed it ones when the lesson came out but only listen to your playing i think you made that DB sound, very impresive..

Thanks Willem, it's a great feel-good groove!

No advice from me. It sounded great.

Hi Dean that sounds very good. I would suggest to hit a little more on the open fat E when doing the first chord ( you hit it with the hammer on, but you are not doing it after). I find it gives a bit more volume. Just a thought.

Marc

Hey Dean, that sounded great! Looks like you really enjoyed playing that.

Hi Dean,

Another song you're doing that I really enjoy. You've got a really good sound going. Keep at it. I look forward to your progress.

Bob

Very well done Dean, good job on the intro and very solid strumming!

Are you able to sing it as well?

Ness

This one's a bit rich for my blood, also very hard to sing with such synchopation. I'd love to hear you...

Dean:

That really sounded solid to me. Great rhythm and syncopation. You could probably nail the rhythm on Ventura Highway, which is a tough one too. I was waiting for you to start reaching out for the singing too.... That one would be tough to reach....
