I'm really looking forward to this series in the class. I've tackled this one before and always been amazed at how good you can make it sound. Now I get 3 months to work on it? Awesome!

The recent free masterclass was excellent; definitely signing-up. Best blues tuition out there.

[@ravirajedwards3942]

Looking forward to learn this tune from fundamental to all the way with walking bass. I have a few walking bass lines working on the tune How Long Blues and love it. Thanks!

[@FretboardConfidential]

Nice! Keep it up, Ravi :-)

[@sideman7117]

That rings my bell! I’ll be in there.

[@abrahamdavidsmith]

This is exactly what I needed.

[@solargalsolargal]

Fabulous

Isn’t a sixth six notes up from a tone, not down? I’m confused by this

[@FretboardConfidential]

You can reckon it either way: a note can be a sixth down from a particular pitch, or a sixth up. So, for example, starting on the note C, you could go up a sixth, to the note A. Or, you could go down a sixth, and wind up on the note E. A sixth is a distance, not a direction, which makes it kind of like a measurement: someone could be six inches taller than you, or six inches shorter. Up or down, you're still talking about the same thing, a difference of six inches.

[@ChedRatner]

@@FretboardConfidential OK, that makes sense. Thanks for clarifying

[@danedwards3738]

But in this case, it's a sixth up (B to G# for instance) I think, not down as stated.

Been strumming chords for decades, Is it too late to learn Fingerstyle at 60 years old? 🧐

[@ravirajedwards3942]

Nope! I am way older than you.😂

[@johnp-mh2pk]

I only wish I had started at 60! A decent share of the membership seems to be aging boomers.

[@LM5023]

I am starting at 80 years old!

[@JimB802]

I started to learn guitar when I retired in March of 2019 and joined Figerstyle 5 August, 2020, (wished that I joined sooner!) At 71 YO I can now play the fundamental, vamps, and sometimes the embellished versions. So to answer your questions: Yes you can teach and old dog new tricks!!!!😄

[@ken25C]

I'm 20 years older than you - so no - it's not too late !
