There were examples of pieces that require many listenings to in order to get a grip on, most of which were mine, a brief rundown of happening this week at TG and <a title=\"International Guitar Camp Website\" href=\"http:\/\/internationalguitarcamp.com\/\">IGC news,<\/a> and a couple songs that really materialized out of nowhere. It was great to see some video from Larry, his documentary on the genesis of TG, as well as the <a title=\"International Guitar Camp Highlights\" href=\"http:\/\/www.totallyguitars.com\/forum\/159-international-guitar-camp\/128083-igc-2014-highlights-video-now-here.html\">IGC Highlights<\/a>. I also am really happy to see the participation in out Songwriting Projects. I am still a little behind in the structured series I am working on for everybody but the little progressions and melodies videos may be increasing soon. I would particularly like to see some original progressions from the <a title=\"Totally Guitars Community Page\" href=\"http:\/\/www.totallyguitars.com\/community\">TG Community<\/a>, with or without melodies, that others could join in on as well.<\/p>\n<p>The main new stuff this week included <a title=\"Songwriting Collaboration #2 - Free Collaboration Project\" href=\"http:\/\/www.totallyguitars.com\/target-songs\/675-songwriting\/9664-songwriting-collaboration-2-free-collaboration-project.html\">Songwriting Collaboration #2,<\/a> Fred progressing on <a title=\"Fly on the Wall - Here Comes The Sun, A Few Months Later with Fred\" href=\"http:\/\/www.totallyguitars.com\/target-songs\/494-fly-on-the-wall\/9665-here-comes-the-sun-a-few-months-later-with-fred.html\">Here Comes The Sun<\/a>, and, after some requests some of you might regret, the start of a <a title=\"Heliotrope Bouquet - Scott Joplin - Guitar Lessons\" href=\"http:\/\/www.totallyguitars.com\/target-songs\/518-neil-hogan-instrumentals-\/9666-heliotrope-bouquet-scott-joplin-neil-hogan.html\">lesson on Heliotrope Bouquet<\/a>. I have mentioned before that one of the difficulties with Classic Ragtime is the length. Most rags are 4 parts, every one of which could be considered a mini-masterpiece by itself. The only way to approach them for most people is in very small doses, maybe even a measure at a time. On the other hand, each section is usually sixteen measures but might have quite a few repeated, and few that might be relatively easy. I hope to hear a little feedback soon as to how folks are doing with this beautiful piece.<\/p>\n<p>Other than Leonard Bernstein and John Renbourn, I think that was about it for February 20.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn to Play Guitar With TotallyGuitars.com Totally Guitars News Podcast Like usual this week, The News started without a plan, and went all over the place.
