Well done Cloves, sounds great. Thanks for posting it. Did you find the tabs somewhere or work it out yourself?

Sounds great my man. Yeah the rhythms aren’t the same as how Billy Joel plays it, but you’re playing it YOUR way and it sounds great. You play that for anyone and they’re gonna be like “wow!” (They’re not gonna be like, “hey those rhythms aren’t right!”

@davidkachalon just made a great post on this topic!

Making mistakes and failing gracefully

Many of my students want to play the study pieces I give them “perfectly.” I’m sure we all want to play our music “perfectly.” Sadly this is almost impossible. What is perfection and why chase it? Small mistakes we face with in real time help build fundamental characteristic’s that make a musician able to deal with the problems that will most certainly arise. I do not take off points for mistakes. I take off points if a mistake causes a negative reaction. Cursing, throwing temper tantrums, and…

Keep up the great work!

Rock on!

Amazing Grace is such a nice tune. I am working on something called Sleepwalk. I am doing the Charlie Musselwhite version, kind of. I cant quite nail it but I really want to. Glad you are liking Luke’s course. I really enjoyed it and go back from time to time to see how I am progressing. Toog
