Just when I thought I would be back with the group, life has been throwing me curve balls. I decided to just take it one moment at a time. Past couple of days I have had some times to play guitar. I am going in a couple of different directions right now with chord voicing, working on improvisation, and playing both lead and rhythm. I found a really good video about playing and using double stops. Which I was having a hard time grasping the concept. Jake thanks for selecting me as winner for the last contest. That really made my day and I felt super special. Happy strumming everyone.

Well, I discovered that if you plug the Fender Mustang Micro Plus into an AMP... it works! 😲 In the sales information on the Fender website, nor the Instructions that comes with it ever mentions that you can plug it from your guitar into an amp. That said, it's a little convoluted: You need to have the Bluetooth ON from the Micro Plus to the computer, and the cord from the Micro Plus into the computer, too. Then you need to change the Settings in your computer to recognize the Micro Plus. Now, I can change the volume on my computer AND the Micro Plus (it's an advantage to doing that way), and the sound comes from my amp. I'm using a small amp with NO settings since the Micro Plus gadget does all of the settings. You can always use headphones, but I don't want to use them a lot since I don't think it's a great idea hearing-wise.

All the School of Rock show case went great last night. It was a lot of fun, but I am glad that it is over. I learned a lot, it takes a lot of work playing with others. Knocking on Heavens Door
