Switch

I'm now doing a shuffle and am learning through both, master Dave and master Chris. Why? Because this way of learning to play the guitar will, I feel, ensure that my basics are in place (especially since that is what master Chris specializes in).

So over the last couple of days I've practiced the 12 bar blues pattern along with the 8 elementary chords, and I must say that they sound like they should.

What I've also started doing is accompanying any music that is playing in the background when I'm not working (however badly that might be). The doggies haven't complained yet, and neither have the neighbors.
