  Hello AM friends,
  
  First: Late September 15 Happy 69th Birthday to Joe.
  Late September 15 Happy 70th Birthday to me.
  
  Challenge: Struggles – #1 Finger picking
  #2 Timing
  #3 Keeping that G open string ringing the right way
  #4 Twisted fingers, need to have the right fingering from the C to the G chord
  otherwise it srews the 2 last chords.
  #5 Keeping it steady because she sings 4 verses before going to the chorus.
  
  Ok that is enough struggles for one day lol
  
  Alright the song is Fast cars from Tracy Chapman.
  
  Bass: Stingray 5 string, Honky tonk piano (Eastwest)
  Fender strat
  GS mini Taylor
  Drums Reaper
  
  Enjoy

  Happy 70th, Andre! I’ve never seen you play acoustic guitar before, and sounds great. Very cool, mellow sounding post you’ve come up with here and enjoyed the video.
