I got a little behind due to jury duty, maybe more on that at another time, but had a lot of fun over the weekend, including a short, impromptu set (well, 2 tunes) at a local restaurant, a nice dinner at home with the family, and a trip to Santa Cruz watching some surfers out on a beautiful January day, including a short visit with Ed Claxton. So enough about my week, stuff I mentioned on the News included some of the new releases, solutions to dropping picks, the difficulty I have in determining levels to lessons, a little more info on the creations of Pumpkin Pie and The Good Life, and some thoughts on pieces that don&#8217;t have to be done note-for-note, like &#8220;<a title=\"And Winter Glows - Neil Hogan - Guitar Lesson\" href=\"http:\/\/www.totallyguitars.com\/target-songs\/518-neil-hogan-instrumentals-\/9218-and-winter-glows-neil-hogan-guitar-lesson.html\">And Winter Glows<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There was quite a bit of playing, at least partial versions of things like <a title=\"That\u2019s The Way I\u2019ve Always Heard It Should Be - Carly Simon\" href=\"http:\/\/www.totallyguitars.com\/target-songs\/560-carly-simon\/9179-that-s-the-way-i-ve-always-heard-it-should-be-carly-simon.html\">That&#8217;s The Way I&#8217;ve Alway Heard It Should Be by Carly Simon<\/a>, along with many I did not identify. I&#8217;ll leave that up to you, maybe a prize this week for the most correct answers.<\/p>\n<p>Other new lessons included Vanessa&#8217;s contribution of <a title=\"http:\/\/www.totallyguitars.com\/target-songs\/650-ed-sheeran\/9260-give-me-love-ed-sheeran-guitar-lesson.html\" href=\"http:\/\/www.totallyguitars.com\/target-songs\/650-ed-sheeran\/9260-give-me-love-ed-sheeran-guitar-lesson.html\">Give Me Love by Ed Sheeran<\/a>, and a Fly video with Sandy working on <a title=\"Fly on the Wall - Four Strong Winds with Sandy\" href=\"http:\/\/www.totallyguitars.com\/target-songs\/494-fly-on-the-wall\/9102-four-strong-winds-with-sandy.html\">Four Strong Winds by Ian Tyson<\/a>, particularly an instrumental intro to spruce it up a bit.<\/p>\n<p>The rest I will leave to you to discover and enjoy (hopefully).<\/p>\n<p>Stay Tuned &amp; In Touch,<\/p>\n<p>Neil<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn to Play Guitar with Online Lessons from Totally Guitars Totally Guitars Weekly News Podcast It was an interesting week here at TG Central.
