ya you can @PapaMinou . Hearing a small win like that makes me smile ear to ear. Thanks for sharing and play on!

@dr_dave, Whoa,….been a while since I have seen that. Hard to believe that was 3.5 years ago. The only thing really different is I have found something that lives beyond fun. At the time I was at the beginning of expressing myself tone-versationally but totally jazzed by the notion it could be done. Now my tonic vocabulary has reached a place where I can express some more detailed nuance and connect that to meaning. Each time I have a new “small win” I feel even more curious about what lies ahead which provides me the fuel I need to explore an exercise for 20 hours or so. In that practice I get to the place of what lies ahead and it begins again. Beyond the fun is a deep and profound satisfaction. I get to go now where I want to go on my journey, the doubt has been removed. The satisfaction is not necessarily the result (that would be the small win) but rather knowing without a shadow of doubt, the path I am on is leading me to my desire. I just have to keep on walking (pushing that boulder uphill).

Smoody said: “but wanted to see if anyone on here had a good reason why I should re-train myself to use a pick.”
Hi @Smoody , I am going with the quick, easy answer, do it because it is fun and because you can. If you try it and don’t like it, let it go

Hi @Tbeats . Glad you are finding a way to become more than a dabbler. I have no experience with the tip protectors so I won’t speak to that. I do know that your fingers will toughen and callous if you stick with it. Not fun in the short run but the result keeps me playing. I find there is more to it than not having sore finger tips. It provides me better tone and the harder they get the less pressure it takes to make the string ring. I can get on and off a tone faster. If you go with the tips I would be curious to know what you think.

Nice win @Bill_Brown , Me? I just kept after the triplet pulloff hammeron sequence from Wednesdays E scale/solo lesson. There is a magical little rhythmic picking thing going on that has me ever so intrigued. It is the down stroke upstroke in conjunction with the PO, HO that has me hooked.

@dr_dave , I wish I could take credit for some amount of smarts but truth be told Victoria mentioned the “Blog” in another post where people were looking for replays; no link, just that it existed. After my cursory glancing around, not seeing anything, I thought to search it in my browser and it came up. Up at the top of my heading/title there is a small light orange circled star on the right hand side…I think that is the favorite icon.

@William, It is pretty cool when it all starts working. Hope you get it. Determination continues to pay the highest dividends for me.

I never use tabs but sure someone knows.

@Bill_Brown , maybe. I shoot for to intuitive and expressive, until then I just keep messing with it. I can see how applicable this is in other applications. Cool stuff.

@Alfun , I just realized the confusion re April 1 vs April 7: what is titled as April 1 is really April 7. You got that figured and now I do too and we are on the same page😉
-
@dr_dave , I don’t know about the “blog” in general. It is the location where I found the replay but it looks like other information is also there. The link worked just now so maybe the jackhammers and concrete trucks did their jobs.
I really would like a sticker with Floating Tony that says “Whoa There”
-
@dr_dave A little further down I posted about the link in the header next to the TAC logo. Give that a try. I just checked it and got to the replay successfully. Levy also said he is working on a new sidebar icon. Jack hammers and concrete trucks are on site.
