How I TAC 4/27/21
How many days per week do you play?
I play Monday-Friday on the TAC Challenges and rehearse songs on weekends.
What time of day do you play?
Around 11am. This follows my morning workout routine, which can vary from day to day. If I have down time in the afternoon/evening, I will pick it back up to play a song I am working on.
Where do you play?
With kids now home from school/work (having moved back in due to Covid) my home world shrunk and as the pic below shows, I have a small quiet corner in my bedroom where I can play uninterrupted. Just shows that you don’t need a music room or large space to have a TAC Jam!
What was your guitar life like before having a guitar routine & how has implementing a consistent guitar routine helped you?
Prior to joining TAC, I took lessons 1 day/week and struggled in between sessions on where and how to practice. I didn’t have a set time or space and just picked it up when I felt the urge. I tried to stay committed, but there was no one to be accountable to. The simple act of writing down goals of practice along with time and location made it a tangible goal that ( like exercise ) has become a part of my daily routine.
Community is something that everyone wants to feel they are a part of and even if I don’t have a comment on the Daily Challenge, I always read it to see how others are coping, either to grab some great tip or just to hear the support for a #smallwin. I did my first Open Mic a couple of months ago and while I was so nervous, the support made me feel like I’m a part of something bigger than myself. It’s like we all share some fantastic secret that drives smiles and that feeling of being on a winning team, even though most of us are practicing by ourselves. I think that this is the ‘secret sauce’ of TAC.
Bonus Question: What is the one non-guitar item that is a must have in your guitar routine?
It has to be my daily morning workout routine. Once my exercise is over and I get out of the shower, my mind is clear and my ability to focus on the Daily Challenge is at its peak.
