That’s it. It will come along in time. When we are used to doing something in a certain way, it takes time to add to our habits. Both finger picking and using a pick have their challenges. Keep at it!

You may be an addict! LOL

Awesome story!

I am 72.5. I just finished 45 radiation treatments for prostate cancer. Nothing gets easier, but (and this is a big but……there’s a joke there somewhere), you will improve, get better. Yes, I started before you, 68. If you keep it up, you will be surprised, even if it is slow. Keep enjoying what you can do; chip away over time at the tough stuff. If you learn some basic chords (let’s just say G, D, Em, and C); work on them until they become smoother, and transitions gets easier; you will be able to play thousands of songs. Change the order of the chords, the tempo, the type of strumming; you can make a large variety of sounds. Work on what works for you. Keep doing the daily lessons, but don’t limit yourself. Do some skill courses if you haven’t. Pick a simple song and just enjoy strumming it slowly. Keep it fun, keep going, and you will surprise yourself. Consistency will pay off. Be patient with yourself.

I am so sorry to hear this. I’m glad you are finding other outlets. Keep safe and well; may you heal up quickly. Take very good care of yourself.

Nice! How did you memorize all those lyrics? We’re ready for Subterranean Homesick Blues (unless you already did it and I missed it).

Wow! That sounded so good; so restful; so well done. Great job Charlie!

That was most excellent! I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks Kevin!

@Bill_Brown It was your inspiration; thanks for listening. I look forward to more. I read your comments and glean what I can from them.
@albert_d Thanks for listening! Yes; he has that influence. 🙂
@Marty73
Thanks for listening. -
Nice job, especially singing also! I started recording a version singing along, but I sounded horrible (I don’t have good vocals anyway as you, Marisa, and others do), so skipped it on this one with just an instrumental. You have a nice mellow voice, your playing was smooth, and your timing with them is really in sync. Do you play places, do open mics? From the videos you have posted, you could. Well done!

That was so very good! You sound like you are coming from the late 50’s, early 60’s with that one. Nice one Kevin!
-
Great job! So clean and clear.

@langerking @PickinmyPocket @Loraine
Thank you all for taking the time to listen, and the kind words. I couldn’t have imagined even trying to play this when I started TAC; but over time, it has worked for me.

Wonderful job on a classic! Makes me want to drift back to those days.

Most excellent cover Kevin! Man you hit some high notes. Great job!
