  Daydream Blues Comment

Kirk,

I don't know if this is the appropriate place to post this on your site, but I wanted to drop you a little note on Daydream Blues.

I feel lessons like Daydream Blues are oh so important because they are useful in getting us to develop the beat and "feel" of music. I have found that the vampy type lessons with added spice (I include Daydream in this category ) have been more helpful to the development of my playing than substantially more difficult fingerstyle pieces.

I think Daydream and other lessons that involve these vampy things are so beneficial because I get to lock in this groove to the point it's in my metabolism. Then, I can add, subtract, or mutate it however I want. They are great things for playing lead lines with.

At any rate, I am ever so grateful for these types of lessons. A fellow I play with has been more impressed with and found my skills more useful from my playing derived from your lessons like this than anything else. While it's pretty cool to play Big Bill Broonzy's "Hey, Hey..", these Lorange vampy lessons have really increased my guitar skill set, allow me the opportunity to be creative in using them, and have so many applications.

I just want to say thanks again. I would welcome many, many more of these!

You're the best.

This lesson is really instructive. I can follow the interval explanation without problem. There are no barre chords or F chords to give me grief and many of the chords/harmonies are completely new to me. I will be able to play this one in time.

Some of those chords/harmonies sounded really weird when I played them through first time, but when I listen to your version it doesn't sound anything like it (room for improvement on my part). It may well be due to getting some notes wrong in my mental lefty conversions! It's so valuabe to have these lessons that teach you a million things in 10 bars. Thanks.

In the recording, I loved the sound (and look) of the guitar. It's so clean, tight, solid and new plus a great tone (which I realise is about 90% from your playing). A real pleasure to listen to.

PS. For those who see the 'beyond' indicator for this one, I think that quite a few 'beginners' could play this one with a bit of practice.
