@MikeGaurnier I just want all of us to make progress and smile bundles when we’re both learning and playing. I seriously believe it’s 100 percent actually TAC that has made me advance so much in the past two weeks since returning after chemo treatment. I’ve done the daily challenge every day, but what’s changed is that where I’ve hit a challenge, I haven’t just repeated exactly what I’ve been doing because thats’ completely pointless as I wouldn’t get anywhere, instead I’ve stopped, stepped back and thought now why do I have this challenge, what am I doing wrong.
I’ve then gone looking on Youtube or where ever until I’ve found the answers, like emailing Larrivee to find out what strings my guitar was shipped with and then finding out why strumming is so hard and like just now wanting to know how to make bar chords easier which is use light strings and not medium as well as put my thumb on the middle of the neck and not get lazy with it poking up above, which is perhaps something that we do because it’s easier, but it’s kind of short term pain for long term gain isn’t it.
@MikeGaurnier my fretts might not be buzzing anymore but i certainly am and just so badly can’t wait to do the Daily Challenge tomorrow night, even if I don’t like what iot sounds like, I’ve done it before, it’s to hard, it’s to easy… what ever the reason not to, I have so many reasons to do and this new Larrivee limited edition 34 builds only is making this journey soooooo easy.
The next best thing I can suggest to a new guitar, is taking what anyone has into a shop and getting a luthier to set it up. We grow with what we have and don’t realise that adjustments are going out. Maybe the frets are various levels, or the bridge or nut needs replacing etc etc. Sure we change our strings, but getting back to basics, if the body parts are not perfect to start with, then strings won’t make that much difference, we need to start from basics and work forward and for me, that’s what I will be doing 👍
