Why I'm Here

I want to play guitar, and play it better and better. better. I need all the help I can get. I’d like to get a great sounding cedar top acoustic or other good sounding one, with a cut away.

My Guitar Goal

What I'm Focused On Now

A routine is key. Learn 3 new songs to learn, and the 5 different moveable scale patterns that cover the fretboard and practise intervals and arpeggios. Learn where all the notes are on the fretboard and try to do some improvising. Keep playing all the songs I’ve been practising since the beginning so I won’t forget them. I found my ergonomic guitar, a red Strandberg Bodin OS.

My Guitar Routine

This is How I TAC

I play everyday late afternoon before supper in the living room. I usually have the dinner ready on the stove so that’s done and I can concentrate on playing,  I take Tony’s daily lesson, practise it, play my scales, intervals and arpeggios, and try to play each of the 10 songs I’m working on twice, trying to sing the words and going over the hard bits.  I’ve been delinquent about improvising with a backing track. That partvis so hard for me.
