Hey Ben, thanks for the positive feedback. You can always depend on me to focus on rhythm, counting and strumming technique. I taught private lessons and classes for many years, and that was always the biggest challenge for students. Oh yeah, those verse chords are pretty crazy, but once you get the hang of them they are so much fun! Enjoy your progress! -Rob
2022-01-27 20:40:18 +0000 UTCThanks, Rob. I really appreciate your detailed attention to the strumming in this song. For me the hardest part (even harder than the chord grips in the verse!) is controlling the noise with the strumming pattern on that open E chord. You were spot on to mention it as a challenge!

2021-12-11 21:23:57 +0000 UTCI really like your voice in this particular song Rob! Great guitar! It has an Indigo Girls kind of vibe. I will come up with a suggestion for one of their songs because they are simply amazing...!!! I do think that a bit more female covers would be nice! Cheers!
