While I love finger style guitar on acoustic so much and have been doing a lot of it; however, they really hurt the tip of your fingers finger picking the strings all of the time. Finger picking on acoustic may be fun but you don’t wanna be doing it all of the time ’cause you can get nasty blisters and stuff. I’ve gotten a few before and almost got one right now. That’s why I try to let my finger nails on the right hand grow out a little more ’cause you can use the long fingernails good for finger picking.

Finger style guitar is awesome. People seem to enjoy me doing that too as my finger picking is getting some good feedback. I love finger style ’cause it’s easier to sing over and you can sing over it better.

That Sharon Van Etten song, “Love More” really was tough for me to learn. The secret to mastering a cover song is listening and try to match what you hear on the recording. On the “Love More” song toward the end when the word “more” is repeated that was the toughest part of the whole song as you can tell. That part maybe off key a little bit but it was a challenging song to sing.

When doing cover songs… I LOVE to challenge myself with the singing. I like to pick songs where the singing is difficult to do. I have also been hitting the high notes more as you have noticed.

More cover songs on the way. Next song will be “One” by U2 and “Royals” by Lorde will be coming up as well. I think the main reason why I’m doing cover songs more ’cause it’s my way of trying to sing better and it works. Covers really help you improve.

I’m gonna try some acepella singing as well… try singing without an instrument. I’m real focused on the vocals and taking it more seriously. I wanna sing better.

Another great video by the PlayerSupreme.

In this video, he gives you the advice on what to do if you have a crush on a girl that you like… his simple answer… “ask her out”. Seems pretty easy, I guess. I think the reason I haven’t gotten a girlfriend yet or haven’t had much experience with them ’cause I’m admittedly shy around women… I’ll confess it but as you all can see,  I really am working on my confidence around them and trying to get better with them. It shouldn’t be that hard to ask her out at all. To ask a woman out you don’t wanna ask her out to dinner at a fancy restaurant right away. Taking her out to a fancy dinner is recommended but not right away. You want your first date with her to be something small like a coffee date or a lunch date at a diner with her or something like that.

I am already starting to have the confidence telling women to their face that they are beautiful/gorgeous and have the confidence to dance with them and stuff but I need to start asking them out. Next time a woman approaches me or I approach them I need to ask them out for a coffee/lunch date or something. I need to ask them out in person… say it to her face instead of asking her out in facebook, ya know? It’s pretty weird that if you meet a girl in person and guys end up asking her out in facebook. Women like it better when you ask them out to their face… they’ll respect you even more that you had the confidence to do that. If you ask her out in facebook instead of to her face, then she’ll immediately think you’re shy around women. Shouldn’t be that hard to ask women out to her face. Gotta learn that women won’t bite at all.

Check out his video. He gives the advice at 13:00, toward the end of the video.

When women talk to me or dance with me at band shows/parties… I’ll admit I had too many missed opportunities to ask her out… next time. Ask her out, Kev, ask her out dammit. Should be that easy!

If she’s not interested and she rejects you all of a sudden… move along to the next girl. Nothing to see there.

Every time someone tries to reply here… they’re almost always a negative response. Why? It don’t hurt to be positive and joyful. Try it. I can be a fun and easy going guy if you talk to me how you’d like to be treated.

If you don’t like the way I write on my blog… then why continue to read and reply??? This is my site. I control it and write on it however I damn well please.

If there are people I don’t like, I get them out of my life and act like they’re dead to me. I have better things to do than obsess with the same person for years. I’m better than that. It don’t hurt to be civil.
