I agree with the others Brandon. You will progress, as long as you keep moving forward. Don’t worry about perfecting any skill during the lessons. They roll around again every 8-9 months typically, bit you will see others recur more often if an essential skill. Each time you’ll get better at it.
The guitar is not an easy instrument to play, but if you do the minimum each day, you will improve. Sometimes slowly, and sometimes quickly. The trick is consistency/ routine. Give it your best and move on.

Thanks for listening @albert_d . And I think Paul Simon had a lot of insight into a great many things.

Sorry I didn’t see your message earlier. If you were playing, an email with the list and order of players was sent to your email, and it included the link to the zoom. I’m not sure how it was communicated to the masses withing TAC.

I think you’ll be fine without them.

Congratulations on your 3rd TACiversary!
I think I remember this Darryn. I too was amazed with your playing</font><font face=”inherit”> ability early on, and your artistry. I think your background with the keyboards may contribute to your advancement so quickly, as well as a lifetime of working with musicians. But I personally think the biggest influence is simply that you have an innate creativity. </font>

That’s nice to hear about Hallelujah. I’ve since gotten better at the syncopation of the song. It’s really fun to play. I don’t participate at JMG anymore, so I’ll have to take your word.

Would love to see and touch base with you Darryn. It’s been a while. Hope you are doing well.

Carol, where the heck have you been?!! We’re allowed to have one item signed by Chris Martin. It’s probably a good idea to take my Martin. They have a guitar valet of sorts that will take and check in the guitar and hold it until signing. I just wish it was a higher quality Martin than it is. It’s nothing to sneeze at. It was still a thousand dollar guitar, but everyone else I know that has one has such a nice model. .I have to admit, though, it’s a great sounding and easy playing guitar.
Anyway, hope to see you soon 🙂

I think it was okay, not great. I tensed up and got nervous. But, I had fun. I really miss the open mics. I’ve gone to a local jam through meetup.com. Man, was I out of my element. They were well above my playing ability, but they were very gracious. Most of them had musical backgrounds, and I knew one person who is a local artist a few towns over. I had met her a few months before hand. She’s actually opening for Muriel Anderson Sunday at the local concert I’m going to. I have another jam coming up at a friends, and there is another TAC member that wants to get together and play sometime, so I’m still in the scene per se.

Thanks Ian. It’s a little bittersweet giving up a front row seat seeing John Hiatt, but it was all the way in Atlantic City, which is a few hours from me. It’ll still be an hour drive to Nazareth PA, but I’ll get home at a more reasonable hour and don’t risk being too tired to drive. Can’t complain too much. I have other concerts lined up. In fact, this weekend I’m going to local concert with Muriel Anderson Sunday afternoon at a local Guitar and Arts Center. I’ve tried to learn finger style from her on True Fire, but it’s a lost cause. My hands and fingers shake and jerk, and I’m too tense. Then I’m seeing Neil Young & Crazy Horse Sunday evening. Lots more in the queue.

Sorry I missed you playing a Thursday @redrivermonkey . I have a difficult time attending most things during the day, because of work. Congratulations on overcoming the hurdle and playing your first open mic. That’s the hardest, but it gets easier the more you play.

Thanks Phil. I’m really excited about it.
-
Thanks Marty! It’s a great song, and I actually think I sounded something like the song – haha.

@Philb Thanks so much. It’s a really fun tune to play, once you get the syncopation down with the swing style. I’m sure this version is very similar to the NItty Gritty Dirt Band too.
