From the Beginning ELP
« on: April 17, 2020, 07:05:30 PM »
There is a new Facebook page called Lockdown Lounge where people perform from their "locked down" locations (home) usually.
I watched some videos and decided to upload one. I hope this link works....
Used my Taylor 717. From the Beginning ELP.

Loved it!  One of my all time favorite songs, and you nailed it.

Nice!  I find myself listening to music differently now that I'm taking lessons.  When I watch something like this video, I feel ( at my age ) I'm waisting my time.  I'll never get where I'd like to be playing wise.  But, when I have my guitars in my hands, and I look at what I've learned in the last 7 months,  I realize that I need to not feel like I'm waisting my time.  I'm sure that one day I will be able to entertain not only myself, but also others.
