Making that Taylor ring out beautifully @Marisa !! Your interpretation of this classic tune fits your vocal style very well. Clearly ready to add to your set list.

You are off to a great start with your TAC journey @JoeyKaye ! Hope you find folks near you that are actively involved. Many seem to come and go. Consider the lifetime membership option prior to your first annual renewal. I am glad I did. Play on and prosper!

👏Nicely done @Marty69 It is one of my favorite tunes. Did you know besides the original lyrics, there are both an Easter and Christmas versions? Look forward to more of your postings in 2023!

@Silver_Siren the advice @albert_d provides is wise in that it works to build consistency into your own personal routine. My advice after two and a half with TAC is to do the 30 Days to Play and explore the Skill Courses. I got too hung up at first thinking I must learn each Daily Challenge. perfectly. For me that was a buzz kill until I realized to just become acquainted with the lesson’s concept at first. After all, they are repeated so you won’t miss out doing them again. After completing the introductory courses, I discovered completing the Fretboard Wizard (original version, newer one now even better) very beneficial what it takes to become a guitar player. I had to repeat it a couple times to really grasp the concepts.
My best advice, however, is to keep it fun. That way, you pick up that Taylor often, even just for just 10 minutes a day (hint: you will end up playing it much longer!)

Indeed, good advice above. It takes a while to discover your own personal path to follow within TAC. Explore the skill courses. I found not to dwell or fret (pun intended) over the DC’s at first. Don’t worry they repeat after about 52 weeks. My first year I spent 10 to 20 minutes with each to get the concept but not perfecting the skill. Now as I am over 2 years with 600+ playing (log-in) sessions with TAC, I spend more time with the DC lessons that match up with my 90 day goal. @DHeaton enjoy discovering your best acoustic life YOUR way!

Bet that was gratifying for you to find sticking with TAC helped to achieve a memorable time with your friends. Congratulations @Christopher_H 👏

Very nicely done, @Kitman You really captured the true essence of the song. It really shows you have worked hard in developing your finger picking! Yes, slower tempo but effective. The instrumental interludes are very well done. Your singing matches up great with it.
Congratulations for successfully meeting your 90 day goal! 👏

Major milestone for you @Nash . Congratulations!

Congratulations for two great guitar wins! Finding your own special pic and new Martin guitar will help you become a better guitarist. The making for a great 2023!

@OhWowMan – all the above are very good recommendations. I have been using a BOSS Acoustic amp. It’s got some nice features such as a looper and harmony operated by foot switch, inputs for mic and guitar. I use it for playing at long term care facilities as a volunteer for hospice. It’s easy to travel with. I got it using Reverb for substantially less than retail price as it was an open box item from Guitar Center.

I just bought a Boucher SG-52-M. The shop owner won’t let it out of his shop without GIVING me a guitar humidifier! You are so smart to carefully watch after your “Arnold”, a truly legendary guitar.
I’ve named my new baby “Butch” as it is the loudest dreadnought I ever heard plus this Canadian guitar means butcher in French. Made from some prime cuts (pun intended) of beautiful wood.
As special instruments we are obligated to maintain ours within a safe humidity and temperature range for another generation to enjoy beyond us.

I like the Dunlop grippers too. Since using them not one has ended up in a sound hole.🕳

Thanks @TMutter for your encouragement. Still haven’t cut my hair in spite of my wife of 48 years giving me “the evil eye”. 👁
