It’s fingers on a fretboard not eyes on a device that make for fun! Good win.

You are getting braver and better with those barre chords.

If it is in a hard case on Southwest I have checked it.. But most of the time I take a Martin Backpacker in a soft case and carry it on. It will fit in the overhead compartment. I took my Taylor GS mini in a soft backpack two trips back and it worked but it was a hassle as flights were full on Southwest and I had trouble finding enough room. Once they wanted to gate check it but it was a soft case so I talked them into letting me take it onboard. So I am back to using my backpacker the last two flights. There are lots of horror stories. I would not take an expensive guitar in a soft case.

Lyrics are always a good tie to me to remember the chord progressions. I love it when you can start hearing the next chord coming as the lyrics lead the way.

[albert_d]

You are on the right path. Once you know the key you will learn to anticipate the chords that will likely follow. I have found that I don’t need to memorize chords in a song so much as knowing the key gives me and idea of which chords will be in the “package”. And transposing is also much easier.

Congratulations to a year of consistent habit building and growth. Please keep having fun.

[albert_d]

You are super innovative and obviously love music. Thanks for sharing and motivating us with your post.

[albert_d]

You’ll be surprised at how much fun you will have just doing your 10 minutes and not competing with others or your own expectations. The habit building TAC process definitely works if you just relax and let it. It has enhanced my retirement tremendously.

I’d forgot about the dart. My friend Jack Lloyd from Georgetown TX actually won a guitar from that dart board. Anyway Happy TAC five @AttyTJ.

[albert_d]

Thanks. You reminded me of this classic. It had slipped by me. I like it slow deliver pace. Also pulls in a bit of our Ain’t No Sunshine benchmark technique.

[albert_d]

Well, I hope you don’t mind but I pulled out the Ovation and just played along with you. Don’t know the words but riffed all over the chord progression. Ha.

[albert_d]

I liked Willie’s version too but then I’m from Austin. Your version would be good around that old campfire with a refreshing beverage and a few friends dodging the smoke.

[albert_d]

You finger tips may be sore today! Or your shoulder. Ha.

[albert_d]

Solution…. have two guitars.

[albert_d]

Yes. Janet Feld, an instructor had that or something similar she used at the Kerrville Folk Festival. She said they traveled well and sounded good enough with which to teach and perform.
