Got my USB chord today to connect amp directly to computer. No more going through a mic. I think it sounds much clearer now. What do you think?

Thanks @LilyoftheValley and @Jinx . The playing of the song is a little faster than it should be but it was mostly just to test sound quality of amp with direct connection. I think it’s much clearer than it was with mic.

I recently discovered the enjoyment of watching a pro guitarist in concert. Joe Bonomasa and Jeff Beck and Xuefei Yang are all on YouTube. They are wizards. A guitar is a toy in their hands.

Yes. I can play it more according to the tempo of the actual song , but I’m more likely to make mistakes if I slow down. It would probably help if it were a song that I know well, outside of playing instead of just a song I know mostly from playing and have to go by indicators of pauses in notation. Speed and tempo are things I need to work on.

good…I didn’t want to offend you…I speak truth when helping a beginner…if you don’t help them see what they are doing wrong they won’t learn.

yeah, it’s all good. My instructor informs me on every song that I play too fast. I am aware of it. I learn the notes first before working on speed and pauses to full effect. Been playing that song for 2 weeks. Plan on perfecting it.

@Bowens I can hear the improvement in fingering the notes. Sounds great.

Thanks @anon10627598 . Yes, making progress. I’m going to have a real problem with notes on 4th finger/pinky though. I don’t have the reach. Don’t know how I’m going to overcome this issue.

Have you tried finger picks. Yeah it’s me Michigan. I was ready for something new. The pinky is the hardest. Do you got a squishy ball that you could use to “toughen” up those digits? That was what the teacher that I had me do long long ago.

yeah, probably not a bad Idea. I’m also trying finger stretching on strings as well. I had ulnar neuritis in that hand/arm from a manufacturing job in my 20’s, so I’m not sure how much I want to push exertive repetition in that hand. It hasnt bothered me for awhile but it could come back.

" What is ulnar neuritis? Ulnar neuritis, or cubital tunnel syndrome, is inflammation of the ulnar nerve in the arm that results in numbness or weakness in the hand . The ulnar nerve is more commonly thought of as the “funny bone” and gives feeling to the little finger and half of the ring finger."
