David, very good cover of CSN and the harmonies really did work incredibly well.
It would be interesting to have the video contain a PIP to show your working the Helicon while you’re playing. (way above my abilities btw)
good job 👍

Before TAC I had a song list of about 450 songs that I had literally typed up the lyrics and chords in MS Word as a way to try and keep the song more embedded in my old brain. (it helped some)
After joining TAC and going through the daily exercises and especially Fretboard Wizard, I began to focus more on the construction of the songs. I have added almost 200 more songs to my list but they are becoming more complete as far as increasing my “skill”. (such as it is)
One other thing that has helped me over the years is playing with other musicians, both guitarists and others. (keyboards, drums, banjo, accordion, etc) I have had a couple of music groups that I formed and have played with a few other groups and learned quite a bit from watching others and “picking their brains” on techniques and styles.
Open-mics have helped me and certainly the VOMs that were started here on TAC and eventually went to its own forum have greatly helped.
Essentially we all need to decide what we think “progress” really is.
My 2 & 1/2 cents. Omar

Dan, amazing job, lots of speed, accurate notes, exacting rhythm.
Now I have to start looking for a 12 string.
(but I still won’t be able to match that speed, yikes 😵)

I always enjoy the songs you choose to play. Very soothing. You’ll have to let us know where you learned this from or what tabs you used, etc.
kudos fellow guitar geek,
Omar

Mike, signed up for Just Music Geeks yesterday. Very much has the same feel as the prior TAC website as far as community interaction. I would also recommend it.
