How often do you change your guitar strings?
I don't want to start a debate on the quality or the longevity of strings 😅, just want to know what your habit is. Answer the poll!

I probably leave it a bit longer than I should! But when I do change them I feel a massive difference in playability and sound

@Blaise Laflamme yeah 😂
When do you learn more…
… on the good days, when your fingers glide effortlessly above the fretboard, every note is perfectly formed, and you pause afterwards to savour what you just heard yourself play before moving onto the next bit of practice? … or on the not-so-good days, when your hands are half a second behind your head, the fretboard keeps growing and shrinking, and every note feels like it was pried out of the dog's mouth covered in drool and tooth marks? Today is the second kind of day for me, and I'm trying to convince myself that it's worth pushing through, because it means I'll get more of the first kind of day in the future. 🙂

@David M. As mentioned in my above reply, I will hopefully now have more of an idea on how to properly structure practice where there is limited time for practice.

@Blaise Laflamme 👍🏻 thanks. Will take that on board. Might aim for ~30 mins 4 out of the 5 weekdays and an hour each day of the weekend. Then if I do more then great and if I have to reduce it then I can work around it.
Bring him home - les miserables
This is a recording of me playing the guitar and my Grandad singing ‘Bring him home’. This is the first ‘real’ recording I’ve done. It’s a song my Grandad has sang for many years and we thought it would be nice the two of us recording it together. This is from about a year ago and the piece is not challenging but it is enjoyable to play. We have a few more pieces we want to record together in the near future.

@Blaise Laflamme thank you. Sorry to hear about your father. Honestly not sure. We recorded the two parts separately and put them together. It was one of his friends and his son that recorded each of our parts because I’m at the west coast and he’s at the east coast of Scotland. It seemed like it was a very good setup he had but no clue what it was.
What guitar support are you currently using?
I don't want to start a debate about guitar supports 😅, just want to know which one you're using at the moment... Footrest, Ergo-Play, Guitarlift, Sagework... Right now I'm using LeSupport by Thomas Viloteau!

@Blaise Laflamme 👍🏻 thanks. I might look into it sooner rather than later then.
Live Q & A time?
Hey everyone Really keen to get our first live Q & A in the calendar.
