Members of Steve's Guitar Gathering family were on the Keeping the Blues Alive at Sea Cruise. And met up! And what a great time it was! And it was especially nice meeting and hangin' out with other GG members. There were 4 members and spouses from here on the cruise but unfortunately we weren't able to connect with @BluesMan67. Next time! Pictured below are (L to R) Diane and @Dan Brown (in the cap) , Barb and Ron Petersen (yours truly, matonanjin), and Sheila and @Tom M (Tom Moore). That is Nassau, Bahamas in the background.

Mrs. Fretless is a piano teacher. I was invited to play at the teachers' concert and so teamed up with my wife and a colleague, another piano teacher, that loves jazz and has some drums. Here we are, then, in an impromptu jazz band just for the evening, although all three of us said we should do this more often.

Hi everyone, here is my fingerstyle version of Havana by Camila Cabello, for this month’s challenge. This was certainly a huge challenge for me, to be honest I bit off more than I could chew for this one. It was a challenge to learn and memorise the notes, work out the fingerings, put it all together in a semblance of a tune and finally getting down a reasonable recording, especially in such a short time-frame. I must admit that I was going to give up on it a few times, but I gave myself a good talking too, reminding myself that it doesn’t have to be perfect and just to continue to work on it and see how I go. So, I persevered and it started to come together a couple of days ago so this is the best of the bad bunch mistakes and all. Obviously, it needs way more practice, you will hear string misfires, muted notes, hesitations (especially on the tricky parts) and I tend to speed up or slow down in places, but overall, I’m pleased with it. Recording Info: Song Title: Havana by Camila Cabello Arrangement: Hal Leonard’s 100 most Popular Songs for Fingerpicking Guitar. Instrument: Yamaha NTX-500 crossover Nylon guitar with pickup and D’Addario EJ45FF ProArte Carbon Classical Strings, Normal Tension. Recording Gear: Behringer Guitar Link USB interface. Audio software: Audacity.

I've been out of touch for a while, and I was hard pressed to come up with a song about a place or location. But then I thought: wait a minute, "the roof" is a place, so how about this one? It's done in the style of James Taylor.

Love it. Can't believe I just stumbled upon this great thread. I'll try and post a pic of the group I'm playing with tomorrow at church. Here's a clip from the choir special a few weeks ago on a Sunday I was playing... - Steve

Thank you for letting us listen to your song, Watson, it is a lovely rendition.

And one more for some good clean fun.

It's an old post, but that's ok, I'm an old guy. And this is an old video from a few years ago but I ran this allman bros tribute band and we gigged a couple times a month for a few years. Fun stuff. I'm playing the SG. (Also, I solo at about 3:07 'cuz it's all about me! Just kidding. )
