I wonder why so many dont post their progress i.e. record themselves then share?

After all this is the best forum to learn and get feedback. Very safe and positive and uplifting.

What I look for MOST OF ALL in a performance is if the player is playing from the heart!  That, to me is what counts ,  much more than how fast, whether they were technically perfect , or if they got the tone right etc!

Heart felt music lifts me more than any other.

So I encourage everyone to post their performances regardless of "level" or prowess,  just play from the heart and share with your fellow muso's.  Its very rewarding in unexpected ways. 😊

The heart, you nailed it.

OK, I'll post something.  There's no backing track to it. On this I wanted to try my best to get a feel , an expression of my thoughts, but I wanted to try to put "movement" into it. I'm getting there, at least I hope so.

 

Please comment, thanks guys.

And that's how you do it!.  That had some great Q & A moments,  add a double Bass and drums and you've got yourself a jazzy number there young fella!

It had a natural rhythm of its own,  I found myself tapping my foot in time .

You have the muse within you,  nice heart felt playing! 😀

Thanks Robert.  Need to get back to that "daily log" , it really is important to stay on course. Again, thanks for all the effort you've been putting into this site.
