rcarosin Hello there! Wow! My password worked like a charm! Thanks for taking precious time out to get the website up as you like.
Glad it worked so well for you!
Just a heads-up, please don't advertise money-making websites or things like that. (I removed that link.)
Welcome back to the forum ? Keep being awesome.
Me wife's nerves!
Honestly, I'm just getting back into playing. A few months back - when Tokai started bringing them gorgeous Cat's Eyes in - I bought a CE 80T. Man oh man. Reason being I can't really play a large bodied acoustic like my Larrivée any more.
So on this Tokai, I'm really just doing finger strengthening exercises and working in a little technique while I'm at it. The odd ditty pokes its head in now and then. I used to be able to play (most of) Anji, so we noodle with that. Dust in the Wind, a little bit of a few other pinger-ficking pieces from here and there, just to keep me hands in the game as it were.
But mainly, the exercises.
Anyone else?

I miss having my classical guitar lying around. We've just moved and I haven't yet unpacked her.
Just having her lying around in the open has lead to many a short practice session. And, like with you, a few ditties as well. Not gold but not shyte either.
And my chord-switching improved dramatically.
I'm not much of an acoustic player but there is a simplicity to acoustic guitar that encourages regular practice and a stronger focus on your compositions. (Whereas on electric, I'm mostly just tempted to wail away like a mad-man with little regard for my neighbors or even my own ears. Plus it just feels like a shlep to first plug in my guitar and turn on the amp. #lazy)
The other nice thing about classical guitars is that the nylon strings don't stress my dainty little programmer fingers too much ? I've got a booming steel-string Yamaha but I can't play on that for more than 5 minutes without some pain.
What's my point in this rambling post? I'm a weedly-weedly fan but it's really nice to have an acoustic in the open for a bit of impromptu "screwing around" or finger-strength building.
This...
But once that's done, I dunno! I'm heading back into semi-retirement - I'm not passionate about the genre. Though the songs are fun to play and the guys are great fun to work with - that'll be my last gig with djents ?
Sure something will find me - funky with more space and -dare I say it- with a more commercial appeal. Maybe a cover band or a electro-pop vibe ?
V8 shew. hectic man! not a major fan in general of the genre, but let's just say i appreciate the work that goes into producing the sound. we use django in the office (just two of us) and occasionally something like this will come up on the stream. extremely refreshing!
good luck with the gig/s, and likewise - all the best with the future

I can't call guitar playing "work" bUT , busy learning Comfortably NUmb, the wall part II, Chris Isaak Blue Hotel, Hollies Long cool woman in a black dress,
strataxe It can be hugely motivating to hear your progress.
When V8 and I did our little Pointy vs Paddle challenge, recording my progress helped me see the value of all that practise. So by the time I was getting sick and tired of practising, all I had to do was play an early clip and a more recent one to see it was worth it.
