Diane, That is my dream space!

I'm in, but like jasn said, the workouts are hard. I'm practicing them. Problem is not just quickly changing those complex chords, but my left hand is hurting (arthritis). This might be my last foray into jazz, though I enjoy it in small doses. The Christmas academies are good, too, with renditions of carols that are both traditional and jazzy.

Fantastic job singing and playing Melissa! And kudos to everyone who sang The Weight from memory, lotta lyrics. I loved seeing people playing the same chords in different places on the neck. Mostly Martins, judging from headstocks? Thanks for sharing, Diane.

Beautifully expressed, Diane.....I'll miss reading about your adventure there.

Diane, you sure DOMINATED the composition class material! Way to go

Those photos rival our trails in the NC mountains, gorgeous! Tell Steve a porch setting overlooking water would be a great choice for the next summer GG! Glancing at your other photos, I've always wondered why more women don't participate in acoustic guitar workshops both online and in person.....hmmm..... The book looks good, just ordered a copy. Harvest Moon? You go, girl! That's great you did the riff. That's one of my favorite Neil tunes. Stay in touch about how your week is going, and I hope you enjoy every minute.

@Eracer_Team-DougHI'm lucky to be the retired one, so once my husband puts down the guitar and heads to work, I pick it up and play. Would love to sleep in a bit more, but he plays good stuff.

I wake up to my husband playing guitar at 5:30 AM before work. Good thing he plays well!

Beautiful playing! Is that you singing as well?

It merges nicely with Steve's Tuesday night lessons last month. Some of the material he used for GG came straight from Lesson 3.

I'm in it now too, session 3 but still trying to play parts of session 2 at the recommended bpm. Excellent material but pretty dense. Those jazz barre chords.....I can do them only on my husband's Eastman electric, which has a thinner neck. Course seems to go from 0 to 100 pretty fast! But so worth the money, great stuff and some wonderful songs coming up in later sessions.

How wonderful that you were part of that, Diane! I missed last night. Our power went out forr 8 hours (happens fairly frequently here), so we enjoyed takeout and guitar sans digital assistance.

Feeling nostalgic and would love to watch it.

And I would say that her long thin fingers contribute to her success, but then I look (in amazement) at Steve's fingers!
