I'm working on finding the note needed (of different chords) when going from cross picking to flat picking when accompanying myself. When it's done correctly it works and when it's not done correctly it is awkward.
That and "June Apple". That F in the middle of a song in the key of G just bugs me. |

Would love to hear that arrangement, it is a pretty tune. My mom used to play the Tony Bennet version, and I actually heard a nice take by George Benson on Spotify awhile ago. I’m working on ‘Midnight Special’ as part of the Fretboard Five course with David Hamburger, and thanks to a similarity in key and mood, also working on a new fingerstyle arrangement of an old favorite, Jackson Brown’s ‘These Days.’ |
Working on Stephen Wake's arrangement of Cairn Water.

I just started learning a fingerstyle arrangement of Ashoken Farewell, by Gtrfinger who generously provided the tabs.

Money - Pink Floyd
Never got past the first opening riff before. Watched "The Making of Dark Side of the Moon". (Amazon, Hulu, Peacock, ?) Didn't know a single acoustic guitar could make it sound so good... |

Well it’s done now but that was way harder then i was prepared for. But you’re right - the feeling afterwards is great and it’s always an amazing feeling to be able to add a new technique to the tool box. Now i’ll try to find something new for next weekend. |
A quiet little song, sans pyrotechnics: "Couldn't Be Better" by the Ozark Mountain Daredevils.
|
"Wishlist" by Pearl Jam. Actually I'm just learning the lyrics (committing to memory). The tune itself is dead simple - I had that under my fingers after one listen.
|
I'm working on Villa-Lobos' etude number 1, Austurias, and lastly, I'm slowly working on polishing all learned materials. I'm also working on improving my right hand which I think is an ongoing process for everyone whether you're a beginner or advanced player.

I'm working on my new song (fourth one I've written, and first one where I'm finger-picking and singing at the same time).
I need to get to where I can play/sing it without having the lyrics to look at. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZLKwB-qiPs |
My entire repertoire from James Taylor to Styx and everything in between. I took the last while off from playing and it's surprising how " rusty" one can get. So I'm slowly putting the polish back on about 30 songs before I learn any new ones. The most recent new song I learned was "Hotel California". I'm no Don Felder but it turned out pretty good.

Hope everyone is enjoying a day off jamming.
Right now I’m learning ‘Oh me’ by the meat puppets / Nirvana unplugged version. It’s a pretty simple song but really fun to play and I like the sliding. Now I’m trying to make it sound good ; ) I’ve also been playing ‘Rape me’ Solo acoustic version- another example of cobain greatness in my opinion. The song itself is really easy, just 4 power chords, but the way he sings it and strays off tempo make for a magical tune that I can’t do justice just yet. Very fun to play and sing though. And for finger picking ive been learning Wonderful Tonight by Eric c and Who by Fire by Leonard Cohen. Who by fire is one of my favoritas. The live in London performance with Javier mas on that 12 string is inteeense. Rock on Don’t clam up on my account folks. I promise my energy is not contagious you just carry on |
Just found this so i’ll guess todays song will be Purple rain. This is one heck of a cover. |
Working on Freight Train. Its a bit of a stretch (;-)) for these old fingers...
