Crossing the One Minute Barrier

Wow, this feels good.

The song remains the same. The picture is of one of my dog's.

More of Stand by Me

Here's some progress on the previously posted rendition of 'Stand by Me'.

I do feel this sounds quite like it should, albeit the timing problems. So there.

The accompanying pictures were taken from IC818 (Ktm to Del).

A Different Genre

Still working on the basic that I've gotten from Chris and Dave, I have tried my hands (or should I say fingers) at something different.

This here is Metallica's 'my friend of misery'. A little shy of the 30 second mark, but hey, that's close to double the length of my last post, and that too, fumble free.

A little pat on the back, and then I'm off.





p.s. the picture in the last post, the moon.

Stand by me

I liked what I heard so I simply have to subject you to the same. I know the going continues to remain tough but I do hope to convert these 15 seconds in something more concrete.

My pace does continue to be in tandem with my hectic schedule, but since I am making progress, I'm actually quite comfortable with this set-up.

So while I continue with my getting to play a full fledged song, do stand by me.

and in case you're wondering what the picture is, go figure (or simply ask).

Fingers Hurting

As with most other things in life my guitar lessons also continue to progress. While the progress might not be as quick as I'd hope for, I can comfortably say that I am well on my way, with no signs of giving up.

Another reason that I believe my progress is alright is because my fingers have started to hurt (finally).

I now use my thumb and my index fingers to strum (the thumb for the bass, and the index fingers for the chords); right master Chris?

My interference with the music that I listen to continues unfazed, and I'm yet to receive my first neighborly complaint. So there!

Out of Town and Out of Touch

Well, I've been out of town for the last three days, and therefore the inability to strum or write about the strumming. This hiatus is to go on for the next 48 hours, and until then I'll have Mr.Barrett (Syd) keep me company.

Peace Loving Man

That is the track that's playing in the background, with me trying to accompany it. The heavy strumming that you hear is me, the absence of which can be noticed half way through the video.

I know it doesn't sound great, but I also know it's quite bearable. With time, I'm a hopeful fella.


I do know that the quality of the video leaves a lot to be desired; do bear with me.
