9 Months???

Wow! Nine months since my last post, please accept my apologies for not keeping my progress up to date. I suppose one saving grace of leaving it so long between posts is that the blog is not filled with lots of pointless posts.

New Guitar!

 I remember in one of my previous posts stating that i was going to get a Chapman ML1. As you can see I changed my mind and went all in for a Schecter Omen Extreme 6 with a floyd rose special tremalo system. This guitar is seriously amazing compared to my old guitar. Its such a joy to play and though it a lacks a little versatility it more than redeems itself when playing heavier material which is my preference.
I find this guitar much easier to play, the neck feels comfortable and there is plenty of space between the frets for even my clumsy fingers.







Progress - Old Bones Blues

I have been working to this piece on and off for a while now. I made this video yesterday to help me document my learning. Yesterday was the first time I had actually played this piece in a long time and taking this video took more attempts than i care to remember lol.
Though there is much to be improved upon I am pretty pleased with the outcome of this.
The piece is a blues song called "Old Bones Blues" and is/was used for grade 3 guitar exams.




Progress - Fallout

My second grade 3 piece that I am learning is a heavy rock composition called Fallout. I am loving this song and finding it challenging. As you can see from the video I have a great deal of work to do on this, I have yet to learn the second half of the song which is very much evident from the video and I have some timing issues to overcome but hopefully in a few weeks time I will have mastered this piece.
