Atta Boy TJ. Neat to know you have a connection to the land from which that song came.

Very nice. I just played that one from memory (sans capo, so 2 whole steps lower) a little while ago. I always love those flatpicking tunes and I probably play this one once or twice a month, so it stays fresh in my mind. Very nice tempo, and great technique.

Well done, Beth. Two great tunes. I just played through both of them about an hour ago.

Welcome Cherie. Sounds like you’re off to a great start – one month down and many more to go!

Well done Michelle. Hard to believe you’re 12 weeks into this already. That is tremendous ambition.

“I really really want to … sing with confidence while I play (no need for a perfect voice, right) …”

No, there’s no need for a peferct voice, but in my case, I depend on a strong (but far from perfect l) voice to cover up some of my weakness playing the guitar! Congrats on the first of many happy years with TAC.

Actually I don’t think there’s any way to “get there from here,” i.e. no links within this site other than those members have shared in these posts to answer a frequently recurring question. So it would have been difficult for anyone to find the link themselves. You might want to bookmark that page to which @Michael-K73 provided the link.

Great to see you’re still here, Melanie.

I just had a really deep sense of deja vu, having no way to find PMs. Then it occurred to me I was on my iPhone. I switched to my iPad and found I again had the ability to navigate to PMs. So it seems like iPhone is pretty much an un-supported device. Maybe I’m in the minority, but I rarely use a laptop for connecting to TAC. I am assuming that TAC is optimized for a laptop environment.

If you’re truly interested in learning about modes, I strongly encourage you to grab this resource and find a way to print or copy it before it is lost forever. There is some excellent discussion here in the prior incarnation of the forum. https://tac.tonypolecastro.com/topic/28718-can-someone-explain-what-modes-are-should-i-be-using-them/#comment-302092 It is some of the best free education you’ll find.

You might also find some useful stuff here: https://tac.tonypolecastro.com/topic/20784-why-are-modes-important/?tab=comments#comment-220108

Or here: https://tac.tonypolecastro.com/topic/28710-how-to-reference-modes/#comment-301788

All I want to say at the moment is that modal music makes the world a better place for me.
