Hopefully we will get things back to normal here at TG soon. This week we had some fun stuff happening on the <a title=\"Totally Guitars Community Forum\" href=\"http:\/\/www.totallyguitars.com\/forum\">Forum<\/a>, it&#8217;s always great to hear people working on <a title=\"Totally Guitars Form - Busking Nick Drake\" href=\"http:\/\/www.totallyguitars.com\/forum\/149-busking-with-tg\/127266-video-for-review-nick-drake-things-behind-the-sun-by-michelew.html\">Nick Drake tunes<\/a> for example. In the course of the usual ramblings I gave some tips on singing songs that are difficult to play, as well as creating melodic solos. I&#8217;m pretty sure a new series will start on that track soon.<\/p>\n<p>We had a couple <a title=\"Totally Guitars Acoustic Snap Shots Video Blog\" href=\"http:\/\/www.totallyguitars.com\/acousticsnapshots\/\">Acoustic Snapshots <\/a>this week, and today started a drip feed lesson on <a title=\"Prelude In D Minor by J.S. Bach - Classical Guitar Lesson\" href=\"http:\/\/www.totallyguitars.com\/target-songs\/614-classical-guitar\/8590-prelude-in-d-minor-by-j-s-bach-classical-guitar-lesson.html\">J.S. Bach&#8217;s Prelude In D Minor<\/a>. This was a piece that I have been trying to get to for over a year and there were just too many things to consider and possible fingerings to explore to rush into it.<\/p>\n<p>After running through some of the recent highlights I figured I should just take Frank Zappa&#8217;s advice when he said &#8220;Shut Up And Play&#8230;&#8221;, so the end was a random improv which included some familiar themes. I hope you enjoy it.<\/p>\n<p>Stay Tuned &amp; In Touch,<\/p>\n<p>Neil<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quality Online Guitar Lessons from Totally Guitars Totally Guitars Weekly News Podcast Welcome to the New Year!
