I'm just bringing this topic back up.

Spent the last 3 weeks in Flagstaff AZ.  Serious guitar withdrawal.  Thankfully, my brother has an older Yamaha that only needed a string change.  I never realized how much I missed my Taylors (a lot!).  Visited Arizona Music Pro on rt66 for an hour of Taylor acoustic bliss one evening (no where near enough time).

So what's new?  I'm worked on refining Zeppelin's Over The Hills And Far Away.  Additionally, I'm currently dedicating a lot of time for Joe Satriani's Rubina's Blue Sky Happiness.  This tune sounds absolutely glorious on the PS56ce and will keep me busy for a while. :)

Keep the songs coming....

Just finished working out "My Heart Will Go On" from Titanic. So beautiful on fingerpicking guitar and on mountain dulcimer.

I've just joined a worship team in my new hometown, so I'm learning 4-6 songs per week! I'll be performing my own material a week from this Sunday. Busy, busy, busy!

That will be fun.  Will there be more guitarist other than you?

Yes, there is another acoustic guitarist, a bass player, a percussionist and several singers. The other guitarist (worship leader) is a straight-ahead strummer, so it gives me the opportunity to capo, pick and counterpoint to his playing - so far, everyone thinks that the overall band sound has more energy and depth, so I'm encouraged!

Cathy's Song by Paul Simon.  Although it violates my official song structure requirements of not having a B section or chorus, it's just a beautiful song with some interesting chords.  A really nice fingerpicker with an instrumental solo section.

Great song - I remember learning and playing it when I was 16 or so...I still play it once in a while these days.

Song, song(s).  I’m kinda like Scrat from Ice Age.  Jump around, easily distracted.   Mostly right now,  Rush’s, Closer to the Heart, Who’s, Behind Blue Eyes.  Cleaning up Black Crowes, She Talks to Angels.

Currently working on "I walk the line" by Johnny Cash. Yeah, I know it's been out there quite a while, but no time like the present.

Coming along quite well so far. Hard part is to memorize all the lyrics, and working on the pace of the song. You know, 'get rhythm".

If you are attempting this piece, note that I found 4 key changes, one before each additional verse. Not overly complex, but just there. There is also a bass walk intro and a bass walk to introduce each new key.
