This clip was taken directly from today’s Daily Challenge. You might not be in the Daily’s yet since you are new to TAC. But Tony addresses the expectations issue that all new players face.
I was right there when I started just over 2 years ago, thinking I would have a playlist of a few dozen songs within a year. Reality sets in and you discover the hard truth that this C chord is kicking my butt and I’m not gonna learn it by sundown! I got discouraged early on, I had pretty much quit 3 months later when I found TAC.
Today I have most of the essential chords under my fingers and while I’m still struggling with some of the barre chords, there isn’t one that scares me. I’m getting there. Today’s challenge took me about 5 minutes to be able to play, 2 years ago I could have spent a week and not been able to play the first line.
It will come, you are improving even though you don’t see it. In our struggles is when we are learning the most. Suddenly it’s going to surprise you that you can do it; but only if you continue!
Enjoy your journey! I assure you I had many, many thuds on mine.
