    That’s great! Keep posting. This is a great place to work on things, try them out, without fear. I have found; as lame as I feel doing videos; the more I practice to put something out, the better I get. Thanks for posting!

    P.S. I started TAC when I was almost 68, turning 71 in 2 weeks. It is not too late. It works.

    Welcome! Great advice from those above. After 30 days to play, look over the skill courses, especially the getting started courses, and see what appeals to and fits you. Jump into the daily challenges when you want to. Even if they seem over your head, as they did with me at first, just working through them, a little time each day on that days lesson, then moving on; you will be amazed how your skills start to build on top of each other. Jump in, have fun, enjoy!

    @Marty72 Thanks much! Yes sir; great group!

    @Bill_Brown
    Thanks for listening, and the encouraging words. Actually I didn’t use any reverb. I was wanting to simulate a Leslie/rotary amp type effect, and read where using a chorus pushed up high with a delay can work. I used two pedals. I started out in the opening using a delay (my favorite over a reverb actually), at a modest setting, with the chorus pushed up pretty high. It gave the shimmer I wanted. Then after the opening I clicked off the chorus and just used the delay. It varied in intensity according to how hard I was playing. It was fun to experiment with the sounds. I had to do something since it was just me and an acoustic trying to play such an iconic song. LOL

    Well done! Thanks! I have a friend here in Arizona who is part Ottawa, and works on different reservation areas here at times. She often has talked about the many missing indigenous women both there and here in AZ.

    Sweet! It’s been a long time since I have heard that. Well done!
    Thanks for listening to Sixteen Tons and your kind words. That is a couple years old, and someone revived it.
    I noticed the poster in the background. James Dean sitting at the soda fountain. I believe that is Elvis and Marilyn behind the counter (but not sure).
    Thanks for posting!

    That’s great! I’m not comfortable with that label either; but there comes a time to claim it anyway.
