First Guitar "Solo"

And here is the audio only version for those who's broadband is as useless as mine!
Awesome I'm upside down!  It took ages to upload so I'll solve sometime in the future but for now enjoy the "bat style" playing.  :)

I wish the strumming was me but it's not!  Soloing has been very difficult for me because there are so many things to think about, timing, note choice, melody, repetition, dynamics just to name a few.  For someone who overthinks even the simplest of things this presents a real issue!  It has taken me months and months of continually practicing to get anywhere with it.  My teacher provided me with a backing track to work over as I had been just going over existing songs which is fun but I needed to start getting serious.  After some feedback on earlier versions this is the solo/song I finally came up with.  It's probably a little simplistic and there are massive technical issues with my playing but I'm very proud of myself and it's another step forward.  One thing I need to come to terms with is hating everything I do because it's not perfect (which it never will be of course) and start appreciating them for what they are and that's a step forward and a small reward for the hard work.  Lot's of hitting the 3rd of the chord going on but hey got to start somewhere and if it's obvious so what!  Enjoy me making a fool of myself for the love of music.

    What's This About?

    One fateful day I decided to get guitar lessons.  6 years later I'm learning four instruments and trying to become a musician and songwriter.  I set a five year goal (Aug 2021) to create a very special song for my 25th wedding anniversary and this is a record of my crazy journey, weird thoughts, strange doodles and unapologetic music obsession!  Enjoy!
