    Fun performance. You’re got the right attitude. Now you just need to let you beard get raggedy. @outdoorgator starts a new Family Tradition!

    The Spirit of Family is really coming through. 10 years from now at some graduation or wedding this will come back out and they will be laughing with each other again from a more adult perspective. Great idea.

    I’ve just listened to this Martlesham Wilds again after a week or so and, wow, I really like it. You do a bang up job on it.

    I always love playing this song. I either have to transpose it or capo it as you’ve done to keep it my range, but it is a sing a long chorus for sure. Good fun. Thanks.

    What a nice sentiment. I need to check Central Texas again. We lost the Austin Jam Club during COVID.

    Good news that you survived. Many didn’t and friends and family were lost. And happy you are able to get back on your streak. I had a streak going that was becoming a weight. So at 366 days, I broke it on purpose to let those feathers go as Lil Smokies sing. I still have lengthy runs, but if one is occasionally broken, it’s okay. As long as you get back in the groove, you’re good. Speedy recovery wishes to you.

    My overall TAC goal is to be able to play guitar like the piano man plays at the piano bar. He takes a request and we all sing along. So I am delighted you reminded me of this song. I live your carousel 3/4 waltz rhythm.

    You are brave to try to get and keep all those strings in tune. Your chord transitions have really smoothed out. And your confidence has really grown over t your journey with TAC. Thanks for sharIng. (And the song has been a real parenting warning when my boys were still in the nest.)

    I agree with you on two counts. One, your musicality is coming through and Two, don’t redo a recording just because the ending is “avant-garde”. Nice, relaxed performance. Thanks for sharing @Marisa

    I’ve been around TAC now for a while and I would advise simply keeping on keeping on. The 10 minutes adds up and you don’t notice until you do. An example… I have liked the Johnny Rodriquez hit, “Dance With Me Just One More Time”. I start out with a slow and simple waltz (3/4) time. C, Dm, G, chords and learn the chords and how to transition them (skills courses). Understand they are a 1, 2m, 5 progression (from Fretboard Wizard which I love), Understand they are a C scale so I add a short break that simply plays the melody. Then I pick up bass runs for for chord transitions and pentatonic scales for outdo. And the simple song starts to grow into something. Patience and perseverance Is the key. Well really the key is having fun because then I don’t need to be patient or persevere. I’m going to do a quick and dirty unpolished one take and post it to demonstrate. And it may not be good, but I’m having fun so I’ll leave good the Studio Professionals.
