    Today I sounded out Paris en Colere…a big hit for Mireille Mathieu in the 60’s which brought back memories of my youth.

    If you like a powerful version of an Edith Piaf kind of voice check her out. Not for everybody but I love it!

    Hi Docteny

    Thanks for the kind words.

    Sadly at this point I have yet to be able to combine what I have been learning at TAC with the other things I do on guitar…My sound outs are very basic…just writing the notes on the melody line and rarely adding chords to it. The act of listing on this page every song I sound out is to reinforce the small win for me. But it would be great to see if others want to give it a try too!

    Thanks Moonhare…yeah I do the daily challenge religiously and could not agree with you more. But I have been doing them for over a year, enjoy a lot of them ,they do challenge me and open my mind.

    But my small wins are checking out that pile of dozens of songs I noted

    Glad you are seeing progress.. and thanks for reading my post.

    Cheers!

    Thanks Rando…for me it is a nice routine because I rarely feel like I score a win on the daily challenge…so it is satisfying to pick out a tune…which is not usually that hard to me. Noting it is a bit tougher, and then even harder is finding notes to harmonize… and noting the timing forgettabout it -haha but the daily challenge gets me going-enjoyed tonight’s!

    I would recommend giving it a try to train your ear and see if you enjoy it.

    Thanks Albert…I really am not a disciplined person…but I have to admit that this program has instilled an uncharacteristic bit of routine in my life.

    Hi Mark

    Thanks for your comments…I have been having mixed feelings about my decision to reup for a year. It actually does seem like Tony is incrementally improving on the lessons in that they seem to come together a bit more. There are a couple of sites that I used in the past that I actually felt were much better in terms of content. I also took about 6 months of classical lessons which were so much more productive….

    Having said all that…I am really motivated everyday to do my “10 mins”…it is totally part of my routine….and I look forward to it and appreciate the “small wins” .

    It frustrates me because as good as it is it could be so much better. It would be nice to have a “big win” incorporated ie learn a beautiful song incrementally from start to finish that I could play for my wife or a grandkid!

    Best of luck to you…be curious to hear what you decide to do.
