@Paul Bridge Firstly, Paul, awesome job for just plucking up the courage and posting. That is a huge step. I've always found the student who record themselves the post and just post frequently make the most amount of progress. Like @Iain Brown said, I'd love to see a more recent video. Maybe noodling over a Blues in Am?
Sorry for the short notice...
Hey guys, Apologies for the short notice. I can't attend this week's or next week's live hangs. I have a random Thursday pub gig next week, and I forgot about a social event my wife's attending this evening. So I'm on kiddy duty! However, I've created a Zoom link that requires no host. Fingers crossed it works. So what this means is you can join the call and hang out with your fellow members, socialise, and get to know each other. That'll be for this week and next week. I'm going to record some video tutorials tomorrow and Monday and will post them for you guys to look at, so when I come back, I'd like the call to be geared around answering your questions. Enjoy this evening's call. I hope it works.
A motivator to practice effectively for me.
I had quit guitar a year and a half ago because it was hurting my hand. So I took up piano keyboard instead. But I missed guitar and came back to it in late June. I've since found ways to ease the stress on my left hand. Well, while practicing piano I was quite disorganized and found it hard to stay motivated. It dawned on me one day to make a record of what I was practicing and how I was using my time. So I put it in a spreadsheet. One surprise I got from this is that the spreadsheet turned out to be quite a motivator also. I'm posting this in case anyone finds this helpful. The video explains how to use it. A motivator to practice effectively for me. A motivator I call My Gamify success: This is one way I'm successful at acquiring additional motivation to practice, and practice effectively. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-tPQuBDbJ8 Blank spreadsheet template: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DNGNmAF8M9xiAAfKVdox1_eydozjhNmM/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=111625404969229748291&rtpof=true&sd=true

I’ve been listening to a lot of different artists at the moment. Johnny Winter I’ve been enjoying coming back to. Jeff Healey too. I’ve also been diving into T. Bone Walker which has been cool. And then I was feeling nostalgic so I started listening to some AC/DC again!
Blues Hang Today
Hey guys, Looking forward to our blues hang later today. As a reminder, the times are: 7pm UK / 2pm EST / 11am PST If you have questions, feel free to bring them, and I'll answer them on the call. Otherwise, you can just hang out and listen in. Hope to see you later on 🤘

@Michael Evison only just seen this! Did today's lesson shed any light?

@Michael Evison gotcha, that makes sense. Yeah, a lot of the CAGED chords aren't exactly user friendly. And kinda like how I mentioned on the call, I'm only really using some of them as a visualisation method. I'll look into doing some bite size lessons on the CAGED system and chords and how to find your triads within them.
