    Sorry, I have not. I’ll watch your thread in case someone has a reply with some experience. I’ve always just done a video and uploaded it to YouTube and pasted the link on the TAC website.

    I always like a good Beatles song. Thanks for making me smile. I can’t give much advice on the reverb although I concur with others about the vocals effect being a little strong. I am experimenting and learning now about amplifying Acoustic and vocals and it is a whole body of knowledge and world of its own. Another part of our guitar journey.

    You appear to be standing. Good idea if you will be performing in a gig. Especially with that much energy going into the strum. Rehearsing every variable is helpful. Nice rendition. Thanks for sharing again with the community.

    Thanks. I love the folk songs from the American expansion. We used to sing them in music class but my grandchildren no longer learn them in school. Failure to pass the history is a long term curriculum mistake I think.

    Sound like you are using a metronome. She is a cruel taskmaster but that helps. I have no great insights since repetition to build that muscle memory is how it happens, but it will happen. I have one exercise “Mississippi Timing” that Tony does about once a year that I keep coming back to that I have yet to get imprinted on my fingers, but it does come along a little easier each time I visit it. Your chord transition works well for me with Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond so you might try it with that and sing along for some fun to add to the practice.

    I had not noticed, but went back and looked at those two pieces and yes, the “stick” is a quarter note. I think it looks odd because it is percussive with a seizes of x’es on the staff. I also think it is odd because it has the x’es sharped depending on the key. You make an interesting observation. You have a sharper eye than I.

    Congratulations

    . One week into a fantastic journey. I posted session 1400 this week and can truthfully say it has been fun all the way for me. Saddle up for a 30 day ride.

    I like the mixing and experimenting. The result is a fun piece. Thanks for sharing and especially taking the time to record and post. And I know it is satisfying even to have a vocabulary to describe what you are doing.

    Well with all these comments in this thread, no one has said, “DON’T GO!”.

    So I’ll say it. “DON’T GO”. Stay and play.

    What are you using to record the video? A web cam? An iPad or iPhone? A video cam?
