who wants to join a friendly "learn an new song" challenge?
Hi guys,
would anybody like to join a friendly "learn a new song" challenge? Anyone can join! Just try to "learn an new song" however long it takes. It's that simple. The only requirement is that as you learn please post your progress, triumphs and troubles here. The whole point is to support each other throughout the process and have fun. My goals: - learn a new song "The Glory Of Love", hopefully starting tomorrow - record and post it Who's in? P.S. for those interested here's the result of the song I started to learn during the last 14 day practice challenge: http://www.acousticguitarforum.com/f...69#post3861469 |

Okay, I'll sign up!
I did make good progress on the last challenge; for one thing, learning how to record on my Logic program and post to the web. So, I got some collateral benefit. I'm supposed to be--in my Happy Traum book--on Make Me A Pallet, but I just can't get to where I love the song, so I'm now going to learn something more catchy: Hey Jude. Hope it's not so overdone as to be like Stairway to Heaven on guitar! Anyway, I ran through it today, and I'd like to learn it so that's my entry into the challenge. |

In.
Can I use a song I've been tabbing the solo for already?? My plan was to tab out the solos, and then put it together to play it at an open mic. |

I'll plumb for 'Windy and Warm'! I only ever got to learning the first bar or so! I've been finishing up with 'Freight Train' and could do with another song to get my (metaphorical) teeth into!
Cool thread |

I'm in. I'm always learning new songs so I'll to think of what will be my "official" song for this thread. Like the 14 day challenge, I assume we need to post a recording?

Mine will be a sound recording from my iPhone - don't have a good video camera! Where can upload such things free of charge?

I learn new song a little more rapidly than some, I guess. Started learning 2 songs last week, will do them both tomorrow night at an open mic: Walking in Memphis (Bruce Hornsby) and The Moment (Toad the Wet Sprocket).

I'm interested. I'm just about ready to start a new song from Toby Walkers beginner course. When are you starting?

I've decided that my song for this challenge will be a slightly simpler version of Pure Prairie League's "Amie". Chords are straight forward but I want to get the intro and solo down. This will be the first song I learn that isn't just chords.

I have several songs in progress.
windy and Warm Saturday night shuffle Yankee Doodle Dixie hey ho -the lumineers Home-Phillip Phillips Budweiser puppy song - passenger but for this, I have never mastered the lead part to John Denver's "Late Winter Early Spring (When Everybody Goes to Mexico) even though the complete tab and score is online. The challenge is that it is four minutes of lead melody licks,, Not an AABB format or similar. |

Day 1: after a LONG practice last night I sat down with the video and watched the lesson and replayed the "as tabbed" version of the Glory of Love a few times. My first goal was to get the song in mind head. This is how I start every fingerpicking song. I don't start getting it under my fingers until I can recall the song well. As I write this the song is playing away in my head non-stop which is a good thing! I'll start in with the first few bars tonight.
