A little improvising opened and closed this week's Update, starting with a couple tunes you should recognize and ending with some random noodling. Along the way there was news about our latest lesson - the solo arrangement of I'll Be Back by The Beatles, thoughts about a few movies, a mention of our latest 3-Minute Challenge winner, and news about our next TG Live.

We will have more info soon but we are planning the live show for February 14 at 11:00 AM Pacific time. The focus will be on instrumental arranging and we will be looking for suggestions soon on songs that might be appropriate. A little of Don't Think Twice was played as a possible candidate.

Neil:
Thank you so much!
I really enjoy your dialog and your playing; just picking tunes out of the air, particularly "old times" for an old guy-me.
I always look forward to your wrap-up. As silly as it seems, the 3 minute guitar pick up has been a good boost for me to get back into playing, after a long of not.

Regards,
Curtis

Hey Curtis,

Thanks a bunch for the message and I am always happy to hear that folks enjoy my rambling and playing. The Weekly Updates are not usually very well planned out, just a couple points I hope to get to, but then I rarely stay on the rails.

All the best,

Neil
