    Took a trip to the Smokies when I was a kid in the Boy Scouts. The bus broke down along the route, somewhere in the Smokies. Kind of blew the trip so we headed for Kitty Hawk NC instead. There use to be a place up in Virginia along the Blue Ridge mountains, that we would go to a lot as teenagers, was the "Ole Rag". Cheers to you & Abby !

    Awesome Lesson ! One of the best ways to keep our minds sharp is too learn new things every day. Glad to see you in the Smokies! I live in East Tennesse and it is awesome. My wife is from Orlando ...so I get the best of both worlds.

    This descending run will give my fret hand a workout, like everything I see on the DB channel. The Great Smoky Mountains is always a great vacation destination for Floridians--just as Florida itself is a great destination for everyone else. ⛰🎸

    Hello! I'm new to your channel 😮 as I just found you 😂. Anyway, I'm a survivor of a horrific motorcycle accident. Won't bother you with the details but after the TBI I'm struggling. Having to relearn EVERYTHING. Is there a way where I can purchase the tab or a lesson of this song and TAB? I'm having to relearn the guitar. Cords came easy but relearning songs is a struggle. My memory was smacked out of me😮 (Apologies, but humor is a great way to cope, but my jokes can be filled with cheese). If this was a casset tape or vhs ... I'm sure that I'd break it with stopping and starting while trying to learn this !! Think this will help fill in a big gap
