That's really great Joe. 😬 Harmonious and tightly played. Fantastic  job. 

Thanks Craig.  I think my thoughts are getting a bit more clearer and seems to me you noticed it in my playing on this on.  The challenge for me was to learn the notes.  Not really sure, but I think the tune was in the Key of D  and I learned that C# and F# are in that key.  Finally, with Roberts lessons I realize that he is letting us think for ourselves , but luckily he (Robert) is very kind with his time and assists us when we ask for help.

I like the use of a backing track to keep timing honest and measured (no pun intended).  Good work ye honky tonker!  And all the better for sharing here with the MGA.  Cheers.

Thanks Clayton.  Robert is right I should start using backing tracks more often.

July 19, 2019

Today I'm starting with the backing track of "Country Shuffle w/piano.

I first want to get a feel for the timing and rhythm by stomping my foot.  LOL

Next is to get the root (bass note ) of the chords

Next is figure out the chords then check with Robert if my chords are correct.

Raining today so I'll be in all day.

stay tune

Update:

I think the backing track in is the key of G

The notes are:  G  A  B  C  D  E  F#

I'm having difficulty in getting the bass down, but I do hear the  G  C  D  and possibly the E note.

Am I correct on this for the bass?

OK, need a bit of help on the chords.

I hear  a  G  C  D  and maybe a G minor . 

Thanks Robert for the like, so I guess I got the tune in the right Key of G?

Is the G minor chord right?

I might not be able to play the rhythm on this one, but I'm getting the notes down on the lead.

Something sounds a bit different on a Minor  (hope I'm right) , haven't figured out which note plays well with it.

Raining today again, typhoon weather. So I got all day to work on it.

Making pizza again today.  yippy 😀 

Well, off to the wife's doctor.  Be back later in the day I guess.   Always something pops up.

OK, well I did what I felt was my best take on this one: Country Shuffle with piano , backing track

So here it is folks.  I like how Robert said, hey Joe, time to play along with backing tracks.

That advice really helps my ears. Although I made a lot of wrong notes here and there, just need more practice and more practice.  But its really for me anyway, is just to have fun.

Oh, if you use the earphones, it sounds kind of cool   lol

Seems the file was too big so I had to put it in Box.com

Thanks for listening.

Hey Joe that's cool! Are you playing two lead guitars? Thanks for sharing!

Here is the chord sheet for you!

Wow Joe you are really progressing.  I love the tone and the separate channels in the headphones is awesome.  Well done mate!  Keep 'em coming!

Thanks Robert for the chord sheet.  I missed the G7 chord, Am , Cm and the E7, I know that is where my wrong notes were.  Dang it.

I'm just using one guitar on this recording and 2 tracks, the bt and the guitar track. 

Well, time to either do a lesson or back to your backing tracks, which I'm enjoying very much.

I like country music, but willing to try anything just to get the experience.

Again, thank you for your kind words.

Hi Craig

Hey! I'm so happy to hear that you feel I'm progressing, that is my goal here on MGA.  I really missed a lot of right notes on this one, but I practiced it enough to where I better just record my practicing and post it.

As you notice, there were 3 different tones though out this recording, but just one guitar. Getting a little better now using Reaper too.  LOL

I'll do my best to keep them coming.

Again, thank you.

5. Jazz Blues Comping 2

Today started on  : Chord Progression 3

I did notice that the A7 chord had to voice positions on the lesson and pdf.  I thought the A7 sounded better at the 12 fret then the 5th fret.

Getting much faster and cleaner sound now. Do need to spend much more time on this course.

Really a great course.

Worked on Jazzified Country lick. Got it memorized but I lack the rhythm to make it sound good.  Hopefully with more time on it I'll get it up to speed.

Oct. 3 2019

I recorded Jazzisfied Country lick at 50 bpm. Getting there. Did smooth it out a bit from yesterday.
