One is basically strumming the strings with the fretting hand laid across them to keep them from resonating. I can do this but the rhythm part is always a challenge and muscle memory work out for me so I get it. It’s not technically hard, but my old brain takes some time to carve those new neurological paths. I hope that helps.

Flows well. Thanks for posting. Soothing.

Good demonstration of a driving Bass of which Tony is so fond. Sounds like your inner political satire ground hog is peaking out from underground and you are having fun with it.

[albert_d]

Congratulations. You are building a great habit. The rewards are being realized. Yea for you.what songs can you strum? Wasn’t that a goal?

Belly up to the Barre with Willy. And Ray Charles too. Bold and courageous you are.

[albert_d]

Ok. So it was all good but my favorite was the rowdy Quarterdeck. Playing with your daughter… how good does it get!

[albert_d]

Short and sweet. Are you looking at a click to know when your 60 seconds are gone? Fun. I use Guitar Tabs a lot.

[albert_d]

You are right. That drop D works well. The song brings up feelings of dorm days and you have done it justice well.

[albert_d]

Gutsy. Discomfort becomes delirium. Way to go and grow.

[albert_d]

I had forgotten. I did these when Tony first put them out. Thanks for refreshing my memory. I’ll try to go back and review the Jamming skills. We used to have an entire Jam Club initiative in TAC pre COVID, but it passed away.

[albert_d]

Dang. That’s a bunch of fun. Heading into 2 years of consistency. You gotta be better than 600 sessions ago. Proud for you.

[albert_d]

What a great win. On Tony’s Wheel of Guitar Improvement (WOGI), my weakest area is playing with others. So I am jealous. Good for you.

[albert_d]

Good win and experienced by many of us who have worked the courses. I am just happy he didn’t hit us with the G shape. That one is literally almost beyond my reach. We will rejoice in the A and E.

I saw Guy Clark numerous times as he played Central Texas and I always loved this song and it spirit.

[albert_d]

I didn’t know that was how it worked. Interesting.
