Really nicely done! Enjoyed the creativity and the finger picking. Sweet looking and sounding guitar also. Thanks!

Great job! I really enjoyed that. One of my favorites also.

Really nice playing over the backing track! Very cool and smooth sounding. I must also add, I am jealous of your hair. Mine left the playing field long ago. 😉

I hadn’t seen where Fretboard Wizard was being offered again. Did i miss something? I have been wanting to take the course. The last time I saw it offered, a long time ago, I couldn’t do it then. Any information is welcome.
The best to you in the course @campfire

@Loraine Thank you! It was fast for me. Amazing to me how Tony played it.
@Bill_Brown Thanks Bill! A lot of repetition and practice to get to this place even.
@Marisa Thanks! I agree. Time for a break. I found my hand and fingers getting fatigued and stiff as the song went along. I can’t do anything about the arthritis, but I hope to just built up endurance to make it the best I can.

Thanks to all of you for taking the time to listen!

@Dirk_R The Songbook used to be a part of TAC. It isn’t anymore. You had to pay separately for it. It included step by step instructions on a lot of songs (from beginner to hard), for both flat and finger picking. Those who had bought it before still have access to it. I am not sure if it is possible to get now, but you could ask.

@Butterfly Thanks! Just a lot of practice, accepting our own limits, not letting imperfection keep me from doing it day by day, and putting in the time. I spent a little time on it every day for longer than I care to admit
Starting out at a “mature” age, and having the limits of that; I had to learn to enjoy the process and see the improvement come in increments (and not compare). The best to you in your journey.

@stevieblues Thanks for listening, and the kind words. Yeah, I have that old age thing going on. Have to accept it and do the best with it. 😀
I will keep on pickin’; you also!
