As an aside to all the Guitar, amp and gear acquisitions I thought I’d suggest something a little different – some actually playing and learning!
By no means intended to be a competition, rather the idea is to try to and get a group of us working through the same song so we can lend some encouragement, ask questions, motivate each other and just generally get us playing, recording and sharing to YouTube/soundcloud. Who knows I may actually committed a few songs to memory along the way
As a starting point I’d suggest songs selected from Justin guitar beginners song book- The thought being that most of these offer beginner friendly version as well as a more advanced version and have good quality YouTube instruction to go along with it. The song selection should also appeal to most.
Note- You won’t necessarily need a copy of the song book as the videos walk you through the song. There’s also a couple versions with slightly differing song lists – I’m sure we can help each other out for those missing relevant pages.
For those that are a little more advanced don’t feel limited to a Justin Guitar strum along version, feel free to contribute with other versions or even your own interpretations. Likewise I know there’s a few here starting out with bass/other instruments and some playing with multi-track recorders, so let’s hear what you can create!
This months song (October 2014):
Otis Reading - Sitting on the dock of the bay
