Hi all.
Last month I took advantage of the cut-price deal that Griff set up, and got myself Song Surgeon 5. I've already got a lot of stuff from Griff and BGU, and I've had the 4-note solo for about 5 years.
OK, so I installed and set up Song Surgeon, watched all the Tutorial videos (this was before we got locked down by Covid) and set about trying it out... time has passed.
About a week ago I made one file with a loop of the first 12 bars of the 4-note solo, and another of the second 12 bars. And I've been playing along. AND IT'S THE BEST THING SINCE LIGHT-GAUGE STRINGS!!!
I can play the whole 24 bars (albeit not brilliantly), and my fret-hand ring finger is sore from the bends, but I'm getting that whole-tone bend down and I'm absolutely grinning from ear to ear. It's just as good as when I was 14 and learned "Apache" from my first guitar teacher.
Thank you, Griff for providing me with the means to REALLY make genuine progress, and to do it quickly, while enjoying every minute of the journey.
