Hello from Minneapolis.

Richard_G

New to the forum. Or at least, first time ever posting. I've lurked from time to time. Been learning gypsy jazz for a couple years now and LOVE IT. Although the winters here in Minnesota are no joke, and the bad weather is great for staying in doors and practicing, but hell on the set-up of the selmac style guitars.

Anyway--I've made up my mind to be a more active participant on this site. Maybe make some new friends! If anyone here has an instagram and is interested--you can find me and some quick, awkward attempts to play the genre under the username kogi_kaishakunin.

Best to everyone.

Here's a clip I recorded about a year ago, trying my level best at the time to tackle a backing track of 'Si Tu Savais'.

Welcome! Like you, I have lurked for a while, but now I'm trying to be a more regular participant. There is so much information available here, it's sometimes hard to pull away from the forum to practice!

That's a pretty good level best from a year ago.
You have it a little worse temperature wise (I'm in Chicago) but I know how hard it is to keep the wood stable, I have two humidifiers going, keep water pots on all radiators and I can barely keep it in mid 30% humidity.
