Let's share recordings if you guys have some Any instrument is allowed I know for certain that we have a very talented piano player here - verciazghra or Vince You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I wonder what instrument you will choose next time? I don't have any recordings at this time to share and because it's not funny anymore for me to play at piano (it's not something special for me), when I will go to the rehearsal room I will record something at drums. It will be very fun because I'm a little aggressive when I am hitting drums You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Is that a 6 string banjo with frets that resembles a regular guitar? I'm not a banjo expert by no means How is banjo tuned? Once a band we were traveling with in a bus to gigs played banjo whole night in such a way that basically it emulates the vocal lines to famous songs. I can tell you, as much as it is fun at the beginning - it can start to get on your nerves in this arrangement. Especially if you are trying to sleep Besides bass as a primary instrument, I can on the basic level play the guitar and get around the piano. From more "exotic" instruments, I did try to learn how to play the harmonica and it was very fun. I managed to play the "Love me do" song intro by the Beatles You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I managed to play the "Love me do" song intro by the Beatles Hehe - it's actually a banjo guitar It's tuned like a regular guitar, but has 6 strings instead of 4, the body and sound properties of a banjo and an active pickup. Pretty darn amazing instrument At first I was very scared to say yes to the challenge as I was going away from home and had nothing but this instrument, my laptop and limited access to the internet. But when I realized it's just like playing the guitar, it took me about 1 hour and a half to sort out what I would play and then rehearsing it each evening a few times with the recording so that I may be able to perform relaxed. I also rehearsed on a barstool and on a normal stool so that I would be used to both postures - I had no clue on what I would be seated onstage. About the harmonica... I CAN PLAY THE EXACT SAME THING AS YOU or at least I could back in 2003 when I received mine as a gift As many of you guys already know, I am also a vocalist and aside Days of Confusion, I enjoy playing acoustic re-orchestrated cover versions of famous songs. I will probably start recording them and making little videos that I will upload on my Youtube channel. So far, I decided to show you a little sample No fancy video editing, as I was simply curious to see how it sounds.. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

It looks like your where having a lot of fun with the banjo, I guess thats why we are musicians, to have fun right. This cover sounds pretty dam good sounds, and I'd love to watch your videos of acoustic versions, that's one of the things I like to do also, I'm not a good singer like you, but I have fun making covers of my favourite songs. I'm learning to play the drums but I have to change the acoustic set to an electronic so I can practice more. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I'm guessing the hardest part playing the Guitjo is approaching it like a banjo rather than a guitar You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I don't see myself as a good singer...yet I hear things in my head that need better technique to sound as I want them, so practice, practice, practice Do you have any new vids with yourself singing, mate?

I'm guessing the hardest part playing the Guitjo is approaching it like a banjo rather than a guitar I never actually tried playing on a traditional banjo, so the guitjo is a great choice for me For it's always a matter of how it sounds - I mean, if the tone is a banjo one, I will automatically play banjo oriented stuff with it and not treat it as a guitar.
