Get your ear plugs ready - here I come! ๐Ÿ˜
I'm reviewing songs I played on guitar before I put down the guitar in favor of the piano keyboard a year and a half ago. I'm quite rusty on them which is to be expected. But with the enthusiasm that normally accompanies ignorance, I'll post it anyway. I'll start with "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" I recorded this week. This is my rendition I scabbed together from various YouTube teachers. It works in that I don't need another person or machine recording to play rhythm for me, especially in the instrumental in the middle. I have the cheapest guitar known to man. The Sound system I have is awful. I'm in what is basically a storage room. This is also my first try at recording. I see I need to make adjustments.

@Sean Christiansen It'll be interesting to see if I can explain what I did. I'll need to organize it somehow. Should be fun. UPDATE: What's the matter with me?! I can do better than to make a video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=favtj8UOldQ&t=1s At around 11 minutes in the guy's video, he shows how to do the instrumental while keeping the rhythm going. I adjusted what he taught a little and it seems ok. I didn't want to do that power chord he uses that is hard on my hand. I think the only valuable thing I could do is to break down how I do the instrumental if anyone would want that and if ok.

@Sean Christiansen Ok, I'll see what I can put together. Be afraid . . . be very afraid! Ha ha!

@Chris Lawrence Well, Chris, you just show up everywhere! Cool! And thank you for the welcome! I'm interested in rock and Blues. I like the energy!
Kicking Things Off! (Introductions)
Iโ€™ll start things off! Iโ€™m Sean, a guitar instructor from Texas, I have been teaching since the mid 90s. Iโ€™ve had a brick and mortar Guitar Academy since 2004. Iโ€™ve been teaching online since 2009. Tell me about you! Iโ€™d love to hear your story! Doesnโ€™t have to be elaborate, just what you play how long, any favorite guitars or bands or passions, and anything else youโ€™d like to share! I was a fixture in the Musicians Talk Forum on Ultimate Guitar, which many of you have probably heard of. This was where we all talked music theory and helped other guitarists. Iโ€™ve made many great friendship over the years from people there! Currently, I am one of the leaders in the Facebook community โ€œGuitar and Music Theoryโ€ which has over 100k members. Beyond all of that, helping others is a passion of mine, and I have been fortunate to have picked up some very unique insights about music and making it easy for others to do the same. I really just want to grow a really tight knit community of like minded players, and hang out, help one another, so if youโ€™d like to join in, welcome aboard, and I hope to be a positive influence in your own guitar journey. One thing that I hope we can do are those virtual meetups, where we just hang out and talk about whatever. and Iโ€™m excited to see where that goes. Below is a picture of my studio, where Iโ€™ve been teaching out of since 2016. Look forward to getting to know everyone and making new friends!

I'm an old fart whose career was sent to India and China when I was 58 years old, so forcibly retired. Now I live in a small rural town in Kansas with nothing to do (you can send me sympathy cards. Ha ha!) Anyway, not to be beaten, I took up the guitar, so I've been a beginner since then (I'm now 76 years old). I also put down the guitar a year and a half ago and took up piano keyboard. While the piano sounds very nice, this week I faced the fact that the guitar just sounds "cooler" to me. So here I am. I've joined a few guitar groups and I'm seeing if I fit in. I see @Anne Easton is in this community and she is a load of positive energy and very encouraging. A word of warning - I post videos, mistakes and all, so have your ear plugs at the ready!

As a retired individual residing in Kansas, USA, I aspire to learn songs from artists such as Dean Martin, classic Country songs, and improvisation.
