I AM A PREMIUM MEMBER
Hi All – I started the month playing “Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay”, which was fun, but I just wasn’t ‘feeling it’ – you know what I mean? I wanted to submit something though, so I rallied to instead pick up & learn eTude #37 at the last minute. A chill vibe matching my current mood I guess. It’s an easier one from a technical perspective, but what I noticed is how much quicker I can learn a song now than say a year ago (ok, yes it’s pretty short, but still I can tell easier for my brain to understand what’s coming next – the structure).
In my rush to record something quickly before running out the door, I didn’t take the time to set my mic up nicely. I recorded it too softly and I can still hear my sock-footed rhythm toe tapping in the background LOL. If I had recorded it at a higher volume, I could have filtered out the faint toe taps I suppose, but it’s something I’ll remember next time.
Nice job everyone!
