@Simira Congrats to you also on posting your first recording! Very haunting, but catchy and beautiful: I found that I kept playing your song over in my mind for awhile after I listened to it. I really enjoyed this experience: trying to get a track right requires some work (...and a few more "takes" than one would imagine...), but sharing the final product with others is rewarding. Another month; another challenge! No rest for the weary! Only this time I am not going to wait for the month to be almost over before I start recording... I am looking forward to hearing your next song. Take care.

Oh yea, it's a great escape even for those of us no longer employed.

I think music is the ultimate expression of freedom of speech; be it lyrics, passion, or just creative ways to explore sound. I truly believe music brings out the best in all of us. It allows us an escape from the daily norm of work, politics, and whatever is troubling us. Long Live Music!!

🏰🎡Hello Everyone!🏜🛤 This months Recording Challenge comes from Freewill, it is "Places or Locations". Freewill said "Songs that would obviously fit would be "America The Beautiful", "Back in the USSR", etc. " You can also interpret this more loosely for songs including the word "home" like "My Hometown" or the word "place" like "We've Gotta Get Out of This Place" or "A Place in Your Heart" I look forward to hearing your recordings. 1) Wim VD1 playing "St. James Infirmary " 2) Watson43 playing "Up on the roof" 3) Simira playing "Havanah"

Session 3 is all about playing intervals and Teri's song (from the course) is a nice little tune using 10ths. I like it so much that I decided to record it. Wim.

with in-trepidation, I've put aside learning songs for now, in hopes that concentrating on what might not sound very musical will help expand my playing ability. I still what to get a 10 song set list together (other than my 150 songs for church), but I feel the need to concentrate on more skills before I can make it happen. I really like playing live and that's what the church choir does for me.. but I want more.. who doesn't want to run a riff on stage like Hendrix or SRV (just not in church) Not practicing Take'n Care of Business, Pretty Woman, You Got it and Day Tripper from the Song Hits add-on and really going to try to stay with this Truefire course.. I've really starting to get used to running the Truefire app to work on the course.

@Wim VD1 Thankyou 🙏for your lovely comments. I really enjoy reading and listening to your many contributions too. Please keep us upto date on your fingerstyle journey, as I am on a similar journey, albeit not as dedicated as you as I haven't finished the LMG course yet...... or the Song Hits......or the Blues course....or ........!!!!! 😳🤣

@Simira, I love this fingerstyle blues. Well played, great timing and tone. Welcome to the monthly challenge. Wim.

@Freewill Hi fellow Newbie to the challenge. Congrats, that was very beautiful, I really enjoyed listening. Hope to hear more recordings from you in the future 😊👏
