So PLEASE consider letting me see what you are working on and get back in the swing of offering suggestions.<\/p>\n<p>Next I took a little self indulgent time to run through Pat Metheny\u2019s Last Train Home, which is finally coming close to finished. Maybe a lesson in the works if there is some interest.<\/p>\n<p>This week\u2019s new releases included <a href=\"https:\/\/www.totallyguitars.com\/target-songs\/700-otis-redding\/28205-these-arms-of-mine-by-otis-redding-guitar-lesson.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">These Arms Of Mine by Otis Redding<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.totallyguitars.com\/target-songs\/769-ben-harper\/28206-amen-omen-by-ben-harper-guitar-lesson.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ben Harper\u2019s Amen Omen<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.totallyguitars.com\/target-songs\/697-theory-techniques-from-max-rich\/28202-filling-space-between-chords-pt-1-guitar-lesson.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Max\u2019s theory\/technique lesson on Filling Space Between Chords<\/a>, and a new 5-Pack of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.totallyguitars.com\/online-guitar-lessons\/index.php?option=bands&#038;band=-4071\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">songs by Sarah McLachlan<\/a>. We also got back on track with a Fly On The Wall Lesson. This week it was with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.totallyguitars.com\/target-songs\/494-fly-on-the-wall\/28204-hallelujah-fingerpicking-patterns-with-kevin.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Kevin working on Hallelujah<\/a>, which led us into general fingerpicking patters that I consider essential.<\/p>\n<p>In the last part of the update I went into some interpretation ideas on making things more musical by being flexible with the rhythm and separation of bass notes and melody notes that are written on the same beat. I used a bit of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.totallyguitars.com\/target-songs\/1\/3349-romanza-guitar-lesson\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Romanza<\/a> as an example, along with an old composition of mine, First Impression #1, the first of a set of 3 abstract pieces that I recorded for my album On The Horizon.
