I’m having the same issue. I’m on part 2 of week one and it’s my second week. At this rate, it’s more like 90 days to play than 30.

Is this maybe the video you were looking for? – https://tonypolecastro.com/topic/changing-strings/

Hi Carol,

Thank you both for your patience and for the thorough answer about the tuning. I wanted to be sure as when I started the program I thought “Maybe I should replace these strings that have been on here since 1987 before I start trying to learn play” and promptly snapped two Elixir Custom Lights because I was turning the pegs the wrong way 😅

Good to know that it will sound a little off when I do the play through with the video but if I can get the technique, that’s what matters.

Thanks again,

Anne

Hi Carol,

One more dumb question. Is the idea to put the Capo on and then retune so that with the Capo on I have the standard EADGBE tuning?

I appreciate your patience,

Anne

Thank you, Carol!

[AnneD.]

Thanks N-lightMike! I’ll take a look

Hi Carol,

Thanks for the suggestions. Um…what’s a capo?

TIA,

Anne

Thanks @Kitman. Slowing down is great advice. I’ll remind myself of that when I feel like I’m in the right lane on the highway 😆

Thanks, Cadgirl! I appreciate the encouragement. I’ll take a look at the strumming course.🙌

Thanks for the advice, Phil. Fighting my own perfectionism while actually seeing skill progress is a new experience for me.

Also good to know that 30-days-to-play doesn’t mean mastery in 30 days…I think mastery is in another timezone on my guitar journey 😆

And pro-tip on the daily challenges and marking favorites! Thanks again!
