    These are interesting replies. I noticed that another discussion was about renewing membership after a few years, and wondered if the two thoughts overlap.

    Would a follow-on / next step program for ‘alumni’ of TAC make sense? There would seem to be an unlimited number of genera and songs to explore more completely?

    Me Too. In the end, I bought the Hush X Pro, which is relatively inexpensive and as quiet as you can get. I can listen to the videos using it’s bluetooth connection (which is primarily for playing backing tracks). Most of my guitars are exotic lapsteels but I doo have an inexpensive epiphone if I’m on my own.

    So far, it is looking like the ‘practice’ guitar will become my main guitar since it has all the simulations and FX I’ll likely ever want without all the power and wire mess.

    Thanks for the advice. Here is a not-very-good image. It is just positioned this way, not a matter of flex n stretch. That said, I have managed to find a way that works at least for what I’ve tried so far. Basically, it won’t go straight but it is possible to push the tip up against my ring finger tip such that it has a smaller contact area.

    Other tha that, it has been fun to see that feeling of not keeping up slowly start to dimiish.
