    Amen to that. And a little theory helps it become even faster.

    Like those who have already posted, I benefited greatly from Fretboard Wizard and from knowing some Music Theory. It has made playing more than memorizing chords and scales and techniques. Beyond playing guitar, It has enriched my general music listening experience. I hear music in a much deeper way. When asked to teach 4th graders Ukulele, it was easy to transfer basic skills from one instrument to another since the theory is all the same. I endorse Fretboard Wixard.

    Good to hear you again. I grew up with a boxer named Gino. I loved that dog. You seem to still be having fun with your journey. Thanks for sharing.

    I wish. I saw him in Austin where I live and in Chicago at the Fretboatd Summit. It is definitely worth it.

    @BarbaraM it has been a while since I’ve reviewed the skills course battery of lessons. I am having trouble understanding your question. Do you have a specific lesson name I can find and see to what you are referring? Is it in “Knowing the Fretboard”? I think by harmonics you may mean playing the root and the third or fifth of a scale together, but you might also mean tapping the string at say the 12th fret and getting a resonating sound.

    Yup. That’s how it goes. I love this song but it has a million words. It’s on my my get ‘r done list.

    Now that was truly fun. Production is a whole other thing. I’ve been playing with it too (with limited success but much curiosity). The performance was quite entertaining. Did you capo up so far for voice range or for the guitar voicing? It sounded good. Thanks for sharing.

    Be careful. Your wisdom is starting to show through! Your life experience is bringing truth to the surface. Harry Truman (I think) said “Compromise is the oxygen of Democracy.” I appreciate the diversity of music and the techniques to produce it. Thanks for your thoughts and early Happy Birthday.

    And I get mine from Tabs. Sorry your last post had no responses. The forum is usually responsive. It is monitored but not driven by TAC. You rarely will find a full song tabbed in TAC unless it is Public Domain. TAC is educational yet respectful of intangible property laws.

    Very nice personal composition. Thanks for sharing it. Now you’ll want to do an Easter hymn.

    It is. It is an ear wig too. My wife wasn’t familiar with the song, but after hearing it she says it stayed with her all day.
