My Guitar Goal

What I'm Focused On Now

My goal this quarter is to complete Fretboard Wizard for the first time as well as continue to work on learning in Black Water by the Doobie Brothers.

My Guitar Routine

This is How I TAC

In a perfect week, I play all 5 days. Weekdays I do the daily challenge in the late morning with coffee most days as I am recently retired, on my back porch also known as Shipwreck Cove. Weekends I work on learning new songs and join in on a VOM when schedule permits.

Why I'm Here

I joined TAC in December of 2020 to make the new year a year of progress. I have played since my senior year of high school & now at age 62, I’m trying to regain some of what I have lost & hone some new skills & improve my old ones. I’m fairly good at fingerpicking, but want to learn better control with a flatpick & also learn a little improvisation. I have a good collection of guitars I have acquired over the years (my Guitarsenal was on episode 173 of Acoustic Tuesday if you’re curious). I’m a Printing Production Planner by occupation, although I will be retiring in June & want to devote more time to my music. I also am a renaissance fair goer usually dressed as a pirate, more specifically as a character inspired by Keith Richards in Pirates of the Caribbean. He played Jack Sparrow’s father & the keeper of the pirate code in several movies. I figured If I would dress as a pirate, I would take a famous guitar player as my inspiration.
