My first thought was, \u201cyou\u2019ve got to be kidding me\u201d, then I thought again and figured it might be time to revisit it in spite of the fact that I didn\u2019t really have an arrangement I was happy with. I also was not looking forward to the amount of time it would probably take to play it at a reasonable level. Today\u2019s update started with a run through of some of the parts, which turned out better that I had anticipated, and I talked about some of the challenges in the song, along with a few practice technique thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>The result of this was getting completely obsessed with mastering the arrangement, at the expense of getting much else done. I also crossed a bit of a bridge deciding that I could start the lesson even if I couldn&#8217;t play it yet. I figured we all could be working on it simultaneously. At least it has been fun, productive, and a bit exhausting. The rest of the lesson should be up next week sometime.<\/p>\n<p>The other new additions to the Target Program this week were a Fly On The Wall video with Sandy working on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.totallyguitars.com\/target-songs\/494-fly-on-the-wall\/28082-landslide-with-sandy.html\">Landslide<\/a>, which we transposed to a key to better suit her voice, and a lesson from Max on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.totallyguitars.com\/target-songs\/502-nirvana\/28081-heart-shaped-box-nirvana-guitar-lesson.html\">Heart Shaped Box by Nirvana<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from playing through some of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.totallyguitars.com\/target-songs\/518-neil-hogan-instrumentals-\/28083-pipeline-guitar-instrumental-arrangement.html\">Pipeline<\/a>, there was a bit of Sylvia by Focus, and a little improv on Landslide in the key of G. There were also some closing thoughts on unorthodox fingering techniques, particularly switching fingers holding a note after playing it. This is something that is not necessary often but can be really useful on rare occasions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Online guitar lessons from Totally Guitars!
