    They are coming around again in December. But you can find them in your favorites if you so marked them. If not there are others who have and they can be found in their favorites. I think @Moose408 or @outdoorgator has a spreadsheet of past lessons with the links too.

    Why choose? They all have different emotional pulls. Eat the whole buffet! But I’m lazy so I go with whatever is being presented this month.

    Seriously, I have found that the quarterly goals are a sometimes overlooked part of the TAC guitar journey. By focusing only on daily challenges one can lose the flight path. It is like only looking at the flight instruments on the panel and forgetting to get your head out of the cockpit and see the horizon and the beauty of the journey. Make a few quarterly goals and don’t forget that they are there while doing the daily challenges.

    The end of the quarter is arriving soon.

    Good to have you back. I have always enjoyed your posts and performances, especially when you rope family members in with you.

    If that helps you keep it between the navigational beacons…

    Your backdrop makes me hungry. Maybe the chef is making a cheeseburger!

    Tony will often (I. The lesson) suggest that while learning to sing to simplify to just the chord progression until one has the lyrics and feel for the timing. Next step is to go back and add the sophistication. I’ve noted now after having it pointed out that many performers (even old blues players) do the same when singing. So there is a starting point.

    You had to stand up for this one. Wouldn’t seem right to play it sitting. I couldn’t really hear the 3/4 time. Liked the up the neck riff.

    3/4 time is so good a way to convey emotion in a song. I love it. Thanks.

    You guys! You are a hoot. Interesting use of (I assume) finger snaps to replicate castinetas.

    Welcome to TAC. What the others have said is so true. Work at it but without comparing yourself to anyone else. Tony says that Comparison Thinking is Where Fun Goes to Die.

    Yes it is muted. It is easy to do by just slightly touching it with the finger on the low E string. The 2 (A) isn’t needed for the G Chord.

    You have a really good therapist! I feel better already just hearing your song. Good job. When you play a gig, what confidence percentage of the lyrics do you like to have down compared to being prompted?
