I wanted to learn a song with a 16th-note strumming pattern so I started to learn Sing by Travies , but theres a banjo part in the middle
so I changed and will work on Wide open spaces by the Chicks
same strumming pattern on the app with no bothersome part in the middle 
the strumming pattern on the app is a bit easier then the one on the website

@ConstanceClaire
I can do the F barre chord I just have to get the neck a little higher
but its true that it is easier on an electric
I didnt change the strings when I purchased it so it is : Fender Dura-Tone 880L Coated 80/20 (.012-.052 Gauges)

I will probably have to cancel my OM participation because of the weather
I just can t play in such a heat wave
I will wait until the last moment because it may change ( I hope )
Im very disappointed because the weather was so nice for the past 2 weeks
it had to happen just the moment of the OM 
What time of day is the open mic for you?
Also, my condolences for the cat puke. Hope it was just a hairball.

I remember once my cat jumped on my bed and woke me up so he could puke on my chest.
I still loved him, though.

I was talking with Matthew in DM and he mentioned Marty Music
I never heard about it so I went to the website and watch a video
now Im learning a Blues turn around from the video …
Dont know if I should thank Matthew or not
another item to add to my practice schedule
Marty music :
Blues turn around
there was a consequence to my mistake when the bridge got lose on my guitar
now it sounds horrible !
I contacted the luthier and I will bring him my guitar in a few weeks ( He’s on holidays for 2 weeks )
there are several things to do to set it up correctly so I hope it wont cost too much
Im checking the weather forecast for saturday but its getting worse and worse
