From zero to….?

That’s it; learn, play, post. Way to go! This one’s a bit tricky; especially for someone newer to guitar. I hadn’t seen you post before, so clicked on your profile. I am so sorry to hear about your dad. I have been there also; though quite a bit older than you; and it does hit us hard. Enjoy music; enjoy the journey of playing; and just go forward at your own pace and way. Welcome to TAC! Keep yourself well.

Thanks, it was really tricky and also fun. I think it was probably my favorite from the week. I just discovered some other courses beyond the 30 day and five day so I am starting some of those.

Yes, the skill courses offer quite a bit. Whenever you start the Daily Challenge part; which works on the same essential skills every week, Monday through Friday, but with different material; it will seem overwhelming (at least it did to me). Step in, put in your time, do the best you can; and move on, day to day, then week to week. Perseverance, not perfection. I had weeks I didn’t really understand much. It is the daily consistency that, even though it seems to add up slowly, that eventually builds up the guitar skills. Keep it fun; don’t compare; and just enjoy.

It’s awesome that you are recording yourself! It can’t be overstated how important that is for your growth. I try to make sure I record myself at least once per month, and several times during bench mark weeks. Those reference points are huge because it’s hard to notice growth just by memory.

Thanks for sharing! You are doing great!

Awesome job! I knew the song immediately. It sounds beautiful on that guitar. Keep at it, and you’ll have it down in no time!
