Old TAC Forums
I find my self going back to the old TAC forums since they are still available. I don’t want to bash the new forums but in 10 minutes I learned I learned about strap size and placement, read an interesting post about arm pain, and high frequency noise when playing an A.
The new forums seem to me like a bowl of jelly. I can’t get a handle on it. I miss the Picker’s Lounge with Gear Question, G.A.S., and Gear Swap. I never posted a lot but I learned a ton of information. Maybe it will come in time…………..

BJ Fogg states in his book “Tiny Habits” that motivation is a crucial factor when it comes to making changes. The old forum motivated me to reflect on a lot of guitar related questions. For example:
– just one guitar or more guitars?
– Which size? Which brand? Which sound?
– storage in case or hanging on the wall?
– where are public places ( with few bypassers) to play outside?
(inspired by the Mark Lindemann TRUMPET video)
– what about humidity?
Some answers lead to small changes, which added up and multiplied to big changes. One answer even enabled me to install a rock solid 7-day-a-week guitar practice. The old forum offered me many prompts ( as BJ Fogg would call them) to improve as a guitar player. I guess you and others made similar experiences.
I believe there are other, additional ways to improve as a guitar player than daily pratice and skill courses – allthough these are the most essential for sure. I am gratefull that the old tac forum offered me so much inspiration, prompts and motivation for my guitar journey till now – and hope that tac will expand it´s focus a little bit in that direction again in the future.
But last not least: the new look/optic is great and modern and I really appreciate it. If a new “leaner” forum allowing all kinds of guitar questions would have been included, where topics would be deleted automatically after 30 days – quite simular to the daily challanges at the end of a month now – it would have been perfect for me.

So many TAC members with deft skill in articulating detail. Maybe, just maybe, somebody in “Bozeman Control” is reading and digesting all this.
Today I had two questions that I know (nae, am certain) that they would have been answered by COP on the Pacific Coast.
The first was about Guitar Pro 7: why are some Chords an opaque-grey while others are bold-black ?
The second was about Chords: their formation and naming-convention.
I know, I know, not valid in here; but as Rhett Butler apparently did not say , “Frankly , my dear, I don’t give …….” 🙂

I agree @Ron N. I’m finding I have to wade through tons of messages to get to the messages I’m interested in. With the site pages loading very slowly (like 1990s DSL speeds), it’s mildly irritating.

Na, don’t tell me you don’t remember them @Derrick 🙂

😅 very true! but then we were a lot younger and the time didn’t seem to run out of our hands in the same way as it does now…. (oh i’m going off topic here…)
