As the year draws to a close, I've been looking back at many lessons I've started this year so I can start thinking about the ones I'll focus on on my time off. It's a looooooong list... B)
HOOOOO WEEEEEEEE! The pace of the lessons being pumped out here is staggering. No wonder I haven't finished anything for a while. I keep getting distracted by the next shiny option. But I'm determined to get more disciplined.
Neil overwhelmed me with his lesson choices looooong ago and I've long given up even looking at all of them now. I'm generally choosing the ones that really grab me at the moment. My lose I'm sure. I know there is enormous value and fun in ALL of them, but I only have so much time.
I thought I could keep up a little better with Nessa,... Ha!!!!! She's a smokin' lesson machine too!!! 23 lessons in a little over 6 months (hopefully I haven't missed any, maybe it's more); and that includes a week of camp! I find this especially AMAZING as I know that Nessa had never even played a big percentage of these before, in part because many are fairly recent artists. Awesome! The list follows (a little out of sequence, mostly grouped by artist):
TGVanessa's lessons
- Running in empty - Jackson Browne
- Broken - Jake Bugg
- Mother - Pink Floyd
- Try to Find Me - Graham Nash
- Little Song - Sarah Jarosz
- Edge of a Dream - Sarah Jarosz
- Run Away - Sarah Jarosz
- Iris - Goo Goo Dolls
- Your Rocky Spine - Great Lake Swimmers
- Annan Water - Decemberists
- The Hazards of Love 4 - Decemberists
- Down by the Water - Decemberists
- June Hymn - Decemberists
- Baby Can I Hold You - Tracy Chapman
- For You - Tracy Chapman
- Give Me One Reason - Tracy Chapman
- Please Don't say you love me - Gabrielle Aplin
- A Thousand Years - Christina Perri
- Jar of Hearts - Christina Perri
- If it Kills me - Jason Mraz
- Love for a child - Jason Mraz
- Beautiful Mess - Jason Mraz
- Someone Like You - Adele
Damn! And every one of them has tempted me. I've stared learning almost all of them. Believe me it would be all if I had more time. Fantastic!
Neil and Matt you initially promised us.... I think about ...2 or 3 lessons a month... Yep I think you've met that one, especially when you look at the variety of things you bring us now . You promised that Nessa would give us some piano songs converted for the guitar, some fresh new artist and more women artists too. Tick, tick, tick and all at the high standard that you yourself laid down the blue print for Neil. Amazing!
I have a suggestion to celebrate TGNessa's more than six-month anniversary as a TG teacher. How about changing the photo on the song parts screen for Nessa's lessons to either one of you and her together (perhaps from the TG news you did for camp or another from camp) and/or one by herself in TG-Teacher-mode. That would be way cool. [Insert Mexican wave emoticons here] B) :silly:
It's been a great year of choice. Doug has been a great addition too. Who knows what next year holds? A huge THANKS to the whole TG team! I LOVE your work. I hope you all get a chance for a little rest and relaxation with loved ones before the 2014 year kicks off and you're all doing your magic at a cracking pace again.
