Getting a recording of the new piece, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.totallyguitars.com\/forum\/143-acoustic-snapshots\/138179-ggacoustic-snapshots-episode-168-remember--solo-guitar-composition-by-neil-hogan.html\">Remember<\/a>, may have freed me up to rejoin the real world. Although, who\u2019s to say which is \u2018real\u2019? Today\u2019s News included a bit of insight into a few ways that the creative process works for me. Sometimes I feel like I am in charge and sometimes not at all in control. It can be very strange at times.<\/p>\n<p>I played some pieces at the beginning, some of which started with a similar path, but all of which remind me of important people in my life. By the end of today\u2019s video (a bit longer than usual) I talked about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.totallyguitars.com\/forum\/4-general-acoustic-guitar-discussion-\/138174-string-theory-and-other-stuff.html\">string breaking possibilities<\/a>, my general recording set up (which differs from situation to situation), and about composing from quite a few different angles. I hope it does not come off as too self-indulgent.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, while I was occupied elsewhere, we had some great lessons by my colleagues, Vanessa and Max, as well as a look at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.totallyguitars.com\/target-songs\/494-fly-on-the-wall\/27906-stormy-with-fred.html\">Fred working on Stormy<\/a>, by The Classics IV. That lessons had some good ideas on practicing unusual, or uncomfortable finger changes.<\/p>\n<p>Vanessa brought us <a href=\"http:\/\/www.totallyguitars.com\/target-songs\/435-train\/27908-drops-of-jupiter-train-guitar-lesson.html\">Drops Of Jupiter by Train<\/a>, and Max dipped into the Mumford &#038; Sons catalog with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.totallyguitars.com\/target-songs\/578-mumford-sons\/27907-i-will-wait-mumford-and-sons-guitar-lesson.html\">I Will Wait<\/a>. Both of these have interesting and challenging strumming techniques going on.<\/p>\n<p>Next week I hope to finish some of the projects on my list, most of which have been hinted at over the last few weeks, then on to more fun and exciting lessons\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Stay Tuned &#038; In Touch,<\/p>\n<p>Neil<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn To Play The Acoustic Guitar with the online guitars lessons from Totally Guitars!
