Awesome!! 🙂 Congrats on your persistence and growth! Open mic nights – yikes – I get so nervous just recording alone in my room in the dark!!

Rock on!🤘

[Loraine]

Start out very nervous on open mics, but eventually they become your friends and it doesn’t matter how you play – much mire relaxed. They’ve helped me grow.

Thank you so much for the words of encouragement.

[Philb]

Nice job @Loraine and the improvement of your😊🧙‍♂️😎 playing shows!!!

[Loraine]

Really appreciate you saying there’s been improvemment and it’s noticeable. There were several times I questioned my ability to play. It was weird though. Almost overnight things just clicked in my brain and made sense, and I was able to transition between chords faster, keep an in time rhythm, and my vocals are finally loosening up and allowing me to sing (somewhat more in tune), and strumming a multitude of different strum patterns. Hoping to do some fingerpicking in the next 6 months.

[Loraine]

Thank you for the very kind words @stevieblues ! I am having fun, and I have seen such an improvement the last few months. Here’s to the next 1000!

Wow- Loraine!! Congrats!

I’m “behind” you by about 250 or so. One of my best memories was when I first joined the TAC family- (~2 1/2 years ago)- I didn’t really know what I was doing, even after about 40+ years of off-&-on playing. I finally had direction!!!!!

Well, when I “jumped-both-feet” into the world of TAC— you were the first person to welcome me in!

Many might say “wow…. big deal….”, but it was important to have that- I was entering uncharted territory for sure! I will never forget that– and I/we also have enjoyed your always-encouraging and helpful advice.

Rock-on, miss!

Again— congrats!

[Loraine]

@the-old-coach I remember well when you joined. I miss the old forums where there was an avenue to welcome the newcomers. The feeling of being welcomed, accepted and a part of meant so much to be when I joined, and the group carried me through the rough seas beginning my journey. I’m glad I could be there for you then, as well as now.

Thank you for your continued support on my journey and for your encouragement. 🙂

[HowardM]

Very proud of what you have accomplished; what a great story. Please keep up the great work and keep on playing.

[Loraine]

Thank you so much @HowardM . You’ve been a staple for my entire journey, and your support and encouragement have helped me greatly. I’m glad there’s been noticeable improvement to keep me going. It’s been a definite journey, and it’s still a fun ride.

[Marisa]

That is so awesome @Loraine What am amazing accomplishment! Keep on, keeping on, and enjoy! 👍🏼

[Loraine]

Thanks so much @Marisa . It’s because of caring people like you that I’ve made it this far.

You followed the program, like a champ, and that is commendable. I did too, for over a year, and then took some deviations. Trying to get back to the discipline of the steady lessons, and getting through Fretboard Wizzard. There is so much value to that, and, oh so much to learn. I feel like, the more you know, the more there is to learn! Good thing we are life-time learners!! 😂 Jam on sister!
