The more you do, the easier it gets. Congratulations

Yes, some come easier than others. What version of Piano Man are you trying to learn. I would like to work on that one too? I have wanted to learn And I love Her. I have seen some beautiful fingerpicking versions of that on YouTube but haven’t gotten a source to try to add it to my ability to play. So yes, I get it.

Very nice rendition. And kudos to you for following through with your 90 day goal. Those longer goals, once reached, really stay with you in your repertoire. And imprint on your soul. Thanks for sharing.

Very great win. What would you say now after all those sessions in a row is your favorite day? Technique, lick, scales, rhythm, chords? I intentionally broke my streak at 366 because I felt I was starting to check the box rather than have fun each day. So I admire that you’ve maintained a good sense of fun while keeping the streak going. Congratulations.

If you can stay with your 10 minutes a day, you will find an eventual and sustainable path of improvement that can’t help but let you songwriters creativity express itself with accompaniment. Welcome to TAC and congratulations on your small win.

Something we should all do. I had strings on my Christmas list but not one of my kids gave me any. I had a set of special DADGAD strings listed.

Tony (and Tommy Emmanuel) use an AER Compact 60/4. He mentioned that recently on an Acoustic Tuesday. I went for something a little less expensive and have purchased a

One of my 2023 objectives is to learn about amplifying acoustics and gear related thereto. I read a book “Essentials of Acoustic Guitar Amplification from Acoustic Guitar and have re-visited some Acoustic Tuesday episodes in trying to appease my Enneagram Five side. I am also trying to research the recording aspects. Tony’s last episode talked about microphones and I like the Ear Trumpet Labs Edwina (but again a little pricy for this beginner) and I am researching a Scarlett 4i4 Audio Interface to try to hook up to a computer.
Again I am in the middle of this learning process but that is what I have done as if this year end.

Welcome and if you do your “10 minutes” you will reap rich rewards. I assume you are in 30 days to play. And do just that please. Let it be okay and not work. TAC has been a most fulfilling experience for me. After 90 days I splurged for a Lifetime membership. That was almost 1400 playing sessions ago. I don’t get paid for this endorsement. I just testify it works for me.

Congratulations. It makes the TAC Journey so much more fun.

Hey those are the picks you use on your nose, not on a fiddle tune! Ha. Ha. Ha. Good job.

Learning how to use that gear! Nice seasonal performance. Thanks.

Music is a good way to spend the Winter. ( Well I guess that is naive since Music is good any season). Good job.

I appreciate your song. My Mom passed in 2022 and I empathize with your sentiment and heartfelt original song about an intimate aspect of your Dad.
