Hey there. Insomnia so I listened to the whole vid :-) and it’s nice to hear from someone with identical interests. Great job posting.
Focus is good. So much stuff to work on, hopefully book 3 will keep it fun. Fun is important!
Great about your hands.
Are you listening to lots of gj as well? That can help feed the motivation and enjoyment, if you listen to things that really get you going.
Hi Dude' its inspiring to see your dedication and commitment to the gypsy jazz style, well done for that, any progress is better than doing nothing. Your not alone, despite practising for many years (at least 3hrs a day) i been struggling with this style and feel like I've only scratched the surface. having watched a few of your daily practice videos sadly they only capture my attention for a short while before they become monotonous, if you gave a little detail and mentioned what it is your learning at any given time, i think this might engage the watcher and allow them to learn with you and may increase your watch count! am eager to see your outcome using the Van Hermet System?
keep going at it bro 👍🎶
Thank you! Three hours! Impressive. I'm pretty burnt out after two. Thanks for checking out the videos. They're not really meant to be watched (although feel free, of course). Part of the reason I started uploading was to show what practice can look like - monotony, endless repetitions, slow gains. I always find motivation in seeing other people work on things (like study-with-me channels). It helps me to combat the misguided feeling that learning and results should be quick.
19:30 sounds like intonation problem... there's a floating saddle on your guitar, I think you could maybe set it by yourself - just compare fretted notes on 12th fret with harmonics on 12th fret and they should match or be as close as possible. If not, you need to move the saddle forward or backward.
Thank you! I'll give that a try.
Have you considered a monthly recital along with the progress report?
I'd like to but I'm still at a level where I'd have to spend the whole month preparing for it. Eventually I'll get to more "performance" based stuff. My main focus for now is book exercises (licks).
8:48 and the truth is everybody uses Wegen's lol
Not those at the top of the genre lol
@@justadudepracticing at least Joscho uses them for sure
@@MegaGameHunter True true. He uses big city 1.4, same as Stochelo as far as I know.
