Excellent presentation on this song. THanks for posting the lyrics too.

@Loraine , You are really stepping up your game with this song. I liked the picking and the strumming is spot on. Played with a lot of feeling. You caught the emotion of the song! Great Job!

@charlie_d Good job on the improv! You got pretty fancy with it. Good Job

@Jim_Krozz , I saw the sound hole facing the player. What do you think of that? I have read a lot of good reviews. A beautiful guitar.

@Mrfredsporty I just went back to the email I received and it doesn’t say when it will be released. But, will let you know if we get a date. Maybe there will be a mention of it in the upcoming Acoustic Tuesday show.

I call it a ‘light bulb moment’ . Your doing good @Mrfredsporty. 🙂

@the-old-coach , The dailies are great to do. Gets you going, shows you different picks and strums. But, I want to play at least 10 songs by memory. So if someone hands me a guitar and says, “I heard you can play” I’ll be able to play at least 10 songs. Concentrate on the ones you love, it will make it easier.
This is something I just started doing (along with learning my 10 songs) which is helping me out. I sit down and figure out the melody. Yesterday by the Beatles is an easy song. Just sit, hear it in your head and try to find the notes (i write them down as i go). Cheat and just get the first note down and go from there.
I have been listening to Billy Strings (bluegrass). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6U6NCvOfl8 . The video shows a lot of close ups of their hands while they are playing the guitar. I have decided to learn Bluegrass. The flat picking Tony shows really helped me here. I’m doing the same thing. Hear it in my head and give it a go. I think i have 3 or 4 notes written down so far. de de dedal de de de dedal de de de dedal de de. Go to the Song Vault, there is a song on the flat picking side called ‘Bluegrass Rhythm’. It’s not too hard and it reminds me of the challenges.
I hope this helps with your question. Right now, I have forgotten what the question was and might just be rambling to myself.

@Mrfredsporty , I make a list of things to do. It sits on the kitchen table. We (my husband and I) cant miss it. It can be simple stuff or something that could take days to complete. But do something everyday and one day, it will all be done. Starting out with making the bed is a good start. 🙂

@the-old-coach , When I first started on my guitar journey, I used a child’s guitar (1/4 size) for travel. All you need is something to practice the challenges with and figuring out notes for songs. @jumpinjeff had a good idea to go to a pawn shop and see what they have there. Keep it cheap, and if it broken in travel you won’t get upset. Also if it gets broken in travel you can begin training as a luthier and fix it yourself.

@the-old-coach. it’s just marketing. You know…. Build up the anticipation in the product. Tease with suspense. They’ll sell more that way.
Here’s an easy way to look at it: Think back when you were with all your buddies having a beer…. you just got the last beer out of the fridge, you drink it slowly smacking your lips. Commenting on how good it is. Makes everyone want a beer that much more. That sounds like what is going on with the FBW.

I swear @N-lightMike, it was the flat picking challenges that we have been having that got me onto this bluegrass kick. I was listening to Billy Strings the other day. I was watching the video and they the video shows up close, what he is doing. Yeah, ok, i’m not going to get as good as Billy Strings. But, I can play slow and figure it out. That is enjoyment enough for me. I just feel like I have gotten to a point in my journey where I feel good about my accomplishments with guitar. I have been working on memorizing 10 songs. But, when I started working on figuring out melodies it jump started my progress big time. Thanks Mike for all the confidence that you have been throwing my way. 🙂

@John_Hall , thanks for mentioning the KLOS. WOW, This is what I would call a real travel guitar. Take a look @the-old-coach . This is something that would be perfect. (6) Unboxing the NEW KLOS Carbon Fiber Travel Guitar!! – YouTube

@the-old-coach HAWAII! rent something when you get there. Start googling now and see if you can find something near where you are staying. Figure you might be able to practice for a couple of days, but remember you’ll have a lot of site seeing to do. Have fun.

@jumpinjeff , your right. If you don’t know what price range it’s hard to actually give recommendation.

@Michelle-PSL , I was on the post and saw you for a split second and then you were gone? I think they are doing updates again. anything can happen. 🙂
