Congratulations, !
Challenge complete
Come back tomorrow for your next challenge

It took several rewinds but i’m finally getting smoke oin the water. my method is to keep moving ahead the coming back to the beginning and starting the lessons over
I’ve been playing the guitar every day and I feel ok but I’m having a hard time finding the next lesson.
Great course easy to follow
My fingers having trouble spanning the distance. Also having trouble with phone kicking out of link and trying to find my place again. In fact I jumped to offshore bank account and spent 25 min trying to follow along thinking that was advanced for beginners. Then got instruction to go back to 30 day. With much relief I did and about to push complete hoping to find my way back tomorrow for day two without problems. Trusting the process Tony.
Smoke on the Water… Awesome. Love it
I am finally looking forward to pick up my guitar and hove fun with it.
Honestly I’m not sure guitar playing is mentally for me. The course just keeps moving on and I’m still struggling to make the simplest cords without flattening other strings.
I can’t get my ring finger to span from say fret 3 with my index finger and 5 with my ring finger. Any ideas?
My fingers don’t reach
Still head down ands skating with determination but I feel I’m light years away from picking two strings to make it sound like Tony does!
That ring finger stretch is difficult
“Smoke on the Water” power chord form!
Just got an acoustic guitar today. Look forward to playing!
I Find that it’s getting easier every day. It is a long process to get the brain to get use to it . Remember that your brain assimilates new things While you sleep. You will do better every day
This is definitely working for me, although some social events are hindering my progress. I can’t fault the system.
My fingers don’t stretch that far! I assume it gets better with practice
Frustration is setting in again. I did the 30 days to play and the 5 day routine, I’m assuming the next lessons are the Daily Challenges. I am in no way ready for that. Did I miss something?
Hi! For help and guidance with this, please Email TAC Support: support@tonypolecastro.com They will be happy to help.
I just finished Day 4 and was attempting to find the 5 Day Finger Stretch Challenge. Can’t find it. Where do I go to find it? Thanks.
April 1st– Good day to start this challenge! 🙂
I’m coming along slowly. I have hope to finish the in 30 days as a guitar player!
It’s been fun!
Highly recommended!
The 1st month was basically a refresher and a great way to get me to play EVERY DAY.
These 4 weeks have been the best learning for me. The G chord is still had for me as well as switching between chords. Still have to look at the fret board. The best part is l’m hooked on this method, l also like l can always go back to any lessons to practice. Thanks.
Start, small ,Repeat often, and soon the effort fades leaving only ability.
I really enjoyed this course. Still working on my chord shapes and speed, but this has got me farther along than anything in the past.
how do i get this banner / course off my page – i finished it 3 weeks ago
Done. Moving on!!
1st try I feel awful but fine I’ll try my best to play 10 min. a day
40 year “beginner” here. I had the basic gist of “Smoke
On the Water” in about 5 minutes. No issues with tuning.
I usually tune with harmonics after I get the low string in tune.
I have the same question about the stretch of my hand. I can barely do it.
Why can’t I see the answers to the other people who have asks this same question?
It took me a bit longer than 30 days to get through the first 30 days.
THIS is really good stuff – give you something “interesting” to practice every day / every week.
Took me more than 30 days. I will try to complete the 5 day challenge in 5 days.
I’m enjoying this,look forward to these lessons every morning, very motivated.
Hoping this the key to my becoming more consistent
I just can’t seem to get my fingers to stretch out that far. It is challenging, but I am going to keep practicing and do some stretching exercises.
I would rather have an app. I can’t download everything. I live in an rv.
Like most things which feel uncomfortable at first, I expect left wrist and fingers will improve with repitition and exercise.
Any wrist and finger stretching exercises you can recommend?
I’m bad with computers
I’m having trouble with my ring finger position. Doesn’t come easy. It’s always been a limitation for me with small hands but maybe it’s my hand positioning.
done
First week in the books! Feelin’ good.
Excited and committed
Sorry for my ignorance, do you do all 30 days first, then do the daily challenges or one of each
Good afternoon – I went to go on this lesson and my D string broke. Ugh. I called a guitar center near me and they will not replace just the one string. they will have to replace all 6. I am dropping off tonight and will get the guitar back in a few days. Needless to say I will be delayed in my lessons, but see this as only a glitch. I am committed to learning and will not let this delay discourage me. thank you
Great introduction, thanks!
I’m motivated!
Reaching this far even at this easy one hurts my wrist…Am I holding it wrong?
How do you get your fingers to stretch
lots of fun
Good review.
