Ok folks, we've finally reached the end of this monster of a guitar duel. We started around 6 weeks ago. I think @V8 and I are both a bit relieved for it to be over. But at the same time, I think we both got massive benefits from doing this.
Anyway, time to hand over our fates to you, our loving GuitarTalk members.
Who done it best?
Voting closes in 7 days!
A big up to @NorioDS for being a really good sport on this challenge! He was completely up for it - and shared with us his wins and frustrations ?
I reckon he put a lot of time into this, especially the SRV one - I can hear the hours he put into this!
And I had a lot of fun (when the red recording light wasn't blinking at me ?) - the higher bpm's exposed a lot of holes in my game - I'd list them, but I'd be typing all day.
The biggest learning - regularly working on ONE thing for a extended period of time. I found that I'd do one major session (60-90m) and then lots of little ones (5-15m) regularly polishing individual sections. if I skipped more than a day, I had to backtrack and re-learn bits I didn't get under my fingers (or into my head).
And you bud! You're the one who suggested it and it was pretty epic! I really enjoyed reading about your style of learning and "borrowing" bits from you ?
I can definitely see something like this being fun for the forum to do together. All learning from one another.
V8 I can hear the hours he put into this!
Told you, I won't lose for lack of trying ? But I won't so quickly accept another challenge like this. Lesson learned ?
V8 if I skipped more than a day, I had to backtrack and re-learn bits I didn't get under my fingers (or into my head).
Oh yeah! Totally experienced that. And sometimes you can't help it. You just CAN'T get to your guitar that day / weekend / whatever.
Poll ends tomorrow, please get your votes in if you haven't voted yet!
