Congratulations, !
Challenge complete
Come back tomorrow for your next challenge
Having trouble trying to stretch my fingers to cover the strings without hitting the strings above and below
having trouble getting the righ position with my fingers. Doesn’t sound good. Stretching to that 5th fret is a challenge.
Find myself feeling like I’m slow and only getting about half lessons, but have had some small victories. Onward and upward.
I started off strong but finished the 30 day challenge in two weeks utilizing the lessons incorrectly but I have go back and played every day since joining. i am still feeling a bit lost but am picking up some stuff. I will keep trying!!!
Hello everybody. Great to be here.
I’m feeling lost right out of the gate, but keeping a positive attitude
Just started the first lesson. I am trying power cord but my ring does not even reach the fifth fret. Any suggestions?
Yikes! My fingers don’t stretch that far. Am I doomed?
Just starting, a few days after purchasing but I’m here now!
okay I have stalled out already. Starting again ….
Me too.
working on finger picking , really hard
Very difficult to spread the fingers and make the cords clean, but I know it will improve. ” Looking forward to that”
Didnt finish
This course is a bit much for a beginner
I am like others with small hands and making them spread, unlike those with 8 inch long fingers! But still wanting to stick with this program (pain on finger tips and all) knowing things will get better with playing every day no matter how it sounds. Stay with me members and Tony I glad you have such patients. Much appreciated.
30 days to play cmplete,what is next?
Hi Michael, For help and guidance with this, please visit our TAC Support Dept. support@tonypolecastro.com They will be happy to assist you.
30 days completed.
So far, I haven’t broken anything.
Having trouble reaching the fifth fret with the ring finger, yeah, small hands.
Whoa! my fingers already hurt. No pain , no gain!
Uber beginning guitar player and already struggling with the fingering of this first lesson. I have zero callousing so more than a couple of minutes begins to get painful, but more importantly is my ability to get my fingers on the first and string strings, as my fingers don’t spread that wide. Any suggestions to address these issues as I really want to learn how to play and don’t want this to be an obstacle.
yeah that was brutal,
Felt better but still not feeling like I mastered it.
Working through the 30 challenge but finding I’m spending < than 10 minutes trying to perfect the lessons.
Ok so far so good. Following along and I’m excited.
where is the smoke on the water video?
Completed, starting in on mid week, some how I need to get in sync for Mondays.
Well, here we go, lesson 1, done1
We have lift-off, first lesson complete!
1st Lesson done!
I have put this on my phone as I don’t have my email on the laptop, how can I put it on there ?
Hi Nigel – For help with this, please reach out to TAC Support: support@tonypolecastro.com They will be happy to assist you.
I’m in!!
So….my fingers won’t stretch like that. I can get my index finger on third fret, buuuuuttt…I cannot get my ring finger on the fifth fret…can I use my pinky???
Day 1 done
That was fun! I’d been playing power chords w/3 strings for years, but this way is Muuch better!
Invested in this guitar when I started your course and it seems to help because the strings are spread out a little bit more than a regular neck and it gives me more room to hit the individual strings without messing up, but I love your course so far :
Taylor 412ce-R = 400 Series / Grand Concert / 14-fret cutaway / rosewood & spruce / V-Class.
I paid for one year of lessons but now I cannot access the courses!? I need help. Who do I contact?
Hi Richard, Please reach out to TAC Support here: Email: support@tonypolecastro.com They will be happy to assist you.
ok good start Tony, Thanks
next course
i have short fingers
Thanks Tony. I have been playing for 42 years and I am in a rut playing the same songs. I need some different chord transitions than the ones I have leaned on for so long.
That was so bad for me?
Yikes… got a good start but more to learn
Ok so far!
Smoke on the water from the get go! Nice!
Great start!
