Guitar Noise Podcast #14 - Putting Things To Practical Use
Hello to all!
For our fourteenth Guitar Noise Podcast, let’s take stock of the many things we’ve learned so far and, over the course of the next number of GN Podcasts, put them to use in song. After all, that’s why we’re practicing, right? For starters, we’ll use the traditional tune, “Handsome Molly” (also known to many as “I Wish I Was in London”), which has a nice, simple chord progression of G, D and C.
We’ll start out very basic and then add some embellishments and bass lines taken directly from our previous podcasts. Hopefully, you’ll soon build up a bit of confidence and start in adding your own touches before we’re through!
As always, I’ll be walking you step by step through the lesson. And, as always, please let us know what you think.

David — First of all thank you for all the help I’ve gotten from your lessons. The time, talent and effort you put forward to help others is commendable. The other night I happened to try one of your podcasts (which I didn’t think would be a method I could learn from) and I got hooked. I stayed up late that night and I was so excited by what I was learning that I couldn’t sleep when I did go to bed. Again, thanks David for all you do to help others learn and have fun with music.

Hi Tom
And you’re very welcome. Thank you, too, for your kind words concerning my lessons at Guitar Noise. I’m glad that both those and these Guitar Noise Podcasts are being helpful.
As I’ve probably mentioned elsewhere on this blog, I wasn’t really sure about how these Podcasts would work as learning tools, either, but they seem to be doing okay. I know I’m learning a lot by doing them! And I’m kind of worried that I might get addicted to putting them together!
Looking forward to hearing how things continue to go with you.
Peace
