    It is a problem for me too. I’m trying out a loop machine to try to somewhat compensate.

    You guessed it. More TV. I still watch too much. It’s the glowing stone that enraptures all the sailors who gaze upon it to the point they forget to sail the ship until it runs aground.

    That is so great a win. For years I had the memory to play songs because they were memorized. Now with the theoretical understanding they make sense. The veil is lifted and the key is easy to transpose and you can hear the chord change coming. Welcome to the joy of theory. Congratulations.

    The site looks different now but the value of consistency in playing a regimented routine is surely here. Welcome back.

    Heartfelt and well played. Did you have a source for the tab or did you figure it out? Townes was a favorite of ours here in Austin.

    Got a little percussive technique going there! Enjoy the new Recording King. Nice.

    Y’all all have such a treat to anticipate as the 30 days become 30 months. I’d spring for a lifetime membership and Fretboard Wizard (unsolicited non TAC affiliated personal advice) and settle in for lifestyle of growth, fun, and fulfillment.

    Congratulations. 365 spins around the axis and 365 10 minutes (at a minimum) sessions with your axes.

    Last year I intentionally broke my streak at 366 days just to prove to myself I was in charge and not the counter. But I still have very long stretches. Again congratulations and keep having consistent fun.

    Guitars are platforms that have different functions just like kitchen utensils have different functions. There are various pots and pans in the kitchen with unique properties. You might be able to make one pot or pan do all the cooking but it isn’t optimal. Electric is certainly different than acoustic. And acoustics might be around in different tunings for convenience or one might have steel strings and another nylon. It’s a luxury like having more than one pan or pot to bake or boil or fry. Or at least that’s the way I heard it.

    Wise move my fellow retiree. Particularly I would recommend adding some music theory (FBWizard as a start). Suddenly it all works together and social media’s passive hold is weakened.

    These blues challenges should go well with the blues of back pain. Speedy recovery.
