Location: Portland, OR | I agree. I don't play well either. Never did electric rock stuff. But it is the function of how well you listen to what's going on around you. What I like to do is figure out what isn't there whether it's a level of harmony or finger or other picking, and judge what will sound good with the music. You have to listen. |

Thanks for the welcome, thanks everyone.
Where would I list all the one's I have?
I know some people list them in the signature space, but is there a topic just for that?

Location: Wichita, KS | Iffy said: One thing I've learned at the Jams is that almost everyone 'jamming' has their own strum pattern for any particular song. When I start to concentrate on someone's pattern, I lose my 'place' in the song. I recently discovered this myself. I just started playing with a couple of fellows. None of us have ever played in a band before. One of the songs we're working on is "Down on the Corner" by CCR. I've had to work hard to ignore the way I usually play it and stick with their groove.
Not really a musician. I'm just a strummer. |
