Thanks Socio… Yes it was Brian that said that. I took that to heart yesterday. I just wanted to sing it without all the hoopla.

Thank you Dennise. Yeah it was like I was stuck in molasses.
Thanks Adrian… I will revisit my F Barre Chord song and post it here.
Thanks Jamolay… you are probably right
Thanks Everyone for the warm welcome.
I see our photos are up in the spotlight. Nice. Bunch of good looking people up there.
Though overworked at my job and winter was long, I still kept practicing a minimum of 20 minutes per day most of the time: F Barre Chord. Percussive Hits for “Have you ever seen the rain”, not there yet. And Fingerpicking which I believe will be my ultimate destination. I much prefer it to strumming. But I am adamant that I need to finish Justin’s courses before I branch out to fingerstyle solely.
I missed your last Open Mic, but I will find time during my week off to watch it.
Thanks to all the supportive comments.
I will try my best to give back to the community by watching other’s performances.
Have a nice day, everyone.

Hi Sandy welcome back. I actually stumbled across your Cortez the Killer on YouTube the other day. I listened to it again and thought that’s really good. I wondered where you’d got to.
If singing is the thing you enjoy best then do what you did there with WYWH. Keep the guitar simple. Beating yourself up with intro solos that you don’t enjoy is a waste of time. Concentrate on the stuff you enjoy. If you think fingerstyle is the direction you want to take then jump into it. You can still follow Justin’s main course at the same time.
Hang on in there. Have you noticed there are a couple more female guitarists who have been posting recently? Maybe some more female company will spur you on.

Thank you so much sorefingers (sairfingers). I much needed that. And you are so right. That’s why I published it. I said the heck with it… my goal isn’t to become Jimi Hendrix LOL. Just really happy that this community accepts it as is, no frills.

Not a typo. My base language is French. How should I have said it?
Apologies Sandy.
That is bad of me to find humour in your 2nd language error.
Slump.
As opposed to slum.

You made me laugh… no worries. Slump is the word. I should’ve known that. Thanks
Yeah but I get another new word to add to my Vocabulaire Francaise. Got to have my one a day.
Slum is not a French word, Toby. I just translated wrongly.
Slum: Quartier pauvre… Poor neighborhood
Slump: Stagnation and Stagnation same thing in English. In a slump
You were only one letter out but one of the most important letters otherwise Richard wouldn’t have noticed. After reading the below article from the boffins at Cambridge University it dawned on me that spelling is irrelevant, just need to get the first and last letters right.
