Off Schedule
Hi Everyone,
I just started Tac I guess about a month ago but I’m really falling behind because anytime I do anything physical outside the house I have a lot of back pain a lot I knee pain. And sometimes I have to take pain medication or take gummies to help with the pain and then I just feel stupid. Sunday night into Monday morning I didn’t even go to sleep and I felt like s*** all day and I fell asleep wasted a whole day. I just get so frustrated that I got four guitars and I don’t know how I to play one of them or I don’t I don’t stick with it I haven’t been able to stay on schedule. Right now I’m laying in bed it’s 9:48 at night I’ve been working on the Baseline shuffle for like 3 weeks now because I can never get anything done consistently all week long. I Won’t Say I’m discouraged but I get frustrated when I can’t and I don’t feel like practicing because of my pain. Does anybody else have this problem?

There is a lot to discuss here.
First, sorry you are experiencing these difficulties. Sometimes life gets in the way. You need to listen to your body and do what you need to do to stay healthy.
Guitar is a journey, sometimes you will be able to consistently practice, sometimes you won’t. Don’t let it get you down. The key is to be somewhat consistent. Just picking up the guitar for 10 mins a day, or every other day, or whatever it is, is going to get you further than if you never picked it up. Every little bit helps.
The secret to TAC is to try your best at an exercise for at least 10 mins. Some you will play pretty good at that the end of the 10mins. Some you will struggle to get through the first measure. Both are OK. Some of the exercises are hard, but they will come back around and the next time you will get a little further. The motto is progress over perfection.
So don’t spend 3 weeks on an exercise trying to perfect it. Try it for 10 mins and then move on to the next. Try to find 10 mins a day to pick up the guitar. Perhaps before going outside and hurting your back. Having a tiny habit and small commitment works,
