My First TACiversary is today!
I joined TAC one year ago today with the hope of bringing more consistency to my guitar routine. Looking back on a very challenging year, retired in June, lost my only brother the day before I retired, & had a few other life hurdles along the way. I still managed to log 294 playing sessions & kept my goal of 5 days per week alive. I can see some definite improvement in flat picking (one of my weaker areas), as well as learning a few new songs & several new techniques. The TAC family has been very supportive & I have enjoyed joining & meeting some of them in the VOM’s. This year I plan to keep up the consistency, learn some more new songs & hopefully play some live at open mics! Thanks Tony for the inspiration! Here’s a pic with my newest guitar that followed me home from a trip to LA. It is a Faith Neptune Blood Moon acoustic electric. Trembesi from Java top, back, & sides with ebony bridge & fingerboard, & some curly maple binding. Tone is much like Koa & I’m enjoying it very much.

Happy 1st TACiversary @Charistopher. Fist, sorry for the loss of your brother. Not easy… Plus Happy NGD! Make a recording of a song. Put it away and listen to it one year later… you will be surprise as to how much progress you have made. 😊🧙♂️😎

I’m very sorry about the loss of your brother I can only imagine how hard that was.
Somehow, you stayed the course and I have no doubt focusing on the guitar helped you and was a constant in what sounds like a year of change and challenge.
That guitar has me salivating, it is beautiful and I imagine it sounds like maple syrup given it beautiful colour.

Don’t you just love when strays follow you home? So happy that beautiful guitar is giving you joy. Happy 1st TACiversary!

Congratulations on your TACiversary, @Christopher_H! My condolences on the loss of your brother; that must have been a hard way to start the year. I’m impressed by your perseverance!

Wow, I can’t believe it’s been a year already @Christopher_H – Congratulations!
I am so sorry to hear of your brothers passing and the other challenges you’ve had. I hope 2022 is a more positive period for you.
Lovely guitar, and a manufacturer/luthier I’ve not heard of before. Looking forward to hearing her at the VOM’s.

Thank you all for your condolences & words of encouragement. I’ll have to post a video playing the Faith guitar so you can hear what she sounds like.
