#4 Reboot Your Guitar Practice!
– Minimum Time Commitment of 10 minutes can lead to more progress than you realize.
5 Effects of MTC
1.) Small chunk is realistic and keeps things consistent even when life gets crazy (achievable)
2.) It’s the lead domino to an unconscious and automatic practice habit
3.) Your learning and playing is efficient. You know what you are going to play going in and your focus is laser-like
4.) MTC can lead to longer practice time. Often the hardest part is the start and with MTC the monumental task of getting better seems much more doable.
5.) Small chunks add up like spare change, keeps your attitude positive, and allows you to continually walk away from practice sessions saying “I did it”

#2 Featured Artist: Willie Watson
Willie Watson breaths new life into old songs.
His voice and instrumentation are impeccable and he manages to capture the essence of each song he sings. He only has two albums, but both are excellent.
He also has his own signature Larrivee guitar, which he sells from his website for a very reasonable price. With his own clothing brand as well, he is indeed a jack of all trades.
Watch Willie Play “Gallows Pole”
Listen to Willie’s Version of “Rock, Salt, and Nails”

The link to actually watch episode 107 is not visible on youtube or the acoustic life channel
Trivia Question: Did anybody notice that the picture behind the trivia logo was Jimmy Rogers…with JIMMIE ROGERS clearly inlaid on his fretboard? To my credit, I guessed right BEFORE I noticed it. 😉
Tony, YES! you MUST see Echoes in the Canyon. Incredible!
A great show.and I agree 10 minutes a day,does lead to progress.see you at show #108.2 years already ,wow.congraulations.!! On your show and on your gray hair,on your beard.!!😂💡👍🎉🎸🎤🎸🎸☕️
Hey Tony and Noah,
Concerning the trivia question on Episode 107, not only did I know the answer before you said, “Is the answer A?”, I had a trivia retort for you! In addition to all that Jimmie Rodgers widow did for the career of E.T. (Earnest Tubb), she loaned Jimmie’s guitar to Earnest, which he played for the next 40 years! The guitar was a custom-ordered 1927 Martin 000-45. At the end of his show, E.T. would flip the guitar over to show on the back the word “THANKS”, which was placed there by Rodgers years earlier. The guitar now resides in the Jimmie Rodgers Museum.
Best Wishes,

Hi Tony,
Great show. The minimum time commitment is a great idea. I am gonna give it a shot.
Cheers,
Jim
Blimey, haven’t seen the rest of the video but here’s the thing, as an older learned, 67, it’s damn frustrating cos you remember how easy it was to learn something as a younger. When those stumpy, slightly arthritic fingers loses the p!ot, reminds you that it’s all going to hell in a handcart!😀 still think youth is wasted on the young,,,just saying.
Hi Tony and Noah. I have enjoyed your show since the beginning and always look forward to Tuesdays.
At the end of the AT #106 show you mentioned you would do another review of the NV Tone internal mic system in episode #107 but I saw nothing about it. Will it be in a future show? I’m interested in the product and would like to hear about your experience. Thanks.
Tony just have a quick question after playing for many years my work horse guitar is an Ovation custom ballista what is your opinion
Thanks Allen Sale
