    Posted by DrummerBoy on April 6, 2021 at 1:07 pm

    I’m a guitar newbie. Made this video around month 3 of my playing. Joined TAC 6 months ago but got away from it after around 4 months but I am back in the swing. Hope you enjoy this video. Memories of my three boys while I play and sing Sugar Mountain.

    That my friend was excellent. Your voice and reverb were perfect for this song. You have a Neil Young vibe. The guitar strumming also was spot on. And those home movies were so touching and made the whole production very professional! I love Neil and plan to do some of him myself soon so why don’t you post some more too and we’ll get a Neil Young series going!

      Thank you so much. And to think, I made this whole production from my iPhone (used iMovie and recorded using my Zoom iQ7 mic). I just purchased my very first guitar one week ago (Martin) and I love it and that has helped get me back on track. I was using an old beat up hand me down that didn’t feel or play well and this new guitar has made a big difference. I have other videos if you’re interested in seeing them let me know! Good luck to you!

      Totally appreciate those remarks Dirk. My boys are now 25, 21, and 15 so yes – these memories are precious to me for sure. Thanks again and good luck on your guitar journey as well!

    You should start a Neil young tribute act. That was bang on

      Thanks Fly. I’m a drummer for a Zeppelin tribute act, and am hopeful to get to play out as an acoustic solo or trio and do stuff like Neil Young etc. That’d be cool. Thanks for the props.
