Once these are complete, you’re ready to dive into the TAC daily guitar challenges! Use Your Next Six Chords when you get curious about adding the most common chords to your arsenal.

Daily Stretch For Guitar

One of the best things that you can do right now to make guitar playing pain free, prevent injury, and even play faster is to stretch. It can be difficult to try and figure out what stretches will work best for you as a guitar geek though, which is why this course will walk you through a step by step stretching process that you can use day in and day out to work your way towards pain-free and limber guitar geek muscles. Quick disclaimer: Although these stretches were shown to me by a medical professional, I am not one, so please consult your physician before trying these. With that out of the way, enjoy these stretches and may you reap all of the benefits that they will bestow on your guitar playing.
