Excellent! Joni’s version is one I have enjoyed many times. Nicely played and sang Marisa!

So much good advice here. I am heading toward 70; have arthritis in the hands; only started TAC 21 months ago; and only started playing at all a few months before that. So, how far could I get at my age? I am farther than I thought; playing things now I never thought I could. I learned not to compare to others, and just do what I could do. The consistency of a little time each day builds up. Combining the daily challenge, some skill courses; eventually looking at some songs from other sources as I had time; and just messing around; I have come to where I am. LOL Sounds kind of obvious (maybe even a little loony); but where I am is a lot different from where I started, even with my limits. As some of us old folk may say; “keep on truckin'”. You will surprise yourself! Enjoy the ride!

@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.
