What Are You Working On Right Now?

[Jarick]

Thought it might be fun to have kind of an open-ended thread about what people are working on currently. Might be a good place to focus on playing, practicing, learning, and all that stuff instead of just gear!

I am currently working through the TrueFire jazz guitar learning path as I've always wanted to learn and improve jazz guitar. I started it a couple years ago then forgot about it, and picked it back up a couple weeks ago.

Right now I'm speeding through the "late beginner to intermediate" videos as they are pretty easy, but I have picked up a couple things. I'm not great with chords (or theory), so learning the real names and alternate shapes of "jazzy chords" that I've been playing for decades is nice.

This and 1st/4th finger trills. Dreadfully slow.

Gonna learn some bass …


If I’m splappin’ n’ poppin in a few months I’ll be rotflmao

 

[TravisG406]

I’m tone matching my acoustic with my AxeFx to do some stereo IR’s. I have a mono one I’m already happy with. But am making XY , stereo pair, blumlein, and mid side to compare

Keeping my pants up and on. I may need suspenders.

Waistlines are too low in modern silhouettes…

Need to go back to high waisted shit like this…

Bach's Partita I for solo violin, Double and Sarabande sections.
Days of Wine and Roses, soloing over the changes.
Mick Goodrick's Voice Leading Almanac Vol 1 (I just started digging into it).
Various scale/mode harmonizations.

I’m currently working on this course from Ben Higgins

 

[Mooselake]

I'm back to doing something I return to periodically--trying to smooth out the chorus of Limelight. Oh, and in another deja vu woring on the intro to Electric Gypsy again.

Ben is awesome! Both of 'em!

 

[Stone]

Currently working on Gary Moore's Parisienne Walkways
and all the techniques and chords involved
slow progress, but enjoying the ride

 

[TSJMajesty]

My practice mostly involves learning licks and parts of solos, rather than entire songs, because I'm trying to use those licks as exercises. Things that, once learned, will give me a jump on other, similar riffs/solos.

That's a great song with a killer riff. How you coming along?

 

[Sleezy E]

Workin on dis 6 pack

 

[Warmart]

3.5 songs into Leviathan, that I've been working on for 2 months. If that tells you anything? It's a blast, so it's all gudd.

This is more on the lines of Michael’s tendencies and technique.
Unfortunately it’s not also a tutorial on playing “ Into the Arena “
On the question of how I’m coming along well
I’m enjoying working on the content provided and have my good days and bad days.
Yesterday was a good day!
Hopefully I can follow it up with another one tonight.

Hit that Shed Cheech

 

[TubeStack]

Bluegrass mandolin + guitar.

Also, fingerstyle acoustic guitar songs like Harris And The Mare (Stan Rogers) + playing/singing stuff like Never Going Back (F. Mac) and Mother Nature's Son (Beatles).

Kind of going through an all-acoustic phase, after several months of modeler/FM9 fun.

 

[Eagle]

Gypsy Jazz when I can stop trying to make the guitar work better. I have two and I can’t stop swapping between them either.
Watch this;

Amazing and I noticed he has the fret marker on fret 9 instead of the traditional fret10 . This is driving me nuts. I will probably end up moving it on mine too
