This of course started on the <a title=\"Totally Guitars Community Forum\" href=\"http:\/\/www.totallyguitars.com\/forum\">Forum <\/a>but it reminded me of a few situations with original pieces, or arrangements, where I was heading in that direction. By the end of today&#8217;s extended and interrupted entry, I struggled through my current gigantic obstacle of a piece, Bethena by Scott Joplin.<\/p>\n<p>A few things that got mentioned leading up to that included this week&#8217;s new content, a suggestion about strumming motion (also from a Forum post), and most importantly, a rediscovery of some great software that was essential to one of this week&#8217;s lessons.<\/p>\n<p>The new releases for the week included Vanessa&#8217;s lesson on <a title=\"Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol - Guitar Lesson\" href=\"http:\/\/www.totallyguitars.com\/target-songs\/667-snow-patrol\/7443-chasing-cars-snow-patrol-guitar-lesson.html\">Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol<\/a>, <a title=\"Angi - Davey Graham - Guitar Lesson\" href=\"http:\/\/www.totallyguitars.com\/target-songs\/666-davey-graham\/7383-angi-davey-graham-guitar-lesson.html\">Davey Graham&#8217;s original version of Angi<\/a>, a <a title=\"Fly on the Wall - Here Comes The Sun with Fred\" href=\"http:\/\/www.totallyguitars.com\/target-songs\/494-fly-on-the-wall\/7357-here-comes-the-sun-with-fred.html\">Fly On The Wall video with Fred<\/a> working on Here Comes The Sun, and a couple segments from recurring the series running now: <a title=\"The Good Life (A Ragtime Excursion) - Neil Hogan  - Guitar Lesson\" href=\"http:\/\/www.totallyguitars.com\/target-songs\/518-neil-hogan-instrumentals-\/7064-the-good-life-a-ragtime-excursion-neil-hogan-guitar-lessons.html\">Section C of The Good Life <\/a>and an <a title=\"Ear Training For Guitarists - Phase II \u2013 Harmony\" href=\"http:\/\/www.totallyguitars.com\/target-homepage\/acoustic-genius-series\/359-ags-theory\/7062-ear-training-for-guitarists-phase-ii-harmony.html\">Ear Training set of videos<\/a> on Seventh Chords.<\/p>\n<p>The software I want to bring back into our discussions is <a title=\"Check out Song Surgeon\" href=\"http:\/\/songsurgeon.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Song Surgeon.<\/a> Last week I really needed to hear Angi slowed down and it did a phenomenal jab, making it very easy to hear exactly what he was doing. During the News today I also mentioned a feature it has that I never really thought I&#8217;d need or use, only to find a situation that arose due to the current Ragtime kick where it was the perfect solution. Anybody with a stash of LPs that are unlikely to ever enter the digital age will appreciate it.
