Can’t post too much about having fun!

Wipe that grin off your face! You are having too much Joie de vive.

Great job on staying consistent @Guitargeezer-Jack

You will also find that the consistency of play and using that pinky through the Monday exercise in TAC will eventually make that stretch a reality. Welcome @TravisB to TAC. You will be amazed how the 10 minutes of deliberate practice will accumulate into success

[albert_d]

Fun and soothing.Good job.

@Mrfredsporty -Keep eating those TAC prunes and you those runs will get easier and easier (too much time around my middle school grandkids)

Seek and ye shall find. Knock and the door shall be opened unto you. Asanas and you shall be limber. @BethL quite innovative and light fun. Thanks.

@Kitman Great job. You are on your way to a lot of fun. “BILLY” was one of my first flat picking tunes too. You have it. Keep it up.

Congratulations @SherryH I just completed my 3rd recently too. Time I have enjoyed and feel was well invested. I’m from Austin too. Pre COVID we had an Austin Jam Club that fell apart. But one of the days, this summer, we may try to get back for a friendly circle of music. I’ll let you know if that is okay with you?

I have a Martin Backpacker I usually take with me @Guitargeezer-Jack but being my focus was to be on the bride of my youth, she appreciated that I left it behind in her honor. (She didn’t mind the Theory books because she was napping as we traveled anyway). That’s part of the trick to getting to 50 years.

And the fun thing is…. I understood everything you just wrote. And even why it adds color to that transition. The theory dimension makes the playing aspect easier. And as my brain ages it makes for much less memorization. I’ve always had a good capacity to memorize things, but with the theoretical understanding it is not nearly as necessary. I welcome our future musings @MikeGaurnier about why or how the music is working. I also am eager to see what the FBW rework looks like.
