15 months ago it didn’t cross my mind I’d be playing the intro and verse to Sweet Home Alabama. Still practice and cleanup to do with it. But I’m very pleased with where I am this early in so I might as well embarrass myself.?

You didn't embarrass yourself at all. That point at which, after starting to learn, you feel like you are making music is great, isn't it?!  Thanks for sharing this.

Totally agree... Recording yourself like you have done is very good too.. you can see and hear your technique ...keep it up!

Thanks. To all of you.

The sole purpose of recording is the watch and hear it. A friend of mine watched to hear me. So I decided to let him see it. After that I decided what the heck. Let others see it as well. My wife is the only one who mostly hears me. 

I practice at work during breaks and work. But it’s that electric unplugged. So they don’t hear it as much. 

I’ll have to thank my 5 years experience dancing for the help in rhythm. That part I catch on to pretty quick. And it takes as long to get your feet to do what you want as it does your fingers.

Yes it is great! Last night I learned a little of Wonderful Tonight by Clapton.

decided I’d choose that as my next easy song. I work on an easy and hard one together. Of course the song in the video has been my only hard one. That has taken 2 1/2 months. Still like 3 more parts to the song.

anyway last night I made my way through the main riff of Wonderful Tonight a few times. Then just smiled as I got the rhythm decent. Fastest I’ve ever learned a riff.

Well done, Mike. Recording yourself is an essential part in the learning process.

Great job! I would have recognized it even you hadn't told me what you were playing, which I think is one of those early musical hurdles. lol

Nice strat!
