Every day when I’m relaxing mum practices the guitar. She told me that she started playing a year ago tomorrow exactly so I thought I would mark the occasion with some videos of her playing. She says it’s not perfect but she is allowed mistakes since she only started a year ago 🙂
Here is her impression of thugz mansion the acoustic version:
She says that was a really hard one to learn to play because you have to use your little finger to do all the twiddly bits as you are barring throughout the song with your index. Here is her impression of a remix of davey graham’s angi:
While this song doesn’t look that hard to play, I know it is difficult. I have heard mum mess it up so many times when practicing.
Me listening when mum was playing. It really relaxes me!
Mum also documented her playing skills over the past year to track her progress – there is some horrendous footage of her playing in her first week. She titled the video “bob dylan – blowin in the wind” which Dad 2 laughs at because it is actually just her slowly and badly strumming E, A and D chords. Maybe another day if I can sneak it past her I will upload the horrific video so you can laugh at it!
