UPDATE The "Guitar Apprentice" section is now finished. All three songs - Foreigner's "Hot Blooded", ZZ Top's "LaGrange" and Alabama's "Mountain Music" - are now available once again. My next and last endeavor in this project will be the "Song Lessons" section. I suppose it will take quite a lot more time to finish. But I will probably be updating this topic with batches that get done along the way, instead of waiting for all 35 songs to be available. I'll keep you all posted!

Here is my entry. This was quite a challenge for me as this video has a few things that I have not done in a one take song before. The first is the power chords themselves and the second is playing while standing up. I find I have a tendency to bend my wrist too much when sitting down playing power chords so I did it standing to hopefully protect my arthritic wrist. The other challenge was the palm muting. Any tips to help me improve my technique would be great. My apologies Mr Addams or Mr Scott for murdering their song "Summer of 69". I would so love to be able to ROCK! https://youtu.be/6CKF0UB1zfQ p.s. my wrist still looks very bent in the video

Progress update.......... I knew this was not going to be quick if i was going to do it right. I'm through the Session 6 lesson and am working on the Bonus for Session 6. Chord changes.........hard work but worth it. Side note - sometimes you wonder if all the time and work you put in is being noticed. My 8 year old granddaughter told my wife one day while i was locked up practicing......"Pop is getting better! It sounds good". Love that girl!
