So, it looks like like destinytot has the right idea. Should we formalize ourselves into a formal study study group ? or just carry on informally on this thread ?
Your thoughts ?
-
Study groups always do better with some kind of structure. Pick a tune, give a deadline. One per week, or every two weeks? Invite people to submit things later if they like, but at least having a deadline seems to help. My 2c...

Yes, I agree.
I was hoping that this thread would lead to a Study Group whereby we would pick one tune per month. I envision overriding "curriculum" if you will of a couple of dozen tunes, so that members could skip tunes that did not appeal to them and participate in months when the songs did appeal to them.
Similar to what is done by the folks over in the "Practical Standards" Study Group.

But I don't believe that their preparation - which needn't take more than a few minutes - warrants the kind of (slow and considered) pace followed on other forum study groups.
Moreover, I believe the outcome ought to be improvised.
So I suggest focusing on the 'hows and whys' of the approach(es) and style(s) each of us happens to favour.
(Personally, I can infer enough information from recordings to be able to improvise the outcome. A quick glance at the list tells me that one half would suit Tele and the other Marty Grosz-Carl Kress tuning - what I'd need to decide on is each vocal key.)Last edited by destinytot; 11-15-2017 at 05:31 AM.

That doesn't get watered down here because of the storytelling:

A month feels like too long a time for a single tune to me.

How does this sound ?
We take about a dozen tunes. We practice, perform and post them over a 6 month period.
Hopefully we will inspire and encourage each other.
Preparation can be a few minutes or a few weeks depending on whether or not you need to change keys etc.
We can focus on the hows and whys and ask each other questions.
We can post videos that inspire.
My question remains do we carry on here or do I? start a thread under the Study Group heading ?
