Congrats @mrfredsporty! Hearing how to incorporate the TAC learnings into your songs is indeed a great win!

[Kitman]

Way to go, @1Dean ! The guitar routine is key!

[Kitman]

Great win Edward – way to stick with your routine!

Welcome back @albert_d ! Great planning on how to keep your mind in sync with guitar.

[Kitman]

That is a great song @BethL . Funny and a great melody. I can see this song being sung around a campfire!

[Kitman]

Your guitar routine is serving you well @AAstrum . Way to hang n there. There are some tough challenges for sure in the daily challenges. When I am getting frustrated I remind myself: “ah, I must be in the process of learning something new”. 🙂

Great job @Loraine ! It doesn’t matter how fast or slow you play – just have fun and enjoy yourself! 😀 Thanks for posting and sharing your performance.

I had not been aware of Lee Hazlewood nor this song before your post. Love the song – of course I also like some good dark comedy as well! I will be adding this song to my “want to learn” list as a result of your post.

As far as timing and tempo is concerned, playing with a metronome is helping me quite a bit. I find the metronome very useful in learning the daily challenges as well. Also, I play along with the song to get a feel for the tempo and style of the song. If I need to slow it down to learn it I use a couple apps on my iPhone or iPad:

The Chord Detector

Capo

They both provide the chords to the song, ability to adjust song tempo and the ability to transpose the song to a different key.

A warning about Capo – I bought it years ago for a one time fee. Now the app developers are charging an annual fee and up charging for features. Just wrong if you ask me.

The Chord Detector is cheap and cheerful.

There are also any number of alternative apps that do similar things that may be more up-to-date than these.

Play on! 🎸

Thanks also for the reference to John Marytn – listening to Solid Air just now. Loving it.

I loved the vibe and groove of your improve @charlie_d as well as the way you combined a number of techniques (harmonized scale, single note scale, harmonics, etc). Well done!
