  1. It's interesting where one gets inspiration from. honestly I wasn't impacted by the cancer news of Kate (or any of the Royal's) which appears you have. You think I would since I'm Canadian and we have more ties to England than south of the border. I was walking the dog the other day and as I crossed over the bridge like I've done a billion times in the 33 yrs I've lived here, the spring run-off has swollen the little creek to a river now 10 ft deep. As I walked home (yes I still had the dog with me) the lyrics for "I'm Just a Small Fish in a Deep River" came to me. wrote it down once I arrived home. Yes it's going to be a 'standard' 12 bar blues, call'n'response. Just need some time to pick a key and play it. What kind of chords and rhythm progression did you use?
  2. You’re really rock’n the town (I asked my guitar instructor if he knows of a guitar people just jamming other than bars, here’s hoping he starts one, said he might)
  3. nothing like playing live. I learned quite a bit (of what not to do ) in my last years 'rock night' out. Still looking for a good venue for playing (other than going back to church strum'n'sing) Hearing yourself is very important and sometimes the environment doesn't help (drummers, PA , etc) I'd say you're willing to go back to your venue but I'm not so gung ho to go back to the venue I was at
  4. @Steve Krenz @DianeB we have any idea how many are registered for this conference yet?
  5. great you have a guitar buddy to play with, and not just walking in cold to play with someone for the first time
  6. on Steve's YouTube Channel, videos go back "only" 8 years and the Live side of videos go back 6 yrs just have to keep scrolling down.. there's probably something each of us should rewatch
  7. @Gary Nelson I’ve had the LMG Fingerstyle course since it came out, never used it. my LMG Session 10 Cannon in D was like , ok we know what you’re playing but I never stayed on it to make it good guess April 2024 is my chance now
  8. so I started the new title in this section. Steve's GG Finger-Style Fall Retreat Oct17-20 2024 (not conflicting with Halloween this year) gx169.infusionsoft.app/app/storeFront/showProductDetail?productId=366 now with BIG in trepidation I registered for this. But after the wife for the third year in a row, being able to hang out in her friends condo in Florida for a week or two and I get zero trips. I made it a point to at least have one trip this year. And not being a big finger style guy.. yeah I have a pattern I fall back on for pretty much everything. Be it Dust in the Wind or O Holy Night. I'm going.. I have a hotel booked for Tue Oct 15 to Thur Oct 17.. and plan to 'tire kick' at Gruhn's, Carter's and Gibson Garage on Oct 16th.. Still have to book my flights yet. I'm in the middle of live teacher lessons on Tues nights that my son is paying for (twist.. child pays for parents lessons LoL). But I'm not on finger style.. we're cleaning up my rock ambitions. when the paid lessons end at the end of March; I will tackle Steve's LMG Finger Style course.. so I will have only 5 short months to at least get to a reasonable 'competency' level. Oh no pressure...
  9. I think there was a 2yr pause with the transition from Legacy to Guitar Gathering Hardly wait to hear what Steve can put together as hmmm Guitar Gathering ver 4 (I think?) since the wife has gone a number of trips with her friends, let’s see if I can weasel a trip to Nashville
  10. I believe I have heard of surgery similar to this as they need to make sure they’re not just making a mess by disconnecting part of the brain. if it was me, I wouldn’t know how to play that many songs 🫣
  11. You’ve never heard the best version done by Al
  12. Or Johnny Hiland pork chop fingers. well Maddie (and Molly) will play guitar better than I can ever dream of . On these “talk shows “ you never really get to hear the band, really only for the studio audience. as for SNL . The opening monologue is usually quite boring and usually fast forward it; as most of the show till Weekend Updates , (but as a guitarist, I always check of the band in back , and Maddie) as for these “Famous “ musical guests , I’m stunned at how poor the production/performance is from pre-recorded sound tracks of the musician guests. think omg. I have to sound better
  13. George and Eric traded back n forth a few times Eric being on While My Guitar Gently Weeps they also traded wife Patty Boyd a few times Eddie Van Halen wasn’t credited on Beat It and never received money for it as he wasn’t allowed by the band to play out. He did it for free
  14. Or flying a helicopter into the side of a ski hill
  15. @Plantsman13 if memory serves me correctly; Ovation Guitars have had a bowled back of fibre glass, which intensive purposes is plastic and they have a huge following. ps, I’ve seen whole solid body electric made of clear plastic resin as well
  16. What’s more surprising is Buddy Guy’s net worth is “only” 2.5 million
  17. @Cuong Dang you’ll find LMG a fluid course from session 1-9 this gives you advanced basic player Session 10-20 takes your basic principles and you apply knowledge to learn as Steve calls them “tools for your music bag” you have to work Cannon in D via the instruction book following the assigned finger pattern, don’t rely on the video to follow along
  18. @Cuong Dang the music is how it’s played , the tab is more the picking fingers than it is the “normal “ TAB note music Do you have the learning guide manual pdf?
  19. @Nancy Lawing just to “hijack” the mandolin thread. i ended up doing ukulele and have a 12 song set that i do. But no tulips for me
  20. I tried a mandolin at the store once. Found fretboard a little too tight at the time but obviously people can play them , I’d have to retry
  21. @Cuong Dang the Rock Hits wasn’t made by Steve, it’s a mix of lessons that were on the Gibson learning site at one time. but the Song Hits is produced by Steve and is a very good companion to the main course (also purchased in Steve’s store link at the top) only caveat is Hit Me With Your Best Shot, Steve had to put the long version in Session 1 due to royalties of the song he doesn’t expect someone in Session 1 to play the full version of the song there
