Stri - 30 May 2007 21:28 GMT Hi there,
I was curious as to how well I'm doing after playing for two years. It's not a competition, hell I think if it were I'm going to come last.
I'd just like to know the sort of things you could play after two years so I can gauge myself against your expertise at that time.
If this isn't acceptable, that's fine then please excuse me and ignore this thread.
Thanks

I don't know if it's the drugs or the onset of a premature mid-life crisis. :P

I've got most of it, it's a repetitious finger picking pattern and although that's pretty much it. There a couple of small variances but apart from that it's pretty straight forward.

When I finish that, sure!
Although I don't have an MSN account anymore nor a webcam. But then I wouldn't need a webcam to pick up bar chords.
We'll sort something out for sure. I'll drop an email your way.

Pleh....would be no help....never tried to play other peoples music....went a different route....learnt chords / notes etc, and just make up me own stuff.
Sure it's sh.t, but it's my sh.t.
(not to say I cant play other peoples stuff, after a year of playing it just seemed....pointless...to play other peoples stuff.)
Oh been playing about 5-6 years here, I'm fuckin terrible still ^_^

It's fun to play songs that I love (especially for an audience who digs it) but it's rewarding in a different way to compose.

To begin with it was Dylan and cash and each new songs taught me new chords, rhythm, hammer on hammer off etc.
I like to write but I know my stuff is bad so I just keep learning. When I feel I'm "good" I might start writing again.
That may take a few more years :)
