Cancer, Practice, Shop Purchase and Return to TAC Completed

Posted by Terry B on January 17, 2022 at 3:57 pm

Hi to all of you guitar geeks, I’ve just finished my chemo after beating cancer for the 2nd time and have decided to return to TAC to play guitar, after Tony popping up on YouTube tonight (thanks millions Tony for your total dedication).

I have completed my 10 minute practice tonight of 100bpm instead of 160bpm as I need to get my fingers talking again and tomorrow I’ll start to ramp the speed up, as long at the timing stays consistent. I’ve also ordered two t shirts from our family store here, which I will alternate wearing each night so that I feel completely dedicated to my guitar playing journey. I wish everyone of you a fun fulfilling 2022 TAC future

  Thanks for that priceless reminder that’s sometimes very difficult to follow, because as your profile states, once we pick our faithful friend up, it’s so difficult to put it back down. But I seriously do know exactly what you mean @Marty69 and your kind and thoughtful reminder is very much appreciated 👍

  Many thanks for your kind words and I’ve just completed tonights lick, although I’m struggling to learn how to play along to the backing track. I don’t mean this actual lick or backing track, I mean any lick and backing track, I can’t as yet work out how to mix the two together. I think I’ll post this is the forum because its a big part of guitar playing and I’d love to learn how to. But thanks once again for your words, much appreciated 👍

  Thanks @ted_h it’s been to long away, but practicing here every night will soon have me back on track. Actually I seem to be learning loads over the past few nights, the Daily Challenge is such a priceless tool and what ever we play each night is such a massive hand, wrist and finger exercise that will help in what ever we decide to pursue in this fantastic hobby. I hope you’re learning well and achieving everything that you set your goals on 😀
