Hi Everyone,
This week's wrap up has just been released!
Enjoy!
http://www.totallyguitars.com/blog/guit ... -6th-2018/
This week took a completely unexpected turn when I was prompted to do a lesson on Pipeline. My first thought was,
“you’ve got to be kidding me”, then I thought again and figured it might be time to revisit it in spite of the fact that I didn’t really
have an arrangement I was happy with. I also was not looking forward to the amount of time it would probably take to play it at a
reasonable level. Today’s update started with a run through of some of the parts, which turned out better that I had anticipated,
and I talked about some of the challenges in the song, along with a few practice technique thoughts.
The result of this was getting completely obsessed with mastering the arrangement, at the expense of getting much else done.
I also crossed a bit of a bridge deciding that I could start the lesson even if I couldn’t play it yet. I figured we all could be working
on it simultaneously. At least it has been fun, productive, and a bit exhausting. The rest of the lesson should be up next week
sometime.
The other new additions to the Target Program this week were a Fly On The Wall video with Sandy working on Landslide, which we
transposed to a key to better suit her voice, and a lesson from Max on Heart Shaped Box by Nirvana.
Aside from playing through some of Pipeline, there was a bit of Sylvia by Focus, and a little improv on Landslide in the
key of G. There were also some closing thoughts on unorthodox fingering techniques, particularly switching fingers holding a
note after playing it. This is something that is not necessary often but can be really useful on rare occasions.

Great job on a very difficult song Neil. I think that this song will just have to wait until I someday retire and can practice all day for a week. Maybe then????
See you soon!

Hi Neil
Great Weekly News.
Thanks for the additional Pipeline segments throughout, great additions for the lesson.
The back roll is a tricky technique for sure, although you say it's not necessary, it's nice.
I'll keep at it.
Great Pipeline Acoustic Snapshot too.
Sandy's Landslide FOTW was interesting too.
