Frank, So glad I found you. Your channel is exactly what I need. Longtime electric guitar player - lots of experience in bands and large musical productions. A year ago, I began to shift toward acoustic. A former bandmate has been playing solo acoustic gigs for about a year and loves it. You see where this is going. I've been working up an acoustic playlist with the hope of starting to play out in 2025. Your channel is speaking directly to me. Thanks so much for your insights and instruction. Looking forward to learning more from you.

Achy Breaky Heart! I do it in A. A-E and, if adventurous you can play a few E7's instead of the Es! :) Yeah, critics say it's one of the worst songs ever written but the listeners at every gig sing along/tap their feet and often dance!

you can congratulate yourself for the subscriptions friend. Dont thank us. I'm thanking you. ive performed before and looking to start again. your channel is not only full of huge tips and ideas but also encouragement . it feels like genuine support for my personal journey. I play all three songs already but you've added something to all of them got to get on your looper vid . I never really used my looping pedal before. it's quite basic so I questioned it's value in a performance . I can see now I've been wasting time not getting on with it.

Definitely check out the looper video…mine gathered dust for about two years . The overdubbing confused me…now I get it, and it’s totally a game changer!! My first creation was The Joker by Steve Miller. Now it’s The Joker by Greg Myser 😂🤯🥳…putting my twist on it ( I like that better than the overused, “you made it your own” cliche ). Have fun!! Thanks Frank🙏🏻!!

Great video as usual, I hope you don't mind me pointing out that the bonus song Tennessee Whisky is basically the same as I'd Rather Go Blind which is something I sometimes do in my four or five song interlude set at my local bar in Brazil (my growly bluesy vocal suits it better than Beatles or Fleetwood Mac).

@FrankPersico Thank you SO much!! I played some guitar decades ago but couldn't afford instruction , got frustrated at my lack of progress and gave it up. But I always felt a big void in my life without being able to play . You have inspired me- although now I'm a senior citizen- to pick up the guitar again. Your clear, inspired instruction makes me feel as though I CAN DO IT!! Who says you can't teach an "old dog" new tricks??!!
