Well @MikeGaurnier I am a bit late seeing this but your second Taciversary musing really does demonstrate you are a true guitar player. With TAC you clearly have improved your physical attributes with guitar but, perhaps even more significant, the mental ones to enjoy the journey present and future. I look forward to continued forum dialogues with you and, since we are located not too far way from each other in North Carolina, the opportunity to get together.

Elvis-style vocals for a John Denver classic- I like it @KevinZ

Muscle memory is a marvelous thing! Nice win @johnny67 to train your thumb to go “on auto pilot”.

Sounds like a wonderful experience for you @albert_ !

Very Slick (pun intended) playing and singing @Marisa – always enjoy your performances – you have clearly worked hard to deserve such a reward. Still have my original JA LP’s. Love to hear you do “Somebody to Love” from the Surrealistic Pillow album also from 1967.✌️

Ask your Physical Therapist if you can start some of the “Stretching to Play” exercises Tony details in the skills section. I developed my own outline summary of each (I will send you as a message if you ask me to) but @davefive did a wonder pictorial of it: https://bit.ly/tac-tonys-daily-stretches-pdf that can be downloaded. I look at it each day before I stretch (had to laminate it since used so much).
With the physical restrictions it would be a great time to exercise mentally by going through the skills courses that interest you for the knowledge they provide even without holding a guitar. Have a successful and speedy recovery @Janet C !!

Thank you Marisa! Great recent rendition of White Rabbit by you.

@Guy_H I appreciate your letting me know your personal experience with both guitars. So many guitars and so little time (and funds). Thanks to all who responded! Life certainly is full of choices!!

I sincerely appreciate your encouraging comments @Bill_Brown as I noticed you are very actively involved in the forums with offering support to those like me that are early in their TAC experience. This particular song does have an impact on anyone who watched a child grow up much too quickly.

A drone can be defined as an extended melody over a single bass note. The drone technique usually involves playing a melody along a single string, while simultaneously and repeatedly playing a single bass note underneath that melody.

Hello @Michelle-PSL – Yes, Larrivee OM’s have been recommended to me. Will have to try them. Looking forward to seeing and hearing you play your new CEO-7 on Play For Us! I am sure that guitar will be a dream come true!

The whole process of recording and posting a video should get easier with your next one. Took me forever to get the video recording on my I-Phone to transfer correctly to my computer, until I used airdrop. Let’s hear another from you @Whibs . Hope you will be able to join in for the October 6 live TAC party!

Thanks Ron-N for the follow up. I am a OM-sized guy myself. At some point I would like to have a Zager, likely the 900ce-R OM. There is clearly a 50% mark up from manufacture to retail outlets on the cherished brands. From comments like yours and the many positive ones in reviews about Zager (negative ones are very rare), the Zager shines bright with the quality and playability features. I’ve gotten a lot of useful responses from my recent post under the Community Support Forum under my heading “Looking to Add to Arsenal” posted September 10, 2021. Regardless, it is nice to have a wish list of guitars to dream about!
By the way how are your barre chords and those B shapes going for you? They are a challenge for me but I keep trying.
