Uptown, Downtown tryouts.
Thought I’d kick off some feedback. Trying to mix up these rhythm figures and stay in time! Alesis drum machine blues setting. Definately shuffle to my ear. 100bpm. Bit slow? Trying for staccato using some left hand muting. Didn’t try the rake, which is a nice technique, so maybe cover that again for me Ben? How are you muting? Close up might help.

Great playing @Iain Brown! Here's your feedback and I hope this is helpful.
Today’s Hangout
Hey guys, looking forward to catching up later for our live hangout 🤘 6pm UK time. I’m thinking of teaching a little something from the course I’m in the process of creating. How does that sound? Or let me know if you have anything you want to chat about. Catch you soon 👍
What do you think?
So in the next couple of weeks, I'm going to start creating my first mini course. I've decided to do a mini course, rather than one HUGE course, as I think everyone struggles with different things, so if I can create mini courses that focus on just ONE particular problem, students will have more choice of which problem they want to focus on, without getting overwhelmed with a load of unnecessary information. These courses can then be laser-focused and super specific. I've come up with a bunch of ideas and wanted to get your thoughts on which sound the most interesting or the most useful. I'd like to eventually run these mini-courses as short workshops, so maybe once I've created the course, you guys can dive into them, and then we can do a short 4-week live bootcamp on the topic. I think you can vote for more than 1, and if you have any thoughts on this or additional ideas, let me know in the comments 👍 NB: Here are some other options that didn't fit in the poll: 11. Play awesome blues guitar by yourself (without a band) 12. Build your own blues loop to practice over 13. How to learn blues licks, use them, (and never forget them!) 14. How to develop your blues vocabulary (without learning 100 different licks!) 15. Spice up your minor blues solos at your next jam 16. Must know theory for blues guitarists that you can use (and that’s actually fun to learn) 17. How to improve your blues phrasing (without more scales, notes, or theory!)

@Gary Sanz your face in this photo Gary is superb! You look so surprised to have met him. Would love to see him play if he comes over to the UK sometime.

@Ian Williams so happy the blues bootcamp we did gave you the confidence to join a band mate! That’s what music is all about, right? Playing with others 🤘
