Finally Getting Back to Playing
I played while in high school, but only played chords and did some good picking. However, when I went to college I put my guitar down and have not really played again until now. I’m 69 and retired and want to learn again for my grandkids. I found this course and started last week and I’m really happy that I can get through the blues baseline perfectly now and I’m progressing pretty fast. I’m excited to see where I’ll be at the end of next week.

That’s great. I had learned a few chords maybe 15 years ago, but was too busy working and with life to be consistent, and I had no direction. I joined TAC in 2020 and have found it great for what I needed. I am 72 now, and so starting quite old (and with the usual limits of mobility and arthritis in the hands), it has been a challenge; but playing daily, I have progressed, enjoy it, and finally feel like I can say I play guitar (even though I have my limits). The skill courses offer quite a variety, and once you are into the Daily Challenges, you are on your way. Even when a week of the Daily Challenge has been over my head, and ability, just playing through, the best I can; I have grown. Keep on going and enjoy the journey. Welcome!

That’s fantastic – keep it up. I also have arthritis and I’m hoping this will help keep my hands limber and my mind active.
