Terrific job!

I’ve been working on this too since it came out a few weeks ago – listening to you inspires me to keep with it.

I enjoyed your video Ernesto, one of my favorite songs and one I play often.

Not an easy one to sing, well done.

Well done Christopher_H , I played along with you – one of my favorites.

I can’t do the harmonica part, kudos to you.

Fantastic! Enjoyed listening, glad you shared.

So you did spend considerable time on the song and technique of it Marisa.

May I ask for advice on learning a song – I’ve been in TAC now since 6/1/20 and playing since 1/1/20. I have a bunch of songs in my “song book” which I have always loved and wanted to play, probably 20 of them in there now.

Problem is, and a good problem to have because there are so many great songs, I keep adding to the song book without mastering any single one of them.

Reading your reply above, and watching your videos for Landslide and Harvest Moon, makes me understand how much effort goes into really owning a song.

What would you advise – pick something and really hone in on it or keep playing them all and gradually improve on them each over time?

It’s hard to be patient, the urge is to play everything I like. But I wonder if this holds me back.

Any thoughts on this you can share?

Take care,

David

Wonderful song and love the tone of your guitar ErikBog.

Really glad I gave this a listen, you should be proud of this production – well done.

Bravo Marisa.

A lovely song. I admire fingerpicking very much and keep working on my technique. I can tell you’ve been working hard on yours by watching this video.

How long have you been practicing this song to be at this point with it?

Regards,

David

Interesting, I’ll give it a shot.

Been playing for 17 months (15 in TAC) and one thing I’ve learned early on Marty is singing while playing is really hard. I have new respect for performers who do both.

This is a journey, hopefully I’ll get to the point to be able to do both seamlessly.

Thanks for the advice,

David

Well done Marisa, one of my favorite Neil Young songs.

It’s a tricky one so I need to work my way up to it, but it’s on my list.

Thank you for sharing,

David

Well done Marty.

I am actually learning this song myself now and have the chord progression down pretty well. But the strumming pattern gives me trouble. It’s hard to decipher listening to the original because there are multiple guitars playing, so I have just been reverting to the standard D-DU-U-DU strum. Just doesn’t quite feel right that way though.

I’ll watch yours a few more times. I like the use of your pull-offs. I can do the one on the main G-chord rather easily now, but see you also sprinkle in a few more to spice it up. Nice touch.

Take care,

David

Fantastic song and backdrop Jeff!

I’ll be adding “Melissa” to my list of songs to learn now.

Well done,

David

[David_G]

Thanks Jeff.

I’m in the Syracuse, NY area. Where are you located?

Coming up on my 1 year Taciversary? How long you been in TAC?
