Kent-
First off- welcome to TAC!- (it was a great choice).
Cadgirl and Loraine have got it right. Re-read their posts. Then read them… again… each sentence…… They are fantastic advisors- find some of their other posts around here in the Forum- you’ll quickly recognize how helpful and caring they are.
Get “this part” right- even if it seems really difficult, confusing, and slow… for now.
Here’s a thought about the tabbed-music and chords. It can maybe be hard to “get” all the tabbed lessons if you have really NO idea what it’s supposed to SOUND like- because the “song” is not something you recognize.
That said- maybe try this- type into your computer the title of a simple song you KNOW- (any song- does not matter)- then add to that, the word “chords”. (Example- “wagon wheel chords”. Then just hit “enter” of course.
It will come up under several different websites. Pick the easiest one- that’ll take some “looking”. Poke around inside a couple of them. Go for the “easiest” one.
The whole goal here is to “see” how all this tab-stuff that you’re looking at– works and sounds IN A SONG THAT YOU KNOW- and how all that tab-symbol-stuff actually sounds.
All the tab symbolism looked like chicken-scratch to me when I first started out- but it became easier when I could HEAR what it meant, while SEE-ing on the page and following along thru the song.
Once you learn how all the symbolism SOUNDS- take your new, very general, knowledge and apply it back to your TAC Daily challenges. Things may look different! Keep monkeying with it Have fun soaking it all up!
Kinda hard for me to put into words- hope you can see what I mean…..
My two cents. And I certainly apologize if you already know all this.
