Hi Felicia,
First off, lots of tremendous advice from @Loraine .
I am new to TAC as well (day 11). I am doing the 30 Days to Play (in the second week) and also learn and practice through the Daily Challenges. These are both fun and challenging. I typically have to slow them down to a very slow speed (ie. 60 BPM) to learn and practice them using my metronome. Once I have it down at that speed I bump 5he metronome up a bit (eg. 5 BPMs) and repeat. It feels gratifying to be able to see my improvement with this method.
I also noticed the 30 Day teaches us the G, C and D chords. As Tony points out, there are many, many, many songs that use these 3 chords. Would electing a song your really enjoy and would like to play be energizing for you? Perhaps doing an internet search of “songs that us G C D chords” would be a good place to start. Once you pick a song do another search for “song title chords” (where song title is the title of the song you selected) and you will find the song with the lyrics and chords charted.
I am finding that what I am learning in the Daily Challenges can be applied to songs I know or want to learn.
Finally, the “Play For Us” forum is a great way to what other TAC family members are doing and seeing lots of playing styles.
