When Chris and I started this idea (right hand players learning to play left-handed) the plan was one recording a week. That has been a bit ambitious, mainly due to other things needing to be done. So this thread is called Part 2 and not Week 2 as planned.
I haven't played righty since Jan 1 and I have some nice beginner's callouses which helps. Here is my second recording. This one is on my nylon string guitar with a mic + audio interface (thanks Tekker and Santa).
Things I was trying to achieve:
- finding the right notes (more or less)
- playing them in time and evenly (not so good),
- playing them cleanly (still some buzz especially on high e string from not holding the string down well enough
)
Overall: a bit 'plodding' but I don't think you could hear the drops of sweat dripping (or the sigh of relief at the end),
Where is Chris you may ask...............?? Good question
This is based on Kirk's Easy Version of Silent Night. I added a few things here or there (it just happened) but when I just looked at his lesson again, I see I have missed out that really cool F#minor at bar 23. Too late now, here goes......
