After messing with these for a week I'm feeling more comfortable with them. I'm also getting more comfortable with recording and figuring out how to make the presentation a little better sound and video-wise.
A challenge I'm finding now that I don't remember having before is noisy fingernails on wound strings. I try go at them with a more perpendicular stroke, but there's more that needs to be done for sure.
Thanks to everyone for all the involvement in the challenge far.

Hello all,
I am still working on Landslog 1 and enjoy the process. I am still struggling a bit with some of the chord changes but it is getting better. I am still playing very slow until I feel comfortable enough to get to normal speed. At that time I will share a video.
I have one question about the speed we should be playing.
The score is showing 1/8 note with a dot on the side at 76 bpm......
Well on a 9/8 I am just mixed up.
Can someone explain to me how I can translate that. I would like to know what is the bpm of one of each 6 triplets.....
Also, I noticed on many videos that often the first triplet of each bar seems to be played at a slightly slower speed and increases gradually in the bar. I feel it generates a great feeling of the piece. Is this OK or should we try to avoid that?
Thanks for your help

Hello,
Finally a big step for me.... A lot of learning to record and post (private) on Youtube but here is my first take of Landslog I.
I used a metronome set 3/4 at 85 bpm which is a lot slower than the normal required speed but the best I can do at this point of time. Many mistakes, few skipped triplets but I is done.
For me a late beginner acoustic player... I feel good about it.
