    Cadgirl-

    You have made a great post!- (not surprising🙂).

    Your “Stop rehashing the same old thing and learn something new” line is right on the money- at least for me….. and probably many other TAC-ers.

    I think maybe as I acquire new skills- (or improve to new LEVELS of skills I maybe already have)– I feel like I sometimes come up against some sort-of a “wall”. Hard to explain in words. Feel like I need to “shake things up” a bit every now and then, with adding something NEW- (as you said).

    I try to keep “moving the goal line”- but only after I feel I’ve reached a good “consistency” level. Perfection- no, consistency- yes— and that’s just fine.

    As for me, I’ve been working toward a “first five” songs to memory- (and it’s been challenging but tough- I can’t seem to make up my mind🤨 which ones, mostly). Also been learning/memorizing new chord groups, and once in a while a new scale- (wow, those are tough for me to memorize).

    The TAC Daily lessons and Skills Courses are great, for sure, as they provide for a REALLY great foundation of all skills guitar- (I’m sure there must be a better way to phrase that)- but pushing oneself beyond that– to “learn something new”, as you said– is a real driving force—– “moving the goal line”.

    Thank you for your post- GREAT food for thought.

    PS- I’ve been staying away from the Forum for awhile- on purpose- (to give you all a break from my ramblings-on)- but your post hit a good-nerve.
