Thanks for this generous offer. GuitarPro is a very useful learning tool and I'm sure a lot of members here would take you up on this. I wish it was as easy as saying "Sure" but I'm not sure about the legal issues here. L&MG is obviously copyrighted and there are licensing considerations. Please don't upload any files yet. I'm going to refer this one to Steve. Thanks again.

Everybody, apparently my mailbox was full. Sorry! A member on here tried to leave a message and got the notice. Fortunately, he and I also text and he alerted me to this. So if you have tried to send me an obscene, nasty message the last couple days, you can now! This forum typically runs so smoothly, largely due to my co-conspirators @NeilES335 and @DianeB, that I don't know what you could have been trying to reach me about. But if you did try, sorry. I have done some housekeeping and there is room now.

And Doug I probably wouldn't have noticed except Kelly made a point of saying it was attached. Thanks.

Nice job, Dan! Really nice job. It's sounds great. You have to feel a lot of satisfaction in making this much progress. And please continue to share your progress with us. And I hear that metronome!!!😁

If you have already downloaded the video and didn't get the tabs, the pdf (tabs) is attached to this message.. If you haven't downloaded it yet, customer service at TrueFire said they were correcting (adding the pdf to) the download zip file to include it. Kelly Richey - Oh Little Town of Bethlehem.pdf

Notice in my op I said it comes with tabs. Kelly said in her video it comes with tabs but when I downloaded the lesson the zip file only the mp4 was there no pdf. I'm checking on that. You can download the lesson, as I said, with that link or, if you prefer, here is the lesson on YT.

Kelly Richey is an instructor at TrueFire and one Smokin Blues Rock Player! Check her out on YouTube! I had mentioned the 12 Days of December Sale going on. Today, you can get her lesson on O Little Town of Bethlehem free over there. Comes with downloadable video lesson, tabs, etc. Click on that link then scroll up and click on "Song Lessons". It's FREE!

You Canadians always sticking up for each other.........and soooooooo sensitive. 😂🙄 Thanks, Neil!

Aaaah, yeah, Mike. As I said over in Danny's thread about his new Tele, that is the one "food group" I don't have a representative from. That 60's music had a huge, major, life shifting affect on us, at least now in our guitar choices. Who woulda' thunk that music we were listening to then would effect us now in retirement?!?!😮

I just came across this. I think it has just about any Neal Young song ever recorded tabbed out.

@Ning, I do (vaguely) remember your name from over at our previous home. I'm glad you found us and are going to be a member again of, what Steve calls, "our guitar family". There are quite a few of us here that, like you and me, played guitar in our youth or teen years only to put it away until retirement. And, yes, many of also developed a case of Guitar Acquisition Syndrome in retirement!😮 I'm looking forward to your contributing to the conversations here and sharing your progress.

NOOOO! Neil! You're a jazz guy! You don't have any business with a Les Paul?!?!? I'm the blues guy. That Les Paul is mine!😁 But you're correct about the Free Lesson Downloads. Last hour I snagged this one. It looks pretty darn good. I haven't downloaded it yet and delved into it. I really need to play acoustic more. And what did I have to lose?

Steve has referred to them as "Our Friend over at TrueFire". And some of the TrueFire instructors on Steve's Tuesday night Live Lessons including Johnny Hiland and Corey Congilio. They have very educational and reasonably, in my estimation, priced lessons. Some great materials to supplement our studies here when you get to that point of adding materials. Right now their 12 Days of Christmas sale is on. They have lessons on sale, of course, but also give a ways, free lessons and a $5 download. I just bought what looks like a great lesson on rhythm or comping or whatever you want to call it: 50 Chord Tricks You Must Know by a guy by the name of Matthieu Brandt. I know absolutely nothing about this instructor. And, honestly, I will probably never get to this course given the piles of study materials I have. But it was $5! Go look. The sales materials changes hourly. So if there is something you are interested in, and it's not on sale, it could, and probably will, be on sale at some point. Here is the intro to that course I just bought:

Danny, this is somewhat a more general message about the Tele. So maybe I should have started a new thread in the gear forum. But since you're our new Tele owner, and this thread is about that, I added to here. Musicians Hall of Fame founder and CEO, Joe Chambers, interviewed Steve Cropper and he discussed "Why I use a Telecaster". This is the 5 minute cropped (no pun intended) version. There is also the full 30 minute version for those that have the interest and the time.

Neil, very off topic, I know. Hopefully the mods won't notice.😉 Since you're our resident 335 guy, did you ever see 5 Watt World's "Brief History of the 335"? Very interesting. I know "ES" stands for "Electric Spanish". But I had been told that the "335" was the suggested retail price when it came out but he contradicts that.

I think this should go in Guitar Playing🙄 This was posted in another forum. I can't take claim for discovering it. But it is really cool. And free. It has scale and triad generators or just put your own fingerings in. It will do Left or Right handed fretboards! You can save or download the resulting diagrams. Check it out. Guitar Scientist. " Guitar Scientist is a Free Online Editor || Create Scales and Chords diagrams, for Guitar, Bass and more. Download your Diagrams, Visualize Shapes. Perform Better! "

Dan, It certainly appears as though you have put some thought into your practice regimen and that you have the determination to be successful in your learning. You have announced several things that you are doing that I wish that I had done early in my learning. First though, you are correct in describing Session 4 as "challenging". It is. There is a lot of material here. If you haven't discovered it yet there is even more material in the bonus resources than the main part. I have heard many on here suggest to break it up and work it in parts. I think that is good advice. Just know it is going to take a while. You have clearly identified a game plan for your learning. I wish I had done that earlier on. I just sat down and practiced with no real game plan. And, you have purchased that little box we all love to hate, the metronome! 😉😂 That is going to help dramatically with your timing. And, probably most importantly, you are keeping it fun. You are bringing in songs like Nowhere Man to make it fun and give your hard work some purpose. Please come back here often and keep us up to date on your progress. And any time you are not clear about something or just frustrated, post. We have a real brain trust here of supportive guitarists. We are fortunate in that we even have several that have completed the course and come back and share.

Danny, congrats on the new Tele. Although I should not be looking at this thread. It's giving me GAS. I've got all the food groups: the Strat, the humbuckers, the semi-hollowbody 335'ish, the hollowbody, etc. Everything except the tele. You're making me think, unfortunately! 😉 I'll bet she does play like a dream. Enjoy it a long time!

Great story, Maria. Thank you for sharing it. Enjoy that gorgeous guitar a long time.

Again, welcome back Maria. And Happy Birthday!!!

Maria, It is absolutely great to have you here with us. You always contribute value to the conversations and I'm looking forward to that continuing. And......as somewhat official here😉 I will tell you there is no limit to the times you can restart. That is fortunate for many of us, myself included! Any of us that have been around here any length at all are familiar with the some of the setbacks you have had. But you have always dusted yourself off and went back at it. That says a lot about your character and determination Keep us appraised of you progress. It's taken a while but I'll be joining you soon in 17. We will compare notes! Ron

@Dan Brown was in the house!!!!!!!!!???!!! Long time, Dan! See you in a couple months.

Btw, I "screwed around" too long after my original post. I asked a couple guys familiar with the Quilter amps their thoughts on the little Quilter 100. By the time I went back to MF and put it in my cart it was sold out. But thanks (no thanks?😡🙄) to @Six String I just ordered this Quilter 45. In the end, this probably will serve my needs every bit as well. It's going to, I'm sure, make a great little practice amp with headphones.

Anyone needing a new amp? A 100 watt amp (head)?! A 100 watt amp so small it will almost fit on your pedalboard?! For $179! That's what the Musician's Friend Stupid Deal of the Day is offering. I don't know the first thing about Quilter amps. I've heard good things. But what have you got to lose? (other than $179). A back up amp? Or a practice amp? Or practice with headphones as to not wake the family? This is a head so you will need a cabinet if you don't use it with the headphones or send to a DAW or PA. It seems it has 5 amp models but I'm not sure on that either.
