I missed the 60,s not by much and the tapes I bought were always old and greatest hits or best of something. Biggest bang for a buck multiple hits instead of 1 or 2. So I almost wore out my CCR tape never thought I would ever play sing them so glad I pursued music again. You can relate more to the Summer of 69 song post I did here Thanks for listening in and commenting glad you did.

Nice job hand clap cant use emojis the new link worked I got paused from reacting all of a sudden no reason for 24hrs then restored no issues since. Some system software could think I was a scammer based on algorithims. You tube gets a lot of scam activity and makes mistakes with user accts. trying to police it.

I know @Loraine Glenn C songs are great. The original had so much going on that I didnt have. So I made a campfire unplugged version. Some were not happy that it was not a clone rendition. But the overwhelming majority were good with it. Nice to know I didnt miss the mark. Thanks for listening in and commenting.

Piano is in your future dont need the finger press can play a lot just make a effort to teach your left hand the melody new e pianos can shift the high side to the low note side use the right for base notes and best of all anything you learn on guitar transfers to piano chords notes and the like all the same just different places. Best of luck in your guitar keep on pickin ha ha

Now that is a story in itself @bronhookyahoo-ca truth is I started young but work got in the way so I barely had time to practice. Then illness in my joints took over and I couldnt practice or play. Guess you could say the music was in me because my guitars collected dust but I wanted to sing and play. So I bought a 25 buck piano on clearance and played that until I could figure out a way to heal my hands. Medical system couldnt figure out my issue so I did tried an out the box fix did research applied natural repair used open C chord on guitar as my feedback when I could hold an open C without pain knew I had the right direction. Picked up the guitar and started playing again. Joined guitar teaching courses online courses once my internet connection would allow it. So about 4 years some chords cant use normal finger pos not enough down press. So that there is no buzzing. Got a real nice playing guitar in Nashville that almost plays like an electric. Still have buzzing with my Martin and 12 string but keep trying never give up one day I will play them cleanly again. Guitar any music you do is a Journey you will have ups and downs reward your self when you get small wins learn some finger pick patterns you like and flat pick patterns. Strumming patterns. I mix picking with strumming to fill the song dynamics more. Pick songs you like strum with guitar muted along side the original when you have the count 4 /4 3/ 4 6/ 8 then apply your vocals but above all make it fun enjoy your journey.

Thanks @Philb truth is I go to Jams and feel out of place have to play a certain type of song. That everyone can follow so the song choices are limited. I have friends that have a band and sing with them when I am not dancing normaly 1 or 2 songs. I did community theatre musicals had the commitment of practice and shows because I had the lead roles in many plays. Being a guest singer with a band allows me a chance to dance with some singing when asked. I like it that way I sing and play for the old folks assisted living just to give back and get over performing close in front of people. Always get butterflies in the stomach when performing so I purposely expose myself to it. When I make a commitment I stick to it having lead roles in musicals means you have to be there every scene 6 to 8 weeks 12 to 14 shows always took vacation time off you get so tired and everyone depends on you. After having a taste of that I am fine with guest music ha ha. Just enjoying learning music and letting it make me feel good. Thanks for listening in and commenting so glad you did.
