@brandonkWelcome to the TAC community and congratulations on your leap of faith and starting the 30 days to play.
It seems like just yesterday that I was right where you’re at. I had never played the guitar before. I was given a used guitar 20 years earlier with the promise to my step father that I was going to learn to play it. It took COVID for me to pick it up and start researching how to learn to play it, and I came across one of Tony’s ads and was intrigued. I thought why not and jumped in. Well, screech to a halt. I couldn’t jump in, because that guitar that I basically ignored for 20 years needed some medical attention from lack of humidity control, and it needed a good set up, and the frets sanded down. So for 2 weeks, I simply bugged the hell out of the forum asking questions until I got the guitar back from the luthier.
I started with the 30 days to play, then the next 6 chords, and then the daily lessons and some of the skills courses. I don’t think I’ll ever be a great player, but that’s okay with me. I’m having fun. I began playing songs rather quickly. Maybe within 6 months playing 2 chord songs. Some are better than others or faster than others.
I’ve been playing now for 3 1/2 years. It was only about a year ago that things started falling into place for me, and I started picking up on songs faster. I still and not a great player, but I have a large number of songs under my belt.
