Everybody survived the food, fun, and family festivities of last week?
(Did you see the Google Doodle on Thanksgiving? It was a very cute animation of some woodland creatures assembling for a potluck meal, and the one critter who doesn't bring a dish thwarts the faux pas by whipping out a banjo and supplying some music! It's sweeter than pie and it won't make you fat!)
So Thursday's G2R had the night off, but I hope y'all drank just as many beers as you would've if we'd convened.
Saturday's Guitar 2 class dragged it's potato-and-pie-filled self through a terrific rendition of Rocket Man, which gave us the chance to learn some new minor 7th chords and breakdown some complex vocal phrasing. Far out! We also workshopped (aka "helped the teacher get ready for Second Half") a Nick Lowe tune called "Lately, I've Let Things Slide," which gave us a leg up on the Twin Spin I brought in!
And finally, Guitar 1 took a week to reflect on just how far we've come in a short time. We played through the whole catalog of the coursepack we've tackled thus far--minus John Denver. Sorry! That plane has left the terminal--and realized that we sure do know a whole lot of chords and strumming patterns. It's exhausting to play through them all back to back like that! We also chatted some about playing by ear, staying relaxed in our strumming, and experimentation. I'm really enjoying this journey with you guys! You ask such great questions!
