Nice! Congratulations and welcome! 😀

Yikes! I bet it doesn’t sound right! I’d be worried about the string breaking with a defect like that. I agree with Loraine. Send a picture to whoever sold you these and demand new strings, or a refund.

I really like the metronome in the tools of the ultimate guitar app. So much easier to use than the old-fashioned metronome I had as a kid when taking music lessons, that was bordering on child abuse 😂 you can set it to different rhythms, and you can make it as quiet as you like

Thanks, @xiao-bai 🙂 That sounds very enlightened and applicable to any aspect of life.

Hi Robert. I hear you. I’ve been here about a month as well, and I enjoy the different techniques I learn on this website. It goes from strumming, to fingerpicking, to flatpicking, throws some theory into it. Keeps me on my toes. But I know what you mean about it not leading somewhere. This site is a great foundation, but it’s not enough. I’ve seen a lot of progress in my technique in the past month, so it’s serving its purpose, but I also need to supplement it with learning music to play.
I suppose that’s what most people on this website do. You see it in the VOMs and “play for us” section; I’ve gotten a lot of inspiration from them. So that’s the TLDR here: find some songs to play that make you happy.
What I did is take a subscription on ultimate guitar tabs (they had a spring sale of $25 for a year, can’t go wrong with that), and I go there and look for songs I can play. Like, daily. I don’t know how advanced you are in your journey, but if you finished the 30 days course, you know CDG, so on their app (or website), you can go to “tools” and then “progressions,” and it will list songs that use only CDG. SO MANY. Find a song you love and have some fun with it!
I also follow GuitarNick on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/guitarnick/posts). It’s just $3. He posts small instrumental arrangements of songs with fingerpicking, a mix of beginner and more advanced.
A month ago, I couldn’t strum, didn’t even know how to hold a pick, barely knew any chords, and everything seemed out of reach. So the combination of Tony’s lessons and just exploring what’s out there works great for me.
I hope you find your mojo back 🙂

Now that’s dedication.

That was cool! I detect a certain theme in your songs 🤣
PS I’m making some progress on the 500 miles song, thanks again for sharing! I’m having so much fun with it.

This made me happy 🙂 Thank you 🙂

That’s great, Loraine! Very consistent strumming and chord changes.
Thank you for posting this! It’s lovely to see a typical guitar player in this forum (not only the semi-professionals). It gives me so much encouragement to see a video I can relate to.

Thank you for your kind words 🙂 I agree the guitar is pretty

Thank you for the inspiration!

@bugmeist Did you try GuitarNick’s stuff? It’s on Patreon, https://www.patreon.com/guitarnick/posts. He has some really nice-sounding stuff for fingerpicking, different levels of difficulty. I love fingerpicking as well.
