    You should be close to a whole song but unless that song is public domain (which is not true of most contemporary songs) TAC, an educational site, won’t violate copyright laws. I was not aware until recently of all the compliance issues with. Cover Songs. You can check out YouTube conversations on the matter.. Apparently the Eagle copyright owners (and others) are extra real sticklers. One of our TAC members had his YouTube account terminated (there is a thread in the forum about it) and lost his postings over a Cover Song he posted improperly per YouTube policies .But this way you get to make the song yours and have more fun.

    Yessiree. On to the Daily Challenge but don’t look for perfection. Just do your 10 minutes and let it accumulate. If you have an interest in something particular, there are also skills courses.

    And it goes so well with the F#m barre chord! Good win.

    Good job. Those little things add up to much joy. The techniques may not seem interesting as you do them but suddenly you realize you know which string to pick and your muscle memory knows where it is.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
