This week we covered many bases at TG. The Target Program added Daniel by Elton John, This Old Guitar by Neil Young, and a John Fahey piece in an altered tuning, Horses. The Fahey tune is from an album I highly recommend, After The Ball. Look for it!
Our Fly On The Wall series expanded with a Beginning Fingerpicking Lesson and Jackson Browne's These Days. I always need to thank my students who let the camera roll during their lessons.
We also added a couple new Student Reviews, one featuring an updated version of Fire And Rain by James Taylor, and the other tackling Peter Gabriel's Solsbury Hill.
As I played a bit through the News I ran into that common situation where I need to tell myself to not be so lazy and change the guitar strings before they sound like rubber bands. Two months is too long!
Re: On the Beat - Episode 113 - Weekly Guitar video news wrap up May 4th, 2012 1 Year ago
Neil, your free-form playing is always a treat in these weekly wrap-ups. At 5min into it, you go into the tune "Horizons", by the original Genesis, or if you prefer, Steve Hackett.
A while back, a friend sat me in front of a YouTube video of Hackett playing this and expected me to play it on the spot.
When I mentioned that there were certain complexities to playing guitar, and specifically this tune, he allowed that within 2 or 3 weeks, it should be in the bag.
I'm sure willing to give "Horizons" a good try, with more realistic expectations. I vote yes !
