    That’s a great win @Duane58 ! It’s always nice when we feel we catch on fairly quickly, and this was a fine one – great warmup for the picking hand.

    Definitely a nice win in my book @johnny67 ! Let us know how it goes. I take it you’ve played trumpet before?

    Great oerdoemance @Guitargeezer-Jack ! Thought you played and sang extremely well. I’d like to see your fretting and strumming hands in the video. That’s always a great help to me and others. Keep on plunking Jack!

    Really great tip @TMutter ! Glad you’ve found a solution, and I’m sure it is part of your successful song writing and performances. Keep at it Terry – can only get easier the more you become familiar with it and use it as a tool.

    Really nice performance Dzuy! I’d say you love Lowden and Ed Sheeran songs about the same. 😉

    @mkjohnsons Mark, it sounds to me as if your practice routine is working for you. As for just picking up a guitar and playing, I find that the more I play a song, the less I need tabs or chord sheets. I just remember it from repetition, and alive often picked up a guitar and played a song I haven’t played in months, and I still remember it if I previously memorized it. So, bottom line, practice until you memorize it.

    I see improvement @Stickmaker . It may seem like a slow pace, but steady wins in the end. Keep up the great work and any improvement is a huge accomplishment and win in my book!

    @DavidinTTown Your forum name is what shows up next to your photo in the forums. As long as it matches your nickname, you should be good to go (you’re good – I was able to tag you @)

    Without the actual names of the lessons, I can’t be sure what to provide. I save several at a time, so I can’t go by date stamp either. Let me think on it. I’ll let you know if I can figure it out.

    Mark, I have to agree with every suggestion given. Break things down into small pieces. Start with the first bar and just place that into memory, and then add the next and play the 2 together and so on. Just focus on the individual verse and then the chorus, and so on. I’ll often envision the Tab in my head as I’m playing. Don’t worry about vocals until you’ve gotten the music memorized. It’s just a process and takes time. I think you’re doing great, and I always enjoy hearing you play and sing.

    Totally agree that if you reply by hitting within someone’s post, it generates a notification, but not if you hit the big reply button.
