7 Months Since I Started
I started to learn how to play the guitar on March 4th, 2024 and today I am September 7th, 2024. It has been 7 months and what I have learned so far is:
1. Chords E, G, D, C and being able to change between them all.
2. A couple of strumming patterns for WonderWall and Someone You Loved
I am hoping that in the next 5 months I will be able to keep my level of improvement and hopefully be able to play around a camp fire and with people very soon.

You are doing well. You didn’t mention it but I’ll bet you also have an Em and Am chord and will soon add a mini F chord. At the end of this month TAC will have a little review time. You will have a “campfire” going this fall. Congratulations.

Thanks Albert,
You are right I can play the A minor and E minor as well, I totally forgot. The F chord and barre chords is something I am still trying to figure out.
Cross my fingers by the end of this year I can play around the campfire.

Thanks for sharing, Brandon! I lived in Montreal until the late 80’s, only made it to Toronto a few times. I went to college in Ottawa (Carleton).
I started about the same time as you (actually a bit earlier but it was it wasn’t TAC and I fell away from doing that other program). By the time I found TAC I had stopped for over 2 months, lost all the calluses. So July 3rd was my restart, although I knew how form about 10 chords already but my C, G, D, B7 even E were often muted. I’m getting better with that side of things but still working on transitioning quicker so as to actually be able to play a song.-
Hi LangerKing, small world. Welcome fellow Canuck! Keep at it, I am now trying to learn barre cords which with my small fingers appears to be so difficult.

I’ve lived in Florida since ’88, so I hardly think of myself as a Canuck anymore (except when it comes to hockey) although most people know that I’m from there. There’s also the element that although I grew up on the West Island, I was born in Austria and also speak fluent German having completed grades 6-12 over there before returning to go to University.
My daughters grew up here and think of themselves as Floridians. I Identify more with Tom Petty than with Neil Young these days. But I’ve still got my sisters living up there, one in Montreal and one in Victoria.
