Fingering charts?
I’ve just started the 30 Days, and today did the Blues Shuffle lesson. All well and good, I think I’m starting to believe I can actually get my fingers from hitting adjacent strings, eventually. And this on a guitar with a 1-9/16″ nut! Anyway, I’m having a little trouble knowing what strings to fret, as my computer is older and can’t keep up with the video very well. It would be extremely helpful to have a fingering chart for each of the lessons, or even just one chart for all of the chords we will be using in this program. The blues shuffle is fun and I will be playing it in my practice sessions, but Tony goes too fast to follow along, even when he’s going slow!

There is a “download tab” link, whose icon is the word “tab” and a shot bit of tablature lines, just below the videos on the far right. On the “Practice Fretting with Blues Shuffle” (week 1, day 1 of 30 days to play) that will be a link to https://tonypolecastro.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/The-Blues-Shuffle-30D2P.pdf I think the tab is what you’re looking for. That will give you the string and fret. What it won’t give you is which finger to use. Having that up while watching the video makes it easier to follow along too.
Don’t recall if there was a “how to read tab” in the 30 days to play. But if not, well I was going to say google it, but then I noticed this in my search results. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2lJjaDDD0k It’s Tony and I think it’s from 30 days to play.

Thanks drew.sudell, that is exactly what I need! I need something to look at while I’m trying to follow the video and search for the frets/strings at the same time!

@drew.sudell pointed you in the right direction for downloading the tab. I need to use it on almost every lesson.
You mentioned that the play along video was too quick for you. You can slow down the video by clicking on the 1x at the bottom of the video and slow it down to 3/4 speed (0.75x) or half-speed (0.5x). Hope that helps.
