Tennessee whisky (intro solo) Dan Leveille 2026-09-05 | Happy Straturday everybody. I’ve been working on the intro solo for Tennessee whiskey and a bit of the chord progression the past couple days. I’m not much of a country fan, but really like this song.I have a hard time with the Bm barre chord, and try to substitute with suggestions on YouTube tutorials I’ve seen. A quiet rainy Saturday is a good time for some playing.#enjoytheday #havefunpracticing

I’m blessed to be here and thankful for each day I get to play.#enjoytheday #havefunplaying
Picanha! Dan Leveille 2026-08-31 | 3 years ago today, I’d been in Hospital for 10 weeks following a near fatal 🏍️ collision. 8 months away from home in total!

🇺🇸 Woman - Intro Dan Leveille 2026-08-30 | 486 days ago, at 52 yrs of age I decided to teach myself how to play guitar. While back home from 8 months in hospital and healing from a near fatal 🏍️ accident, I needed something healthy and creative for my mind and body.With encouragement from friends and family, a gifted SG, I started the journey. The Yousician app got me started, and @MartyMusic kept me learning to this day!#luckyman #enjoytheday #havefunplaying
If 6 was 9 Dan Leveille 2026-08-26 | If 6 was 9…I felt comfortable playing this riff along with the song, while focusing on timing and relaxing/having fun. The hum is still there in the amp, and I am going to have my good friend who’s a luthier look at the shielding soon. In the meantime, I turned the gain down, used the neck pickup and kept the volume under 11 😎 (master also). Wanted to have a good sound & tone for the song as well. #enjoytheday #havefunplaying

The acoustic and electric parts/chords & notes were fun to sit down and practice this morning. Much more learning to do, and it’s never too late to start something new.#enjoytheday #havefunplaying #mysweetlord
Smoked & braised deer shoulder Dan Leveille 2026-08-13 | One of my favourite ways to cook venison, aka deer meat! Wild game on the smoker & in the oven for a wonderful pulled meat meal with tons of flavour and zero “gaminess”. Don’t submit this cut to the grinder!!! The whole shoulder is excellent meat when cooked this way.#enjoytheday #lovewhatyoudo #getouttayercomfortzone
A beautiful moment Dan Leveille 2026-08-11 | This is the 1st time I’ve seen a moment like this in my life. All the years hunting, camping and spending time outdoors. I’m so glad I got just a few feet away from this and managed to get it on video! #nursingtwins #heabuttsformilk

The Weight Intro Dan Leveille 2026-07-29 | Easily one of the most recognizable song intros/riffs! I watched a few tutorials on this riff (and the whole song), with each person doing it differently. I worked on it for a couple days to get to this point, and will continue to. Enjoying being a beginner!@MartyMusic showed a substitution that I used, as I still can’t make certain shapes. Cm7 and some of the B’s. #466daysintoit #selftaught #enjoytheday #havefunplaying

Finger picking country/blues Dan Leveille 2026-07-22 | Trying my hand at some finger picking and I found a great riff on FB to practice with.

Green River Dan Leveille 2026-07-11 | Green River by CCR - I found a really good tutorial link, which I’m adding below. This is a very fun riff/song, that I felt comfortable enough to play along with in the background.

Scratch my back Dan Leveille 2026-07-08 | Scratch my back. I watched a tutorial based on the Slim Harpo original song. I also listened to the Fabulous Thunderbirds copy. Timing continues to be something I’m working on, and so I had my earbuds in while playing. When I have a song playing out loud, I find it harder to keep my timing right. Idk if anyone else feels the same? 🤷🏻♂️#enjoytheday #Havefunplayingyoutube.com/shorts/oaOVt9qRMIQ?si=hsgrqx41TYI-VwxV
She sells Sanctuary Dan Leveille 2026-07-02 | She sells Sanctuary - my best take on it so far. Even though I’m a beginner, I like to challenge myself with some unfamiliar guitar territory. Choosing songs that I like and haven’t tried before. Plus, this one was in unfamiliar parts on the guitar for me: octave & higher frets. #enjoytheday #havefunplaying #445daysintoit
Depression Dan Leveille 2026-07-01 | Depression, Depression! When I thought about the tittle for this video, I sang it out loud.

Along with PTSD, severe depression and how I fight it is part of my daily life.All our experiences vary, and how we handle them does too. It is my sincere hope that you find this video relatable & helpful. Take good care of yourselves and those you love! 🚓🚑🚒

Cinnamon Girl Dan Leveille 2026-06-17 | I love this album and I love this song! I’ve been a fan of NY ever since I was a kid, and this is definitely in my top 10 faves. Thought I’d give it a go. Lots more song to go and smoothing it out, but I’m happy with where I’m at for a little over a year and a half of being self taught. #436daysintoit #enjoytheday #havefunplaying
