Thanks Peter !
For the starting I learned the songs with the tab, sometimes I still do it, but I used more and more the lyrics with the chords... Now I know all the basic chords and some "rare" chords but well... Each day I learn a new thing... I don't have a teacher, I learn on my own.
I don't try to be perfect... I prefer to miss something but doin' it with all my heart than rearrange the sound with all the things we can do with a computer... The wrong thing in music is "playback", I forgot which artist sung the American Anthem in playback (Beyonce I think), but playback it's just an easy cheat...
For the guitar, sometimes a song is maybe less accurate than the original, but anyway, I'm not Hendrix, Zappa, ..., and sometimes I really want to do it well (as for Castles Made of Sand), and others songs I just strum the chords and add little things I try (as for "Out On The Weekend", it's different than Neil Young, mainly for the beginning, and a bit faster)
I also start to write my own original songs, it's more rock, traditionnal rock, a little bit funk, and folk... But actually I just finished 2 songs (So I have the composition and the lyrics), and a dozen of songs, some are finished but I need to find lyrics, some are just little things I think cool...
When it's ok, if I like what I do, I ask to my family/friends to tell me honestly what they think of it.
I wish I could record it (by the way there's a new litte studio in my town), and also find a drummer and a bassist. But actually I just want to have more skill... On the last videos I play more with the folk guitar, just because like this I can sing, but normally I used to play with my Fender ah ah...
