@kurtv and @jumpinjeff , I am surprised that Tony doesn’t have a search in the challenges. Sorry @kurtv, i am no help in this venture.

@GerryB56 , Yes, oh course you need more guitars. A resonator or a slide guitar might be a nice addition to your family of guitars. You can always trade up from what you have too. I use guitar-center site to get an idea of what is out there (also they have a 45 day guarantee). So you could buy and try out and return. 🙂

@Streak, you are doing a great job. I am just trying to break my old record of 99. I’m at 67 now and so afraid i’m going to miss a day and have to start over.

@Mrfredsporty ! Draining Sinuses! UGH!

@Greg_F_Lee , I wanted to add one more thing. One very important thing! Your guitar may not be able to accommodate heavy gage strings. I just pulled up info on the Washburn guitars and it said all their guitars are shipped with light gauge strings, except for the travel guitar it’s shipped with extra lights. It’s just something to keep in mind, the extra tension in heavy strings could cause damage.

@Alphajim5 Great job. Making your fingers pick the right notes and quickly is key 😉

@cj2101970gmail-com , I was thinking of quitting TAC after my first year. I had started using another site and they recommended you have a daily routine that used fingering / strumming exercises so I stayed with TAC. The routine keeps me accountable. Tells me everyday when I log on how long I’ve been here and If i finish the daily challenges. Keeps me going with this journey a finger strum at a time.

I have only changed the strings on one of my guitars and that is only because I had to make a repair to it (bridge pulled up). I only have been using light strings on my guitars and I let them go dead before I change them.

@GerryB56 , Glad you are finding TAC useful. You’ll only get better the longer you stay. 🙂

@Mrfredsporty , Glad to hear that you find the group helpful. Sometimes I get very frustrated with some of the lessons and I have to take a break (just took this week off). But, I always log on to open up the forum and see if I can help someone or they help me. Oh…. and by the way I always play my guitar everyday. Right now, I stepped into the ‘songvault’ and found some really great songs to learn 🙂

@andysmith22gmail-com , take it one string at a time. I downloaded an free app for the IPhone called insTuner. Copy and Paste into your browser to take a look at it, https://apps.apple.com/us/app/instuner-free-chromatic-tuner/id603425027
I also have a tuner that clips to the guitar. I like the clip on so I can daily fine tune. But, the IPhone app takes me around the clock so when I start with fresh strings I can visually see where I am. Give it a try, if you can’t do it, then take it in. -
@WAMGOC , Glad to see you have in a year. I hope the year has been very productive for you. I’m sure that it has. I’m guessing you are going to go onto a 2nd year?

@albert_d , I forgot about the song vault. Here it is @OhWowMan , http://tacsongs.com/ . When you open it up there is a Fingerpicking side and a Flatpicking side. Select the icon for flatpicking. The songs come in Starter, Easy, Medium and Hard. I was a little surprised when I opened up the ‘starter’s thou. I thought they were a little advanced than I thought they would be. But, you be the judge of that. If you have any problems finding the tabs, post again and someone will tell you how to get them.

Maybe…… as we age, that’s why we get hard of hearing? ha ha ha….. just teasing you @Mrfredsporty. looking forward to your post.

@Greg_F_Lee , thank you for your reply! I almost didn’t post because I thought i’d get a lot of criticism on this one.
