        Hi all,

        Here is my submission for this month’s challenge… play an emotion.

        I focused on Joy… “Give me Joy in my heart (keep me praising)!”

          Ah, the happy I IV V in D major. Nicely done Rich. That has a hymnal sound to it.

          Root note patterns >>> CAGED shapes >>> TRIAD'S. Just put in the work and watch your guitar skills soar.

            The sight of a touch, or the scent of a sound,
            Or the strength of an Oak with roots deep in the ground.

              Nice one, Rich. I sang this one in Sunday School as a kid. Singing is good for the soul. 😃

                    What a happy sound you’ve produced Rich. Joyful is the right word.
