Last year Wilkie14c started a thread about playing one tune on a chosen instrument

And how are we all going with this?! I have finally set the target of Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring. It makes my fingers hurt, but should be worth it. Anyone else hit/surpassed their aims?

Missed seeing the original thread. I play a bit of guitar, mostly acoustic, but not that well. Things like Albatross and Wish You Were Here that others mentioned I can play pretty well. Do them at open mics occasionally with a couple of mates. But I'm really struggling with this Edgar Cruz arrangement:

I have the Cruz DVD and have got bits of it down, but reckon it's really a retirement project to get the whole thing down pat.

I'm pleased though that during this current trip to Russia I've actually managed to learn a Russian song. Played it in public last week and the locals loved it....probably more for the novelty of a foreigner singing a Russian song than the technical accomplishment, though the guitar part is rather easy:

This is my (hopefully before retirement!) project

One amongst many in fact but it would be nice to have it beat. Nowhere near yet, alas...

Nice...hope you get that one sorted!
