Thanks for the positive vibes everyone! Just FYI for others who want to practice this I found a good backing track with the real vocals here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-6gVprjP_I. (count 4 measures from when the first bass note hits and that’s when you start in with the riff to time it out right and start the chords with the singing). Have fun ya’all! 🙂

Thanks. It’s a Taylor 714 CE LTD 2019 Sinker Redwood and Indian Rosewood that I picked up used from my local Guitar Center about a year ago. I really love it. It’s heavy as he** but it’s got such a warm and rich voice and the neck just fits my hand perfectly and feels so comfortable to play. My daughter named it ‘River Starsparkle’. I upgraded the tuners from the standard nickel Taylor tuners to Gotoh 510 in the ‘cosmo black’ (which not only look awesome but are also much nicer machines). I think the Gotoh 510s is what they put on the 914 version of this. They were ~$90 from Stewmac and Sam Ash charged me $30 to install them. SO worth it.

They used to have it on Taylor’s site but I can’t find it so here’s a link to a Sweetwater page.

I appreciate that Leslie – rock on! 🤘

I feel like it might take me closer to 6 years to be able to play it cleanly the whole way through – but it’s a journey and I’m happy to be on it. 🙂

Thanks Albert! 🤘

Haha – love it, ‘muted musical space’. Similar to an ‘unplanned rapid disassembly’.

Thank you!🤘

Thanks so much Beth! I’m pretty sure these are Elixir Nanoweb lights (12-53) but I recently got a bunch of sets of D’Addario XS 12-56 (custom/special lights?) so I’m going to try those at the next string change (scheduled for Jan). 🙂
