Nice one @Braden redoing songs is hard and you did it well. I do that once in awhile Tony suggested we should redo songs see how far you have come. So don’t feel you are the only one revisiting some songs are so good they deserve it. Keep on pickin ha ha.

[KevinZ]

Hey thanks so much @Braden once I can get the 3 count playing without having to constantly think about it. It gives me the freedom to sing with feelings that I think the song deserves. Very much appreciated you commenting so nice. Hope all is well

[KevinZ]

Thanks @Philb its been a hassle not slipping into 4 count but finally getting to where I can control it and sing at the same time. Very much appreciated you commenting letting me know I am getting there.

I really like to dance a waltz large tiny tiny steps 1 large any direction 2 small steps soon you will flowing across the floor keep your shoulders up so your partners is at a comfortable level. Give your partner a warning what direction you are going to move with your left hand raise it a bit in the direction you are going to move. Because I like waltz music so much I kept after trying to learn how to play them. Nice to know I am finally getting there. So thanks for listening in and commenting. Very much appreciated so grateful you enjoyed the unplugged campfire rendition.

Thanks @lecassandra waltz is nice to dance grew up in the country and country dances you had to be able to square dance shotiz waltz jitter bug ish the music was always behind the latest and greatest but we were glad to have it. Never thought I would be playing waltz songs but I am glad I kept at it. So very much appreciated you listening in and commenting. So glad you enjoyed the unplugged emotional campfire rendition.

Thanks @Marty74 it is a good song looking forward to hearing your version. But so many lyrics was just about at my limit to memorize and play at the same time. Took a lot of takes to get one postworthy ha ha just about at the limit of what my mind could handle. Very much appreciated you listening in and commenting. So glad you enjoyed the unplugged rendition and found it enjoyable.

Hey thanks I like the key change also you are very perceptive the original did it but had a full orchestra to help with the change. I did not so I made up a change that would work with it unplugged. Much appreciated you listening in and commenting. So glad you found the emotional campfire rendition enjoyable.

[KevinZ]

Thanks @Loraine very much appreciated you commenting. Glad you enjoyed the unplugged rendition

[KevinZ]

Thanks @Braden I appreciate you taking the time to listen in and commenting. Its a nice song caught my attention. So I put something together and covered it. And the lyrics tell a good story. One that a lot of people can relate with.

Thanks @petelanger for listening in and commenting. Very much appreciated so grateful you found the unplugged rendition enjoyable. I have not covered Suspicious Minds but know and like the song. Will have to learn it and memorize it going forward. I listen around me and when I hear a song I like be it on radio or adds I decide to see what complexity is needed to do it. Can it be done unplugged or only electric distortion is needed flat picked or finger picked. How much verses does it have currently six is about the limit of my memory ha ha.

[KevinZ]

Thanks @Bill_Brown had many takes on this one memorizing the many verses was just about the limit of my memory ha ha. Much appreciated you commenting. Alan Jackson had a full string section all I have is my guitar I did some improvisation put something together.

I had the same problems my joints were so bad I couldn’t hold an open C chord because it hurt to hold finger pressure on the neck. I used Prayers Poems and Promises as a feedback. The pain was so bad I gave up guitar and started playing piano so at least I could sing to an instrument. So I did research on what and how to get my joints back found out my mom brother , sister , and aunt all had the same issue. They went the drug route I didn’t I went the natural route tried herbs, supplements, olive oil, diet CBD. Nothing got me past my feedback open C chord. So my guitars collected dust then one day I ran across Nikola Teslas Violet Ray online. I did some research into its theory doing electrical and Instrumentation for 40 years in the power industry I thought they had merit. It worked great I was so happy when I could hold a open C but that meant I had to start over getting my hands to work right again. Soon I picked the guitar up and started playing. You have that drive and desire if you want to know about the Violet Ray I will help you. I have helped others and they were amazed at how it worked. Mine cost me 75 bucks and now I don’t need it anymore. CBD, olive oil, all keeps my joints in check. I want that for you to know the joy and freedom of less pain while playing the guitar. Thanks for listening in and commenting so nice. Very much appreciated so glad you enjoyed the unplugged campfire rendition. Hope your tremors get better keep on playing never give up.

Hey thanks so much @Bill_Brown for listening in and commenting. Very much appreciated so grateful you found the unplugged campfire rendition enjoyable. I did some improvisation to make it sound more like the original that had lots of instruments compared to my version. The Improv part is getting to be more natural like I can hear it in my head then I search for spots on the guitar neck to make it happen. I confess I like doing it. <div>
