Nice to see you climbing back on that horse. Your tenaciousness is inspiring.

I don’t recall a reggae song off hand that is used to build the techniques around, but he does cover techniques that emphasize the upstrokes on the off beat that I’ve incorporated into some reggae style songs I’ve joined in with others playing around the campfire.

Good song and good rendition.

Congrats. Growth is the such great motivation.

Nice place to build your own Hobbit Hole.

Stop it. You look like you are having too much fun!

Nah. Just hop in on Monday this week. Sweet Home Chicago. And don’t beat yourself up if you don’t get it in 10 minutes. Just do the best you can. The lesson will come around again and you’ll be pleased and amazed with your improvement. The system works even though it makes us perfectionists uncomfortable.

Good benchmark. All of us will eventually have this song on our back pocket.

Good insight into Tony’s idea about jumping ahead as a transition. I find though that I have to slow down on Wagon Wheel or the song sounds rushed. The tendency is to speed up. These hammer ons will make one do that.

You’ll get it. Muscle memory just takes repetition and as long as you are having fun you keep working at it. None of us are striving for record contracts… just a little music to brighten our lives.

Love a little Don Williams. Good job and great way to spend a rainy day. Please send some of that rain to Texas.

Ok. I grinned all the way through this. Remember the release well and still have the vinyl. But wouldn’t it be nice to be only 64? Fun post.

Some day you will love Fretboard Wizard but the E is 3 notes (E, G#, B) and the A is 3 notes (A, C#, E).

Tony will talk about singing along on the Rhythm Lesson.

Condolences. Been there. Getting back into the music is a good and healing idea.
