RJ’s Bb Blues – Third Section played on Gretsch G5422TG Electromatic

RJ’s Bb Blues – Third Section played on my Gretsch G5422TG Electromatic® Hollow Body Double-Cut with Bigsby® and Gold Hardware, Snowcrest White.

Learned/memorized the third section of an instrumental by RJ Ronquillo yesterday and will be quite a while before it is really clean..but I record ever time I practice and have been doing so since I started to relearn to play following a couple of strokes.

Besides the loss of the proper use of my left hand/arm my memory was affected so I struggle to learn new things but it’s better than it was a number of years ago when it was impossible.

So, I’m excited. More so about learning and recalling new pieces than perfecting new parts because for my long-term recovery, my brain working is the most essential. But I also try to practice all the new pieces so that they sound good over time.

I also work on metronome and playing along with songs every day.

“Ay Chihuahua” by RJ Ronquillo – First 90 seconds of the song from Eastwood Guitar Demo

I’m learning to play the electric guitar part to RJ Ronquillo’s “Ay Chihuahua” based on a guitar demo he did for Eastwood Guitars called Airline ’59 2P Demo – RJ Ronquillo. This is about the first 1.5 minutes of the guitar demo. He played it differently than on his album.
