That is fantastic ! Singing and playing can seem like a brick wall. Choosing to run through it can feel like a daunting endeavor – I know it was for me. Now you are on the other side of the wall – keep it going! Congratulations!

these are all great tips – it just takes a little time. As mentioned above I agree the main thing is to play everyday – even for just a few minutes. Pretty soon you will be asking …. “how do you manage the finger tips of stone” 😆

I actually have to use a fingernail file on mine because the callouses build to the point they catch on the strings sometime so they have to get some maintenance!

Keep it going !

this is so great ! Your first sound track !

[TMutter]

btw – great production and editing with multiple cameras – well done!

[TMutter]

Congratulations – that is a beauty!

My first 2 guitars were Larrivees, first a 1997 parlor and then a 2005 L-05E. They both continue to sound amazing

[TMutter]

great performance

[TMutter]

Thanks – I thought might be the case – Thanks for verifying.

Rando – congratulations! I love the Larrivee brand. My first guitar was a Parlor and I also have an L-05E. They are great guitars – well done!

I get the “😬” regarding putting a video out there. What if you record a video and just strum 1 or 2 chords?

1) no pressure for a song or exercise

2) you get over that first “red light 😬”

3) and ….. we get to hear your beautiful new guitar!

Enjoy !

😄

its all fun and games …. until the brick wall emerges ! 😆

[TMutter]

thanks for listening !

I am so glad I have a guitar and this community to have some way to express myself – not sure where else it would go!😆

[TMutter]

Thanks for listening! It helps that the first 30 years of my music life I was a percussionist before ever picking up a guitar. I have to remind myself occasionally my guitar is not a drum – well it kind of is, but I try to be a little more gentle with it !😆

[TMutter]

funny – as much as I am always concerned about the tempo …. I always speed up as the song progresses ! 😝

[TMutter]

Thanks Loraine, that was actually one of the few times I made it through that song start to finish – it was close a couple of times of falling apart 😅

[TMutter]

Thank you for listening!

Thanks Albert – I am now trying to figure out how to sign up for FBW. Not sure if I have to wait for the new release or I can get started. When I click on the icon it says it is not available. Any suggestions?
