@Jon Hart again a piece I wrote and arranged myself a few years ago. Looking at adding more verses and fleshing it out to make it sound fuller.

@Jon Hart this was recorded a few years back, I hadn't managed to weave in the melody. This why I'm revisiting this song

Kick starting into the New Year! https://youtu.be/bEa6HHiWUSo?si=A50uMub9PqIChPa2 Let It Be. Having not played guitar for a long while and managing to figure out the melody line. Play through a few times and to record in one take was inspiring.
🟡 AGC COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS
🔥 This is about confidence, not control. - Belonging, not pressure. - Presence, not perfection 🧡 AGC exists because I believe in being an acoustic guitarist, not just doing guitar. - I’m neurodivergent with AuDHD & Dyslexia. - I’ve been through divorce, health crashes, business crashes and identity loss. - I know what it feels like to be constantly torn with external priorities left, right and centre. 💪🏻 But I still show up every day with my guitar - Not because I “have to”. - Because “I get to”. 🎸 My guitar isn’t a task. - It isn’t practice or something I have to do - It isn’t something I squeeze in when life allows. 😌 It’s co-regulation: - Expression. - Connection. - Therapy. - Being. ⭐ It’s been with me since I was 8. - No conditions. - No judgement. - No expectations. ✨ That’s the energy AGC is built on. So here’s what we agree to, together: 🎸 You are a guitarist 🎸 You are actively playing 🎸 You’re willing to post progress & questions 🎸 You’re open to encouragement and feedback 🎸 You’re here to participate, not observe ❌ There are no sideliners here. - No lurkers or “I’m too busy” excuses. - No “I’ll get to it someday”. 🤘🏻 If you’re not actively playing or engaging… - This group isn’t for you 👊🏻 A gentle but important note: “I can’t because I’m ND” “I have no time” 😬 These often come from fear, not truth. - We all battle with MET: Money. Energy. Time. - This space is about prioritising, not blaming the world outside us. 🔦 AGC is about shining a light inward - On our playing. - Our presence. - Our responsibility. - I’ll meet you 50% if you meet me 50%. - This isn’t my community. - It’s yours and ours 🤲🏻 In your corner always 🧡🎸

Time to commit. I'm recovering from the flu which I had over the New Year period. Only returned to work today. Looking forward to posting some playing later, if I have the energy levels.
