Moment from a video made for guitar students learning SUNBATHER
I have three of my guitar students learning Sunbather, and two of them wanted to do an acoustic duet of the song! This is a moment cut from the video I made from them this week. We’ve been using the Sunbather tab book the band had published 5 or 6 years ago.
In regard to the comment I made in the video when, after some mistakes, I then said I “got carried away”:
I tell all of my students, of all instruments, to not to be afraid to let yourself be available to be swept away by your own inclinations. While we all have clear goals to focus on, or parts of songs that need drilled, or whole pieces that need perfected, personal practice time is the perfect place to let yourself get lost with your own playing. Conscious confidence and curiosity is what defines many great musicians, and it all comes with the acceptance to remove yourself as a perfectionist with a “job”, and let your music try something that might carry strong emotion. I’m glad they have video proof of this happening to me. Whenever my students like to (in their always positive, well-spirited ways) openly make fun of me, they’ll often quote “LET’S GET LOST”, which I guess is something that I say often around them LOL.
I hope this bit of the video is novel in any way to whomever watches. Thanks 🤘😊
