Irwin1957 Guitar Journey.
Lost Cause, Edition 1, 120 bpm.
Greetings to all. To provide some background, during my One on One lessons with Nate, we set a goal of having this song, Beck's "Lost Cause", pretty much nailed by years end. I'm posting this as edition one, and I will add additional videos to further chart my progress. This is the full song, at 120 bpm, about 1:40. I think my timing has improved, and I feel very comfortable with my fingerstyle technique. It feels very natural to me. It truly reinforces that Fingerstyle on Acoustic is absolutely the Guitar direction I want to pursue. Some challenges have been the thumb wrapping around the low E string, some string buzzing, and muting some strings during chord transitions. Doing my best to work through it. Thanks so much in advance for viewing, and any observations and constructive criticism are most welcome.
Greetings to all, and my apologies for being out of touch for a bit. Trying to rectify that now, and will peruse the Forum for all I've missed. Have to learn this new interface here; I know Nate said it takes a little getting used to. Meanwhile, I have still been playing, and posting a song here for the Livestream next Thursday. I've played this one in the past, but it popped in my head and I became obsessed with it. You Are Free, by Joseph Arthur. Love the lyrics, and I tried to do them justice. Thanks Fam.
