"Time" by Pink Floyd was written collaboratively by all four band members: Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Nick Mason, and Richard Wright. However, the iconic lyrics were penned exclusively by Roger Waters

A brief finger style blues in G. I never play this the same way twice.
It's a good mess around progression that you can feel out your mood and

A brief video demonstrating the ease of playing with a standard chord

Companion video to discussion of meeting John Hartford where I perform an original arrangement of Gentle On My Mind. Enjoy.

A brief discussion on how I met John Hartford and his music prior to playing Gentle on My Mind. The live performance is in a follow up video titled Gentle on My Mind Part II
Keef and Mick's 1968 Classic Factory Girl. Love the lyrics on this one so fun to sing. Enjoy my arrangement as I was unable to book Dave Mason in to play mandolin :)
My quest to become accomplished continues. Like some slow locomotive moving down the track the light at the end of the tunnel keeps moving farther back. Such is the guitar and trying to learn how to play. Hope you enjoy.
