November 4, 2011

This week at TotallyGuitars we added a couple of pretty recent songs
to the Target Program, along with a great Beginning Fingerpicking
Course. We have gotten quite a few requests for a step-bys-step
approach to fingerpicking and we answered with Fingerpicking 101. This
is a set of lessons that start at the very beginning and take you from
how to position your right hand and strike the strings into the type
of patterns used in dozens of the Target songs.

We stepped back into the present with lessons on Nickelback’s How You
Remind Me and Ryan Adams’ Answering Bell. Both of these were songs
brought to my attention first by private students. After working with
them a bit, they both seemed like they had something to offer our TG
students.

On the reality side we had a couple of Fly On The Wall Lessons and
Student Reviews. On the review side we saw uploads of Imagine and
Cat’s In The Cradle, with comments and suggestions that can apply to
many other songs. Our Fly Series continued with a revisited look at
Embryonic Journey and a short lesson on Toes, by Zac Brown. This
turned into more of a transposing lesson although the discussions on
Toes pretty much show how to play it without charts or tab.

Behind the scenes, we have had the staff hard at work lately
redesigning our top menus to make many of our lessons more easily
accessible. Getting to places like our Strumming Series or Theory
Lessons is now as simple as pulling a drop down menu from the row
across the top. We have quite a few more things to add up here now
that it is mostly working the way we planned.

That was the week…

Stay Tuned & In Touch,

Neil

What was that last tune? Was that still J. Renbourn? (Whatever it was that was cool.)

Good guess! One of John's jazzy improvs called My Dear Boy, a song that has a lot of room for missing notes...

Thanks for the info, Neil. very cool tune!

So did I hear Far Away (Nickelback)??

Vanessa, I see that you voted on Far Away in the Recomend a lesson link, but maybe you should do some hard core lobbying. My guess is that MR. Hogan is a kind instructor that maybe likes the song and your dreams may someday come true.

Dropped D, down 1/2 step. Take it from there...
