No noise! Not looking. Smooth transitions to each triad.

What a cool guitar and great color!
Corvalis is a nice town with really cool people!
Kurt
Super job, Chris. I think you sounded great. Very cool that you are making progress.
Wow, thank you Chris for such a great performance!
Now I want an electric guitar even more!
This is my final video.
I hope this time I'm in the correct thread.
Wow Eiji!
Really great job.Love your playing and smile!
You are so relaxed and natural in front of the camera.
I am inspired to keep working.
Really glad you are here getting it done and setting such a great example.
Kurt
Hello, Eiji. Good job on the triads. Nice sound on that guitar.
Hi Eiji, super performance! Very clean tone! Four years is great!
Thanks Tadashi. 4years but I had never read forum before.
I found this forum is very useful.
Thanks Linda.
I have just changed the pick up of this guitar to Tomo's signature pick up. Sounds great.
Eiji, beautiful, honest, and fluent. I loved your performance. The space in between if magnificent. So lovely. Thank you.
Thank you Serena!
I don't know how to react.
Thank you again Serena again.
Thank you Serena for encouragement!
Glad you loved Eiji’s performance! Nice pace between those chords!
No rush and keep so steady nicely.
Keep going!
Tomo
You're welcome. Keep shinning. :)
So nice to meet you and hear you play, Eiji! So patient and positive - it shows through your playing. I can imagine that speaking and writing in English takes extra effort. Thank you for taking the time to talk to us :)
Thank you Sammi. I have learnt this patience from Tomo-sensei's guitar lesson.
I think I have changed in many ways. Thank you for the guitar lesson.
Eiji, such wonderful progress when you say "I think I have changed in many ways". You should be proud of all your hard work and what you have accomplished.
Thank you Sammi for encouragement!
Eiji is super patient and very positive! He has been taking my tape lessons for a while so more patient!
I really appreciate his effort on writing & speaking in English! I am so grateful!
Keep going!
Tomo
Thank you Linda for Encouragement!
Definitely I changed my personality a lot though my guitar playing. I am very calm and so relaxed now! Very positive and don’t worry anything.
Eiji changed a few way of thinking, feeling … to very calm and more positive way even though something happening (not best or great way)… I became more patient too.
Guitar is so good! I am so grateful!
Without guitar… totally 100% CHAOS!
Tomo
Here’s my submission.
I think I peeked at my fingers on the 2nd part but oh well.

Hello my GW friends! 🌞🎸
I’m finally back from festival gigs and work, July was such a busy and intense month, between Portugal and Hungary!
I was only able to keep up until Week 2, so unfortunately I won’t be able to finish in time for the contest submission on August 10th.
But I’ll pick up right from Week 2 as soon as possible and keep posting my progress anyway.
Really looking forward to continuing this journey with you all, and wishing everyone a fantastic contest!
Big hugs from Portugal,
Sérgio 🙏✨
Big hug to Sergio ! WOw , you are great , can do a great and busy job .
Don't worry , you can do it , please do with your own pace Sergio . We all back up for you !
Yes , Expect more in the journey for everyone !
Best wishes !
Welcome back, Sergio! Portugal and Hungary? That's so cool! I look forward to your next posts!
Sergio, welcome back! We wondered how you have been doing, we would like a full report on the Festivals!
Awe thanks for getting back to us Sergio. Busy can be good. Sounds like a great experience. Stay in touch and keep rocking.
There he is. Sounds good Sergio !
This is my assignment. I can do it better but it's the first take. The amp setting is Bass 1, treble 10, volume 5; guitar setting is tone 10, volume 6 and bridge pick-up ( no split). Apologise for the quality.
Wow, thank you for the wonderful performance, Chris! It's amazing that you were able to play that on the first take! I'd love to go to Roses someday!
Great job, Christian! You are improving so much. Thank you for your kind words. I can tell you are really feeling each sound. Sounds so good! PS love the shirt!
Nice Christian - thanks for sharing your settings as well.

Johno, I looked forward your July Challenge submission. Job well done! Triads sounded great on your guitar, and I loved it when you said "This is all starting to make sense".
You are a big part of it "all making sense".
You’re awesome Johno. Best story by far on your journey. So glad you’re one of us. Nice playing and using your ear after playing each
Thank you Jeff for encouragement.
What a great story on Johnos music journey being a trampet player first who can read music then tabs, videos… discover some tabs got mistakes, that made him to trust himself using more own ear!
Great clean playing and he is improving and enjoying his journey!
I am so happy to see his face!
