I've been toying with the 2600+ kilometer road trip (vs flying) to next years Gathering 2020 and staying in the dorm, but the wife also tossed out there that she's "not staying in a 'dorm' , if we're going to Nashville next year .. especially if it's lined up with NAMM again." for some reason she loved NAMM day that would put it in July 9-11 range.. crossing my fingers..

@DianeB if it was me, a choice of Hattie B and Chewy's across the street I take Chewy's

Jim Most of us have brought over all the good stuff from the old site. There's a Learn and Master Session break out. The chat function great of any of the pages. Check Steve's store from the top menu He's done some great 20 min work out videos you'll want to get Btw Steve's Guitar Gathering confrence is starting today in Nashville for about 60 lucky people that made the trip. It will be a couple of weeks before Steve does live lessons

Tricky. The finger style course was an add-on course to expand into the finger style once you've hit Sesson 10 in the main Learn and Master Guitar course. It expects you to know the barre chords besides the basic chords and some theory taught in the early main LMG course. Do yourself a favor. buy the "main" Learn and Master Guitar Course. (P.s. many of the regulars might not post this week as 70 execited guitar players are headed to Nashville this week for Steve's Guitar Gathering. 2019. )

It's amazing how have with grip up, when we make a mistake and gets anxious. Might have to adjust your seating and position of the guitar, turn the neck up a bit. I use a strap, sitting or standing

@Twalumba the idea of Session 1 is not to confidently play the C and G7 chords.. its' only there to get your hands in coordination with each other opening and closing. that's why Session 1 is a 1 to 2 week work period. there will be lots of time to play those chords in the coming Sessions; the 'real' learning starts in Session 2

I had recorded idol with intention of watching. Didn't happen. Deleted the episodes from my pvr

LMG session 10, Is there a minimal way to finger the chords to Cannon in D, to smooth/speed it up

Always Backaxe... I've got one http://www.backaxe.com

Thanks Neil When I get home, (and rested) I'll check it out, Long hard day of moving, I should have called Ron to help since I'm in the "Hammer"

The truss rod adjustment is only for the middle of the neck, Frets 4-9 (max 12th) Truss rod should have little to no effect, above the 12th fret First change your strings. Test again Next get hard card (credit??) That covers 3 frets at a time, start at the 11th to 13 fret. See if card sits flat Next got to 12-14, then 13-15, etc Looking for the card to sit flat and not rock like a teeter totter, If it doesn't rock the frets are probably level If it's a bolt on neck you may need to re-shim If it's a set neck you may need slightly higher saddle / bridge height

melody lines are typically in the music notation and the finger style playing is still the chord name above the music notation. only when you get much deeper in playing you can combine into a 'chord melody' but for most of us, just finger style of the chord will make it sound nice.

I think I'm for that hiding out in thd outback part

How do you develop a smoothness and fluidity to playing.

As it's well documented here on the forum, I play on my lunch break in my car, and in our van at the mall when the wife goes shopping for yet... But I have major difficulty practicing at night, but try my best

I've been lucky we have 2 books one for keyboard one for guitar, so I get the chords on top . And most times a capo chord as well. Yes chord a beat happens very often See my other post on where I started playing Dm in stead of Dm7 in inadvertantly. Has view of page 1 and 2, a good example of a chord a beat Now I'm going to have to look closely at my music

Hold over from those classical people Name of the fingers in Spanish: pulgar, indice, medio, and anular. P=Thumb I= Index M=middle A= ring

well I'm in choir yesterday.. we're playing along one of the 'standards' we do weekly.. and I'm reading the chords as I normally would.. I get to page 2, and we're playing along. then what jumps out at me.. a Dm .. well Dm it 's not hard.. but my brain goes.. "WAIT!!!!.. What have you done for the past number of years with this song.. How long have you been playing this song wrong???" of course we're scooting along at 4/4 march tempo of 95+ bpm.. and I'm now scrambling to keep up with the others (which keeping time in our group is a struggle on it's best day) so you ask .. what did I do? I've attached part of Page 1 and part of Page 2 if you notice I've circled a bunch of Dm7's.. and then there is lowly Dm on Page 2.. don't know when I started the 'practice' of only playing a Dm and not the Dm7 in the song.. but I realize my hand is only playing Dm all the way through all the pages of this song. Now I'm going to have to concentrait just a bit more to 're-train' my hands to play the Dm7 in this song. and Page 2

looks like production grade level.. Chris Martin would be impressed

guess I'll have to wait till it's out somehow else.. don't have Netflix

isn't that the one that you can buy more than one, and group them with the app so everyone in the "band" can be at the same tempo?

I posted the 7 guitars he had for sale in the chat feed. All I can say is, tell him come back anytime

Diane is a great contributor to posts and definitely a contributor to the Guitar Gathering conference. Delete them as you see them Diane 😉

I use my voice recorder app on my phone, not video. I put it on my music stand.

I was more 'introduced' to the CAGED system this spring (although it probably shouldn't be under the Barre Chord section) my instructor was trying to get me on the fly changing a song by capo'ing a fret and then thinking of what chord I needed to play. say I capo 5, then what cord (aka CAGED) would I use, then in that case, an open A cord shape, using the D from the capo'd 5th fret as the root. a open G shaped chord with a capo on the 5th fret is a C. etc. the trick with the CAGED system as not thinking your open chords are solid, D chord in first position is a D. but with a Capo on 5 that D chord shape is now a G. The CAGED system does have merit if you're not going to barre the chord as taught in Session 7 and just use a capo as the 'new' nut. example: here is a song I play weekly in church. note I put a capo reference for Capo 1 and Capo 3 in the first barre you're not playing a C or a D depending on the Capo , you're still playing an Eb even if the chord looks like a open C chord you're playing. cause of the capo on the 1st fret, it's an Eb same with the Gm in open.. it's a F#m shape or a Em shape in bar 3, but those chords F#m and Em are just shapes.. its still a Gm sounding chord (my instructor doesn't want me to write the Capo chords in above as I did, but to think of them in my head.. on the fly)
