Hey @Mrfredsporty , I haven’t had problems with my sinuses most of my adult life as I lived out west since 21. But 4 years ago, I moved back to the east coast and here in N. Carolina, it seems everyone has sinus problems year round. So I have had the exact same experience and come to the same solution of gargling when necessary.
For me, since I never had severe sinus problems, if I do sing every day that seems to keep the sinus affected voice at bay. But I still use the gargle when necessary. 😎

Yeah, @Mrfredsporty , you are welcome for all that I have contributed to your social circle. But I also want to say a big thank you for all that you have contributed to my social circle. I’m not as old as you are, but I’m old enough to feel the effects of a shrinking social life and the challenge of staying active. I am holding my own, just barely. And TAC helps a ton.

Hello @kurtv ;
“Arpeggios” is one of those misleading terms. All it means is the notes are separated in stead of strummed. If you pick the strings individually, that would be an “arpeggio”, yet it is nothing, obviously.
So, you want to practice, well Tony gives us “arpeggios” every Monday in our warm up.
Now, more often than not, when someone says an “arpeggio” (as opposed to an arpeggiated chord, or scale, or melody, something specific), they are talking about a chord being played one note at a time, that is, “arpeggiated”.
Does Tony have a specific video teaching us to play the different chords arpeggiated? No. In fact, I’ve never run across one. You can fret “cowboy” chords, or open chords, and pick the strings individually and you will have an “arpeggio”.
So, from that point of view does Tony have a specific video teaching the different chord shapes? Yes, every Friday. Just pick the strings instead of strumming them and you have “arpeggios”.
I hope this helps.

HaHaHa @Cadgirl , I had the “longest streak” of 87 for the longest time (I’ve been here a little over 3 years, so most of that time as the streak happened at the beginning), and I have finally broken my record. I’m at 109 today. 😁
You can do it. I had to change my focus from doing the lesson or playing guitar to simply logging in. That’s my daily goal now: just log in. Whatever I do after that is bonus.
I have played guitar everyday, 7 days a week, very close to 365 days a year, from the beginning, it’s just that I would get side tracked on the weekend and not log in. So as I said, now my focus is “sign in”. That’s my big goal. 😂

OMG. @Mrfredsporty , a disciplined, scheduled person. I am impressed. Most people, including me, wish we were so disciplined that we didn’t procrastinate very much. Good for you. A well ordered life. That’s my father, but it never stuck with me. 🙄

The only difference here is that I usually don’t care that I will never be able to afford the guitar. But this one is different. If there was any way in the world I could pull this off, I’d be working on buying that guitar. That’s not just the super coolest resonator I’ve ever seen, that’s pretty close to the super, super coolest guitar of any type I’ve ever seen. I mean, wowzer, zounds, and any other stupid sounding words that express amazement that exist! 😏

What I’m afraid of is I WILL know the difference. So, just avoid the whole thing. Like I said: stubbornness. 😁

Wow, lucky you, @GerryB56 , that you get to compare your budget to the price of a horse. You should jump on this Pogreba as it’s under $5000 for an instrument that is totally unique and has amazing tone and amazing playability. This is the first really expensive guitar I would buy if I could. And it’s not really a very expensive guitar like $15,000 and up. But with the number of quality guitars at lower price points, I just don’t see why I would spend thousands of dollars even if I had it. But the Pogreba is so unique, beautiful, and functional that the reason to buy it is just obvious. It’s one of a kind. Even his other resonators don’t sound like or look like each other. And a completely hand built guitar for under $5000? That’s just unheard of.
I don’t know if I want to thank you for posting this or not @jumpinjeff . It’s been a long time since I had bad GAS, and never for a guitar this expensive. The most expensive guitar I’ve ever craved is around $3000. Over that and I just think it gets ridiculous. All I can say is WOW! Well, that and I’ve never in my whole life been in a position to spend that kind of money on a guitar. So, I’m safe.
