  1. Good response Dianne.

    are you planning on signing at the same time?

    I’d also add unless you’re in a band type jam where an electric would fit in better with drums, bass, keyboards; you’d be best to stick to acoustic.

    Every guitar “guy/gal/she/he/they” play at a open place 98% play acoustic as it fills the void better, 

    (like I’m the one to talk, where I primarily only use my acoustic playing in church as we have strict rules of not standing out but supporting) 

    I typically gravitate to my electric’s as I try to add a simple solo into a “strum n sing “ song. 
     

    as Dianne said people generally know the “hook” riff. 
    check out the Live Lessons link on the above menu of this website.
    look for Steve’s lessons on Brown Eyed Girl.

    it’s got a great “hook” intro of 3rds diad that everyone goes yeah I know that song. You just need that intro rest came be strum n sing open chords. 
     

    another really easy intro is on Clapton Wonderful Tonight, 

    it’s a little riff at the 12th fret (don’t need to add the bends) if you can reach the 12th … your acoustic have a cut away? Then the rest of the song can be done in G, D, C open chords 

    you won’t need to do the 3rds walk up if you have the little intro lick that you can use at the end of the song too

  2. work from home 100%, I'm jealous.. I'm still hardware IT,, never locked down.. never at home

    I still haven't found a good jam group.. only a couple of bars that have bands and people can drop in but without rehearsals it's a nightmare trying to be the lead, and they are on their own tangent.

    hope you can jam as that's part of the sharing of music.

  3. Wow, my first thought was , security??

    single roll up door in what looks to be desolated area and millions of dollars in equipment and inventory, 

    yikes, 

     

    interesting going with the “McPherson “ off set sound hole

    looks like they’ll be “higher end” guitars 

    beyond my playing skill and my wife’s budget, 

    I’ll certainly check out Gruhn’s website in a couple of weeks and dream a bit

     

  4. Fingerstyle is very hard on the fretting hand I find as one has to hold the chords for a longer time than strumming

    i never learned Cannon in D anything more than just enough to make it recognizable.

    it’s not as hard as I thought,

    you’ll probably enjoy “Taco Bell” 😂😂

  5. I’m definitely not the best guitarist on this forum. 
    many of my strum n sing songs may use “simple “ open chords most of the time, my solos are very simple, and my hearing makes vocals a struggle 

    I listened to Bill Withers and Buddy Guy’s version on this song

    Buddy does a killer duet and lead guitar 

    I present my version

  6. @aldo.ant udemy version is not an “authorized version from what I understand,

    2nd Steve did the DVDs over when Gibson sponsored Legacy Learning course,

    same scripts. Slightly different looking Steve (less hair more than current Steve) 

    use of Gibson guitars vs what ever Steve had in his closet in 2006. 
    short in HD vs standard video

    a few mistakes in the manual fixed

    Love me Tender name change to Aura Lee

     You’ll gain nothing from the Gibson Legacy version over the original Legacy version

  7. @Johnny whitley sorry to 'hear' that Johnny. I have otosclerosis where the inner bones harden and kill the inner ear from hearing since I was a child..

    I've had stapedectomies and came close to -30db at bottom end of 'normal' hearing but it's been fading over the years and I'm somewhere near -65db without aids.

    sounds like you might need to use headphones (obviously for only the left ear.) to help the guitar playing so you can leave the guitar in normal position.

    as for word articulation. you probably rely on lip reading a lot, I do

    when it comes to modern music.. I can't tell you what they're singing.. (and I won't even talk about rap)

    my family often goes "oh who's singing on the music system in the store/restaurant", I'm like 'I can barely make out there's music let alone know who's singing other than maybe yet another female pop singer; if I can hear them at all.

    unfortunately there is currently no cure for deafness.

    but sometime after I'm long gone.. all those "booming" cars at 50,000 watts enough Gen X'ers will be deaf and hearing aids will become amazing.
