    That’s right. It DOES work. All you have to do is have fun for at least 10 minutes a day. Good win.

    Great selection. I had forgotten about it, but it reminded me of “Going My Way”. That movie always made me tear up when the choir sang, “Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral” to Father Fitzgibbon’s mother. Thanks for brightening the day.

    Good rendition of a good writer. Too bad he passed at 34 from alcohol poisoning. He had more songs left in him.

    I think the new guitar sounded full. I like its sound. And good benchmark performance.

    Interesting look. And a cutaway. I’ll check out the video.

    Good benchmark. One of the interesting things about us all doing a benchmark song from the same source is that I can see what you are doing and think, “Well @Philb has that piece down very well. I need to work on that more.” Great encouragement.

    Great push forward to play an open mic. I’ve done a couple and always get a rush after the anxiety of the start. Keep at it and I know you’ll have fun.

    Great start and congratulations. I find it helpful to have established the quarterly goals too in addition to the daily challenges. You can have an outcome based goal which is, for me, often a song I want to place in my back pocket or a technique based goal involving a flatpicking or fingerpicking or rhythm/percussion improvement. It doesn’t take long to pick one and it provides some direction and opportunity to celebrate a longer term win.

    You know, I know all this stuff having been here a while. Nit I hadn’t actually looked at it in some time (if ever) since the program has progressed through multiple iterations. It seems complete. Thanks for sharing with the new folks and bringing its availability to the attention of the rest of us.

    Now that is a fun piece of creativity. Thanks for sharing this first ( and good even if not the first) original.

    Which songs? Not sure to what “these” refers.

    Jump right in. And do your 10 minutes faithfully and it will happen. It has for me.
