That is a good win. The good thing about the Gm barre is that it is movable.

My experience is different. I use the tabs daily and (in the rare instance that they differ from what Tony plays) it only excites me that my Fretboard Wizard acquired knowledge, let’s me understand why it is still “okay”. I often vary from the tab in my last few minutes of “the 10 minutes” and keep it fun by exploring what else musically and theoretically works. It is absolutely vital to me to have fun even in the face of the Rule of the Tab. Hum… I muse. Philosophically, are there no bad tabs, just unforeseen dissonance?

You’re routine is way heavier than mine and it can’t help but move forward if you can keep the fun in it. One thing I picked up from a forum thread is the idea of reducing your playlist to paper (or virtual tablet), then noting the last time you played through it to keep the repertoire current. “Lyrics” memory is a harder piece of the task and all performers struggle with it if you ask them. So if you want to just pick up a guitar and play more than an instrumental, a playlist helps. I also am trying to develop themed playlists like: Traveling songs, Love Songs, Drinking songs, Grandkid songs, Train songs, etc. Each playlist may have only a few tunes, but in a “hand me the guitar”setting it helps one remember something to play.

Heartfelt and nice arpeggios with a few bass runs. Good work.

[albert_d]

“Picking” up the habit, I see. Good job.

Adios. Vaya con Dios.

Way to be a pillar of consistency

Nothing wrong with “right sizing”. We do it after kids leave. The nest so why not with our guitars? Good choice ober shoulder discomfort.

[albert_d]

Great news. Good solid win. Way to go.

[albert_d]

Call it a victory and head to the house. Next time you pick it up, it will be there in a flash.

[albert_d]

Yes. Worthy of a celebration. Go buy a new pick.

Great win MikeGaurnier. Getting the brain involved with just the right balance is tough. And the same is true when the lyrics are added.

[albert_d]

Ha. When it rains, it pours.

I have several tuners but I almost always use an app on my phone or iPad as I always have it with me. Also a metronome if I want it. Cheap and convenient so I’m with you Cadgirl.

Hedge fund manager, I get it. It sleeted and iced here today so I’ll be doing some hedge fund management when it warms up.
