I managed to get all the chord lessons done. As usual, it was a not entirely convincing performance but I'm sure there will be plenty more chances to reinforce what I've learned later.
The next set of lessons are hammer-ons and pull-offs. I did the hammer-ons with little difficulty but didn't really understand what I was supposed to do for the pull-offs, the instructions weren't very clear. A quick search on YouTube turned up a number of videos explaining it though so I'll have another go later.
Cool blog! Brilliant idea to learn through a computer game. I need to ask a silly question -you are learning on a real guitar not those coloured button Guitar Hero things? How does the game show you what to do? I've never seen Rock Band 3 so I'm having trouble imagining it.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, keep going. Looking forward to the next update.

Hi Sonny Boy, thanks for dropping by, it's good to see you. I didn't think anyone else was reading any of this :)
ReplyDeleteThe post I originally wrote that explained the mechanics got lost thanks to some 'technical difficulties'. I'll put up another post with some pictures that should make things clearer.
Thanks for the encouragement!
