    • My first take of Fingerstyle Blues, Level 1

      Finally managed to memorize and play through the entire piece once. Still made some mistakes, and I've spontaneoulsy changed the ending a bit under the stress of knowing I'm on camera, but no major f-ups, which is what I was hoping for but still... almost a miracle. But now that this is done I can relax, and keep practicing at slower tempos and move on to other stuff, like... Level 2! :-)

      I can see on my receipts that I've bought this lesson in March 2021, and considering I still got Level 2 and Level 3 to go through, it means you were perfectly right Emil, when you said: "just keep practicing and maybe... in a couple of years you'll get it!" :-)

      Actually this reminds me of a question i've been meaning to ask you! After starting this lesson, I had to go back one level so to speak, to Fingerstyle Basics (which was free I think) and learned Canned Heat there first:

      But I've been looking high and low for an old Blues song called Canned Heat, and I found a truckload of songs by the BAND Canned Heat, but not a single SONG titled Canned Heat!! :-)

      This Forum also returns nothing on Canned Heat.

      Could you be so kind and provide a pointer or maybe even a link to this song on any platform please? :-)
      Thank you!!

      @emilernebro PS: absolutely agree on "fun tune" and "so many useful ideas in there"!
      I remember when I first found the lesson I thought: "YES!!! This is exactly what I've been searching for!"

      Country soloing concepts and this last one with fast guitar licks you just posted look awesome, too! Can't wait to get to them!
