The tune features a guitar part that sounds like two but was expertly played by Noel (Paul) Stookey as the backdrop for an amazing vocal trio. There aren\u2019t many songs that are only four measures long but this one is, and is a lot of fun to play, nonetheless.<\/p>\n<p>We also added a new artist to the TG Library with a lesson on <a href=\"https:\/\/totallyguitars.com\/lessons\/2845-hold-me-now\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Hold Me Now<\/a> by Johnny Logan. He is someone I was not familiar with, but I do enjoy the songs that Nesh brings into our heavily American audience.<\/p>\n<p>I spent some time this week thinking about Christmas songs that would make good instrumentals, like we don\u2019t have plenty already. A few popped into my head and I test drove some of them as the camera was rolling but I could certainly use some feedback from you as to tunes you might like to see.<\/p>\n<p>I appreciate the Forum suggestions, which included I\u2019ll Be Back by The Beatles. I will get to that soon. And speaking of the Forum, a recent question about tips for buying a guitar got me thinking out loud. I gave short thoughts on things like 12 versus 14 frets, nut width, and even fat fingers.<\/p>\n<p>I am getting closer to an upcoming lesson I mentioned last week, a solo version of I\u2019ll Be Home For Christmas. I was looking for something close to what the composers originally intended and found it in place I would not have thought to look. I think you\u2019ll be surprised at what I found (although it may be a \u2018duh\u2019 moment).<\/p>\n<p>There were bits and pieces of a few other Holiday Classics, and even a nod toward Glenn Miller mixed in as well. I hope you enjoy the excursions.<\/p>\n<p>See you next week,<\/p>\n<p>Neil<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>December 2, 2022 Peter, Paul &#038; Mary popped into the TG world again recently as we started the week with and old fingerpicking classic, A Soalin\u2019.
