June Challenge Week 3

I have done what I set out to do for the challenge which was to learn to sing and play the song with the proper strumming pattern. It's not perfect but "good enough for jazz" as the saying goes πŸ˜‚ Like any song I learn I will be forever refining it. I think the June challenge definitely gave me focus; I really enjoyed it, thanks James!

That was superb Kate very well done, I see what you mean about all the strumming variations through the song, it's such a pleasing song to listen too. Your voice tone is complemented well with your acoustic playing, a great combination.

Congtratulations on your achievment. πŸ‘

So much to reflect and build upon from a really well spent day. Thank goodness this adventure is a marathon and not a sprint! Thanks @James Kuhnel for creating that brilliant opportunity and to the guys attending. That question posed about favourite guitarists is nigh on impossible to answer but I went with an old favourite, Peter Green and a current favourite Myles Kennedy. The first rightly revered the second under-rated, IMHO. That PRS Signature guitar reminded me of Alter Bridge's song Blackbird (not the Beatles one 😊) https://youtu.be/Igvem2rcUvc?si=jxCnQEC8kz2k_2Eo

Im glad you enjoyed it David, it was a lot of fun and i look forward to doing it again with you sometiume soon!

Question

Does anyone else feel like they are a beginnner guitarist forever. I’ve no idea what my level is but in my mind I’m always a beginner (even after years of playing). It’s not really important but I just wondered if anyone else feels the same. Also today was a landmark for me as I played the Nirvana unplugged song along with James’s play through, I transitioned from the third fret to the tenth without looking down at the fretboard for the first time. It took me by surprise so I did it again about 6 more times. It’s really given me a boost as I never thought I’d be able to change frets without looking. This platform really works and kudos to James for being a brilliant teacher 😁

Ibanez Talman parts

Could anyone guide me to a guitar parts dealer that could supply a 5 position slide pickup selector switch and pots for volume and tone. For a 1993 Ibanez Talman please
