"Thanks! Looking forward to continuing the journey. Been working on learning by ear more recently, but nothing structured. I have found learning tunes by ear to be easier on mandolin than guitar, but I suspect I mentally convinced myself of that…"

Ear Learning
This group is for those interested in learning to play what they hear. All levels welcome - hope the advanced can help the beginners. TAB'ers are welcome too, whether looking to change their ways or simply interested in the discussions.
Dan Forney replied to Cathal Cusack's discussion Of some interest for celtic/trad guitar players? in the group Celtic Flatpicking"Cathal,
Guess you're not at kamp either! Hoping to make it next year...and drag Mark Thatcher along too. I'd be interested in the tune of the month. I'd like to start playing some of the sessions around here (yes, there…"
Dan Forney commented on Bryan Floyd's group Celtic Flatpicking"Dane,
Haven't heard of a vol II. I asked Adam one time (at Kaufman Kamp) why he did it that way for Ragtime Annie and he said he judged that there was no real benefit in terms of making it easier to go to the capo…"
Dan Forney commented on Bryan Floyd's group Celtic Flatpicking"Cool website - thanks for doing that. I will also jump on the Adam Granger book (and CD's). I call it my flatpicking "bible" (ask Mark T.). So many great tunes all in one place - I actually have two copies because the first one got so…"
Dan Forney posted a status"Deployed to Afghanistan with the Navy. Back next summer...maybe in time for kamp! (maybe)."

BARRY CANTRELL said… - Hi Dan,
On picture 4 the man on the left in front with the banjo, is he John Kootz from Charleston, WV? If not, it is such a close likeness I cannot tell the difference.

- Dan,
My office is still in Pulaski and I'm there a couple of times a month. Last month I actually moved from California back to Virginia, but I live in the northern Virginia area and commute down to the office in Pulaski a few times a month to help out down there. So I look forward to your move to the Blacksburg/Radford area. We need to get together and pick!
Thanks,
Dan

Cheryl Lunsford said… - Hi, Dan, Oh, great! Just Great! ..more competition for the guitar contests moving this way! :) I'll hold open a pickin' chair and there should be a few tunes left to play, by the time you arrive! :) Just finished putting out a music fire, someone called desparate for Def Leopard, Hysteria, guitar tabs, and would you believe, ha, it was the pastor from the local church? So funny!

Mark Parchment said… - Hey Dan!
What is the big Left handed guitar pictured in your photos? The sign appears to say Grand Guitar something, but it goes by so fast I can't be certain. Hope stuff is going ok for you.

- Hi Dan. What you are hearing is a recorded rhythm track with a click track. The camera that I am using to make the video is emphasizing the click track and de-emphasizing the rhythm. I record rhythm tracks for songs I'm learning at different speeds. I've found that it's better for me to use one track as a dedicated click track, then when all my tracks are finished I just leave it out of the mix. What you were hearing is one of my practice tracks @ 220 bpm. I was just playing it back on Windows Media Player. I'll post some backup tracks if you want. See if you like them. Later, Gary
