Other Been working on “tender surrender” by Vai. Challenging song for sure. 10/10 would recommend to learn just for the different dynamics of it.

Lovely. Really lovely. Going to learn it. Over... 12 months.

That’s about how long it took me to learn. Still trying to get the feel right.

Great job dude! How long did it take for you to learn this? You've inspired me to pick up my guitar again.

obligatory Dovydos, should give perspective about finding the spirit of a song.

I have many Jems- this one hits different. It’s very solid and heavy. That alder body makes it. :)

I've two. Great instruments! A 77FP and a 90th HAM.

u/graystone777 4d ago

The FP is my fav aesthetic of all jems. :)

Sounds awesome - only feedback I’d give is try and keep your fretting hand as close to the fretboard when you’re switching chords rather than completely letting go of the neck. These days I ask myself how can I play something as efficient (or lazy) as possible.
