Hey @DiscostewLA that was great! Both songs! Althea blew me away…you are so smooth man…barre chords and transitions slick like butter. Really nice singing too….just loved it, very inspiring. And yeah thats a beauty Les Paul…I went electric this past year also. Got myself a PRS SE (which I love…fits me like a glove), and a Fender Mustang LT40S amp. While I still mostly gravitate to my acoustics, been having lots of fun making the transition. And figuring out the gear is definitely a learning curve, my lack of knowledge is vast but having a blast anyway. Youve prompted me to bring “Blondie” out and plug her in. Beam me up Scotty!

Really nice playing Albert…your picking is great! And kudos to you for the experimentation..your recording is very good. Inspiring me to so the same as my lack of knowledge is vast when it comes to most gear. thanks bro keep em coming:)

Thanks a lot @albert_d Really appreciate the supportive comments brother. Ive been a John Prine fan all my adult life but the cool thing is I still keep finding songs Ive never heard before! So sad that Covid took him after he beat cancer and was rejuvinating his career. But I thank God he left us with all those tunes

[Braden]

Hi Brett @Aservire and thanks for watching and taking the time to comment…much appreciated! This is a fun song and one of the first ones I picked up but it never gets old for me:) One of my goals when I retired three years ago was to get more serious with the music, and thats when I joined TAC. I’d already been playing for ten years or so but TAC helped me to focus and has been very helpful. My advice is just keep on plugging away…always play the things you like, but stretch yourself too. And lots of repetition…over and over again…for me thats the key…but the main thing is to enjoy yourself and have fun with it. You can do it! And Pete @petelanger is right on, we all need to try hard to not compare ourselves to others who may be further along. I struggled with this alot…sometimes when I’d see a real good player Id want to throw my guitar away! Our journeys are very personal but at the same time music is meant to be shared and we’re all in this together bro so rock on!
