All forgotten, although as part of my recovery process I am supposed to find a home for a couple hundred "hard to find" Beatles albums. Any takers before I change my mind?

Neil

P.S. Never mind, too late now. They have to stay and I feel better, maybe even "fine."

I had no idea that one could actually recover from such an affliction! I do consider myself lucky that my obsession is digital, and not vinyl.... Storing that amount of music would be, well, difficult... ;) I am sure you have some storage issues. B)

Good point Neil! I made my request before re-visiting the actual lesson videos when I was downloading files to keep (there was a GPro6 file there). I have noticed I am starting to forget songs I have worked on before. As I went through, I realised I can live without it. But since you mentioned completion.... I did think it would be good to have a play through of the whole thing at the end. My feeling is every lesson should have a complete play through performance. No pressure to go back and check 600 odd lessons and add a complete play through... is there?! :woohoo: Of course, I understand a play through is not always essential and you are not focussed on teaching songs but on advancing us as guitar players.

The news reminded me about Last Train To Clarksville.... can we please have the GPro file in GPro 5 format please... for those of us using TuxGuitar which cannot handle Gpro 6 or .gpx.
Many thanks!

Hey Chris,

After looking back at the tab for Last Train I remember I almost didn't even post the gpx file as I can't imaging what anybody could need from that, as short as it is, that they can't get from the pdf. Are you sure you need it and this isn't just a completionist's obsession?...

I've watched this News a few times now and
there's a lot of great tips in there for me too.
Bookmarked for sure.

Just loved the music you played this week.

Thanks

Dermot

Wow, your sure in a great mood today. To bad you had to run off to the ball game, you could have stayed and played a little longer.

Ok, you played something that is now driving me crazy. It was a classical number, that you played towards the end of your wrap up. You said we had a lesson on it, and you went back and forth on the fingering. For the life of me, I can't remember the name of that song. I don't know if Hector did it or you, but I remember working on it before my surgery last year, and I had forgotten all about it. WHAT IS THAT SONG. I lived in a camper for several months, and tossed a lot of my sheet music that I didn't have room for, and now I'm wondering if I tossed this one. Oh somebody help me here. :S

Scott
Ok, I figured it out by myself. Life has been sort of painful lately, and I guess my memory is going. But the song is Lagrima. A Hector lesson. I do wish you'd put your spin on it Neil, but I'll resurrect it anyway.

Scott,

Funny you should mention it but I have been thinking about the same thing but restraining because of Hector's lesson. I will probably get to it as I beef up the classical lessons anyway.

I thought you may be exercising a professional courtesy somehow. But I don't think adding your view or teaching style would detract at all from what Hector has done. I think it would be a plus, not a minus. There are certainly some spots in the tab, that are more than just a little confusing. I think I'm working through them, but there may be folks that would be left scratching their heads without some guidance.

Either way, it sounds almost like a lullaby, and as a lesson, has a lot to learn. I'm so glad you brought it up Friday, because I had totally forgotten this song. I won't do that again.

Scott
