Hey gents,
Been awhile thought I would update anyone who might check in. Still playing did a 5 song set yesterday, went pretty well no video but I used my Zoom H8 to record the whole set worked great. My guitar was a little weak though for my solos.
Hope everyone is doing well!
Rich

Hey Rich, good to hear from you! Glad you're having fun playing live! I'm working on "Wait" by White Lion. Got the intro and first verse more-or-less finished yesterday, it's double-tracked on the 12 string guitar. Hoping to have the whole song finished in a week or so. Been having fun with my little mandolin, that thing sounds really nice  Got a book of classical music for mandolin - I guess the traditional instrument for that would be a lute, and the mandolin sounds vaguely similar to a lute so it's kind of a natural lol. I guess mandolin is most prominent in bluegrass music, but there is a small community of people who play classical stuff on it. Anyhow, hope everybody's doing well! |

I also still come by, and doing fine. I play when I have time and enjoy it, so all is good. I heard from JohnG, who wrote that he hopes to update the webpages in the upcoming year. Maybe if he finds time for it, then the forum will be also become more lively again. I would love to take part in some blues "noodling" videos on the forum.

Good to hear from everyone! I have fallen out of the habit of routinely clicking in here every morning, but have still looked in every week or two. I've been playing guitar a little, but am limiting myself to 10-15 minutes daily after my bout with tendonitis in my wrist. Maybe I can build this up some over time, but that will need to be a slow process.

It's good to hear from you, Rich. I still check in from time to time. It's just that I haven't had anything of interest to add. Plus I haven't been playing much lately.
