@Marty72 Dang, that sound did pop! Sounds great. Had to smile because usually your posts are in a darkened room. I enjoyed the daylight. You popped just as much as the guitar

Hi @Flip I’m not 100% sure, but I think you post it on Tony’s Instagram page https://www.instagram.com/tac.guitar/ . Try clicking on the Create button on the left side (plus sign in a box) and upload your photo and submit it as a post.

I agree @the-old-coach that the forums are just not as friendly or the same, and I truly miss the banter too. Many of the old timers have moved on, which I agree is unfortunate. I lot of knowledge was taken with them. I know TAC tightened down on the forums and posts and their focus went back to basics, meaning the beginner, but learning can be so much more fun with the interactions in the forums and teaching from other people. The new format is not conducive to they type of banter we used to have. Also, new people aren’t urged to introduce themselves and be welcomed by a trove of people to make them feel a part of and welcome.
It would be nice if there was a better balance between the new lessons, which I love, and the ability to have a more free flowing and user friendly forum section that doesn’t limit us into 6 groupings or so. There were so many other interesting forums that talked about equipment, new guitars (we all like to showcase our guitars, especially when new).
The members need to step up, however, and respond to posts by others to make them feel a part of the community and that their posts are important. Make others feel valued in their journey by commenting on videos of others playing. That takes courage to do so, and it is a way to grow in your journey. I’ve become somewhat discouraged and don’t post nearly as often as I used to. I would comment on just about every post, because I would hope to have some traffic on my own posts. There are only a few people that seem to hold it together, but anyone can have an impact on someone elses journey.
If you have a day more than someone playing, then you have experience and can assist another person. That used to be the backbone of TAC was everyone helping each other out.
And yes, the site is still much slower than the last site, but it’s better than it initially was. I would hope that TAC would continue to find solutions to speed the site up in order to load pages more quickly.

@IrvineOD It is true that many lessons will rotate back around every 8-9 months. Tony has been adding a lot of new lessons this past year, and that’s nice. Don’t forget there are people that will have joined TAC after you and just be going through the lessons for the first time when they role around.
I agree with other comments regarding it being an opportunity to see improvement from the prior run of the lessons. I’m always surprised at how much easier and faster that I pick up the comcept of the lesson and ability to play it.
Most TACers supplement their learning with other sites.

Really enjoyed this @That_Guy . I wasn’t familiar with the song.

Congratulations @rbpipesman ! Crosspicking gets easier over time. I think it is easier than strumming sometimes. Great job!

😎😁🤞

Really appreciate that @Booker !

Thanks @albert_d . I’m a lifetime member, so my hope is to stay active and continue to learn and contribute to the forums.

Thank you @JanetW . It has taken a lot of work to transition faster and accurately, but I’m getting better all the time.
As for braving out posting, I say just go for it. I decided long ago that I was going to post videos regardless of my skill level. I’ve had to swallow my pride and just post. Many of my videos have been pretty bad, but I’ve grown each time by doing so.
Again, thank you for your nice critique and kind words.
