@Marisa what a gem you blessed us with. Not many people are able to perform a song like this. Wonderfully consistent finger picking with the vocal style of your own. As mentioned above, there is a resemblance to the work of other female artists such as Janis Ian as well as, I add, Jewel (fortunate to have attended both their concerts). I believe you have found your musical niche.
Perhaps you might consider the Grammy winning song “At Seventeen” by Ian. A great song later covered by Celine Dion.

Very well done @Braden A great tribute to TVZ. You are already using techniques taught within TAC. Suspect you will quickly grasp the more advanced ones offered by Tony. You joined us at a great time as Tony is revising his format by often applying familiar songs to weekly lessons. Wonderful to have you along with us Braden.

Your account is far too common. As a RN who worked with patients and their families dealing with dementia, as well as seeing my own father’s memory impairment due to brain cancer, the cruelty of evil actors is more prevalent than most people realize. I not only witnessed “friends” deceive seniors but telemarketers and unethical trades people taking advantage of these vulnerable souls.
Alzheimer’s Disease is a double loss for love ones as it takes an individual’s memory first before the body physically surrenders.
As others have said, that twelve string appears to be providing you comfort. It’s common for individuals with dementia to retain musical recognition. Janet, if you have the opportunity, you might want to play for him.
Nice rendition of this John Prine tune.

Very well done! Keep it up young lady. Always great to see those who start guitar at an early age. Check out this guitarist: https://www.youtube.com/user/Gabriella9797
One of my personal favorites.

A very good “therapy” session. Beautifully done finger picking and vocals. From you Marisa, I expect nothing less.

@Marty72 – that 12 really rings out! This Clapton tune suits your vocals very well. I feel blessed I attended one of his concerts in 2001. Have that concert poster still on a wall. He had some Blues greats perform with him. Keep cranking them out my TAC friend!☮

Noticed you just joined us guitar geeks, welcome Patty! I hope you will find as much joy and satisfaction as I have following TAC over time. PS – the 10 minutes each day works (it ends up much longer once one picks up the guitar!) Keep playing.

Oops, your long locks confused this old geezer. Play on young man!

Thank you, Mike. Good to hear from you.

It is said volunteerism is good for ones health. Shouldn’t squander any gifts we have.

I agree @albert_d John Prine tunes are also well received as they provide insight into life. Thanks for being out there.

What a lovely reply @Loraine. Strange that I am still shy about playing in front of various family members including my wife!
