Thanks everyone for your feedback and suggestions. I recently had a K&K Pure Mini installed in my Taylor DN3. Although I don’t yet own an amp, I thought it might come in handy someday. I had it installed if/when I work up the courage to play at an open mic. 😊🤞

[OhWowMan]

Thank you all very much. I appreciate the feedback and suggestions.

How do you like the Anthem? I’m considering adding a pickup to my Taylor DN3 dreadnought. Does the Anthem affect the sound when your instrument is played unplugged?

[OhWowMan]

@JeffM.22 Right now I’d like to start out small and inexpensive, just for something to practice with at home. Eventually, I’d like to do an open mic, probably a solo. However, in the future maybe even get together with other players for some jammin’ 🙂

Yes, sir, @mcarlson_sb Thank you for your support 🙂

[OhWowMan]

Thank you @Bill_Brown … I get a li’l discouraged at times, along my guitar journey. So, I decided I better give myself a pat on the back for consistency and showing up and tryin’! 🙂

Thanks @N-lightMike I appreciate your late night feedback. I admire your determination and sense of resolve. Have fun, and I wish you the best with your songwriting.

@Cadgirl @HowardM At this stage in my guitar journey, Tony’s fingerpicking challenges are way too much for me to handle. I enjoy watching Tony’s instructional videos, but when it comes to fingerpicking, 10-minutes of frustration and not having fun is a real time-robber. It’s just not my jam. I firmly believe I should be spending my valuable time on something I’m truly interested in.

@jumpinjeff Thank you for your good intentions and well wishes. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and suggestions. As to progress coming easily, I regret I missed that boat about 40-some years ago. That’s when I quit playing guitar, unfortunately. I’m sure I would have made significant gains in a short amount of time back then. Now I’m in my mid-sixties, and I’m dealing with arthritis, muscle deformities, and a host of other infirmities related to aging. Restarting and relearning guitar isn’t coming so easily, but it is coming! 🙂

@jumpinjeff Find the root of these things — frustrated and not diggin’ it? I would rather not go down that path. Fingerpicking is a struggle for me, often confusing, and not fun… So, I’d rather skip it for now. I’m not giving up on it, I’m just saving it for later. I’m more drawn to flatpicking. I’d rather spend time learning flatpicking and playing music that interests me, stimulates me, motivates me, and resonates with me. In the recent Acoustic Tuesday Show (episode 249), Tony said “find the things that you enjoy playing and follow those things.” That’s what I’m going to do.
