    <div>Ok, so I have had only positive experiences here so I am going to go way out on a limb here. This is a song my dad sang all the time. I knew it had to be one of the first songs I learned all the way through. Please be gentle. I have been playing seriously for about 2 months and a member of TAC for 9 days. 😳😬😊 https://youtu.be/Ap3zvt-V-8k</div>

    Excellent first post! Your bass note, strumming was good, very clear and consistent. Nicely done!

    Holy cow that was awesome for only playing 2 months, and to be able to put vocals to a song is o difficult and you nailed it. Fantastic strumming. Timed and played smoothly. Can’t wait to see more @JustinRigdon !

    Justin Rigdon, congratulations on your first post! A great moment. Loved the song and your guitar playing had a great groove on a very sweet sounding guitar! Look forward to hearing more!

    @JustinRigdon Your dad would be so proud. Good job with the strumming and adding in some transitions from chord to chord. I’m sure this will be one of many songs you post. The first post is the hardest!

    I’m seriously impressed that you could sing and play at the same time since you’ve played such a short period of time. I can’t quite recall since it was so long ago for me, but I’m sure it was much longer than two months before I could do both at the same time. It only gets better from here!

    Way to be out of your comfort zone. Tony tells us that is how we grow. And I wish I could do the pic in a pic with the focus on the guitar. Nice touch.
