Now that is some fun right there. I’m trying to get some looper skills myself right now.

@Fletch strikes again. Something to think about.

Well, this was a new song to me. Not sure how I missed it, but it sure has the sound and sentiment of teardrops in your beverage of choice. I think heard a little chord change and back again in the little break.

I would guess standard tuning would be either an open G (G-D-G) like for a slide guitar or perhaps the top 3 strings standard (G-B-E) so you could get a lot of triads.i think my preference would be the later. What a fun thing to pursue. The grandkids must love it.

Wow. Even recorded in a studio. My feedback includes this background. The average song is about 3 minutes long. Some say this originated because that was the length of a 45 (and 78) record so radio programming was built around that length. As technology changed with Compact Disk and beyond, most songs still stay in the 3-4 minute range. (There are exceptions of course. Jimi Hendrix and Dylan had 20 minute songs, but they got limited play.) Your song is a little over 5 minutes. That said it is way better than anything I could do record. You and your friends are to be congratulated. Thanks.

I ran across this again and this time I noticed how well you use your thumb on the Low E in your D chord. Good technique to add texture. I forget to do that sometimes so must remember I can. Enjoyed it again. Thanks.

And your off to the races!

I remember this. It was my Senior Year. There was a very wide range of music from folk to rock, from Seeger to Simon and Garfunkel, from Goldsboro to Johnny Cash, from Jose Feliciano to The Rolling Stones, from Aretha to Petula Clark. It’s likely the same now. I’m just a different kind of Senior now.

Congratulations. As you know by now there is no destination only progress on our guitar journey. And personal enjoyment and fulfillment. I retired a little while ago and TAC and the musical journey really has become a great and fun component of retirement for me and mine.

A cruise piano bar favorite. Along with Billy Joel songs. Thanks for sharing. (And so many lyrics).
-
You definitely have a groove started there. Those picks bring out the tone. Thanks for sharing your progress.

If you have a song you know you want to play, there is usually a YouTube instructional video. Guitar Tabs is a place to find songs too. And I like Lauren Bateman too.

Good job. Yes, the lyrics seem to get as hard as the music on some of these songs. I’m still trying to get all the Hotel California lyrics down on our benchmark song.
-
The rhythm and dynamics and TAC technique subtleties you’ve acquired really make this song pop. Nice performance.

Enjoyed the dynamics especially with the drunken sailor. Minor keys go well with struggles.
