Such a fun read and great videos. Well done Diane! 👍👍

He does kinda look like me, doesn't he...? 😊

Great addition to your collection Gary. I too look forward to hearing it in October. So...tell me some more about that bridge...

I signed on for News from the site and the timing looks good. 👍 Thx @DianeB!

I too remember going to see "A Hard Day's Night" at the Rte 59 Cinema in Nanuet, NY at the big boy age of ten (or eleven?). True to the era, my Mom just dropped me and my 2 year older sister off at the front of the theater, which was a mob scene in itself. "Call me when you need a ride" Mom said, and off she went. The theater was completely packed, I lost my sister immediately and could only find a seat in the far left, front row. Squeals of delight by the young girls ensued at the dimming of the lights (likely the catalyst to my battles with tinitus) and every time a song broke out, they rushed the screen, jumping up to try and touch their favorite lad. It would have been the craziest event of my young life...until later that year my Mom dropped me off again to see an apperance by Robert Vaughn, AKA Naploean Solo from "The Man From Uncle", at the local department store Grand Way. It was even crazier!

Gary has it just right. Looking forward to meeting you Doug.

Anyone else joining Steve for the four Guitar Gathering Academy: Jazz weekly classes in September '24? In all my years of trying to keep up, I've shied away from Steve's jazz lessons and workouts, so I thought it was time for me to play a little catchup. I also took Steve's advice to prepare and tap into his Fretboard Workout: Jazz Chords series and, I've got to say, some of these chords are HARD! 😬☺️ I'm having fun with them though, and starting to get them under my fingers. Looking forward to this!

This year I've added a couple of items to my meager collection... An early 70's, JPN-made nylon guitar made by Ventura Bruno. Spruce top and (laminiated) Rosewood back and sides. Rosewood/Mahogany neck; excellent condition and a local price too good to pass up on Craigslist. It's my first nylon string guitar and I'm enjoying it a lot, as well as appreciating the light fretting touch ☺️ I've also added a very nice little acoustic amp; a Bugera AC60. It's touted to be a clone for the much more expensive AER Compact 60. It fits my needs well (literally in my crowded little practice area) and will let me finally learn to use the Boss RC-5 looper I bought late last year. As far as the (very) light activity here at the GG Forums, I attribute the drop off as much towards the overall decline of forums as a way to connect with online pals. FB; TikTok and Reddit give a much quicker hit, for some. I'm an old forum lover for years though, so still enjoy popping in here and leaving a post or two. I'd love to see it more active. I'll try to boost my input, and may nudge Steve to do the same when I see him at the Fingerstyle Retreat. 😉 His participation would greatly increase the traffic.

Greetings @randomguy. Can't help you with spoecifics, livong on CApe COd, but I'll ask if you've tried the app or website called Meetup?

This looks to be a good place to repost an excellent, automated excel worksheet that will help you practice your intervals. It also times your progress and keeps a history of past performance. It's "kinda" intuitive. Be sure to "Enable Content" if you are working in excel and get that flag at the top of the spreadsheet. This will enable the macros to work. If anyone has questions about how to use it fire away... ~Jim LMG Interval Wksht with Tracking Macro.xlsm

Me too! Looking forward to see a lot of familiar friends again!

Well said Gary, and thank you Steve and Paulette for all that you do!

Good thing he wasn't a drummer!
