Sharing new things and fretboard discoveries are what make the forum so useful to me so no apologies for sharing insights.

Makes me smile. Lots of fun and another great holiday song idea. Thanks for sharing. Been missing your posts so happy to enjoy another. I trust you are well.

Good use of mostly single string melody with supporting arpeggios. Fits very well with this song. If I can remember to do it I think I’ll add this to my holiday repertoire this fall.
Good work.

Nice to see another good post from you. Nice job.

As @Loraine said, they come again. I don’t think the intent is to keep you from access. I suspect it is to keep the platform from becoming mired in every offering TAC has all the time and trying to maintain that. Plus it doesn’t fit the learning concept. But I also have favorites and I like to refresh and being an old man, Old Man is one of those for me. The lesson names are:
I’m a lot like you, So Much More, Rolling Home To You, Take a Look at my Life, and Run Around the Same Old Town.
I think that if one goes to another person’s profile and that person has checked these lessons as favorites that you can pull them up and link to the lesson. I would print out the tab for practice. I haven’t looked but I may have “hearted” these lessons. (I’d check but I am afraid I might lose this post and don’t want to peck it in again.) But there are ways to get to past lessons so don’t let it derail your guitar journey.

That is a beautiful guitar room, but climate controls are hit or miss. There is little like a health dilemma to bring gratitude back in focus. Best to you.

Now that’s a major class curve ball. Prayers for your return to a new normal.

Nice progress. Keep adding those layers. Thanks.

Thanks. I started to play along and then noticed the capo when it came into frame. Whoops. Had to adjust. Happy Valentines back to you.

I watch the lesson and then practice it 10 minutes. That usually comes out to 20-25 minutes. At that point, it is what it is and I go on. Done and complete, my compulsive habit is satisfied. My commitment to myself and my guitar journey is met.
BUT I often (and usually) voluntarily come back later in the day and review or work on a quarterly task or play a song that is on my heart and that might be from a few minutes to over an hour. Some days because of life’s overhead it doesn’t happen. That time has no comparison thinking and is a free will effort and fun and annoys my wife because it is usually in her way. I do keep multiple guitars out of the case in habited spaces to facilitate this free will effort.

I think it initially was because when you said walk down two or for frets, you meant down toward the body of the guitar not down musically. One I reframed the orientation, I got it.

Just now seeing this. What a great space.

Having lots of fun mixing several different techniques together to make an old rock song work on that acoustic. And even got the harmonica involved. That was a very entertaining post. Thanks.

I get it completely. I’ve been working for some time now to set up a little recording area using a Mac Mini and Reaper and OBS software. I want to make the process easy but have not succeeded. When my college age multimedia major grandson was here Christmas we had it all working but I’m now stuck in the learning curve by myself. It is fun and great but it is far away from being easy. There is much to be said for an iPhone and a quiet place. Since I don’t readily have others to play with, I’d like to be able to record and play over myself. But in the meantime it reduces posting frequency. It is nice that there are so many facets of learning available in a guitar journey. By the way, nice electric too.
