I'm putting my practice sessions out there on youtube to force myself to measure progress in the most objective way I can. That means that however it turns out, it goes up there, every few months, and to hell with the embarrassment.
So here's what I can do after ten months. It may not seem like much to those of you who can play and sing well, but I have to say that this is the best I've ever been so far. In all my years of noodling around with other instruments I've never got to the stage where I can play and sing anything together at the same time. I have two left musical feet if that makes sense.
OK, so if you're looking for entertainment, this isn't for you. This is my self-indulgence, it's really for me. It's so I can look back in a couple of months and say, yes I can do better than that now, it's OK to continue.
I have a practice set of about ten songs, and here are three of them, played on the front verandah in the suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia, with Rex Thewonderdog wandering in and out. He's deaf by the way, it helps, he has never complained about my playing.
