first off @Al.E, losing 85lbs is much more than a small win! Sounds like you are doing great with what you have done in the past 2 years and now.. onward to our 3rd year.

I agree with @Loraine. Take it easy and talk to your doctor about stretches. I am sure you hated taking that much time off. Have you ever considered slide guitar? The kind where you place the guitar on your lap and use a slide to find the notes?

Well, @Timbothirroul …. I can’t wait to hear the song you will be coming up with to go along with that tempo.

HA HA HA…… Tin Can Blues! LOVE IT!

@Mrfredsporty , welcome to TAC. I never used a pick till joining TAC. I still like to finger pick, but I have found a pick is really nice to have. I have learned to actually strum a song which I never thought I would be able to do without it twanging super loud. You’ll get the hang of it. Just give it a little time.

@GordonS , the capo is your friend.

WOW! 275 days, that is great. I can’t make it too 100. I was all the way up to 76 and i missed a day i can’t believe it. For you to go that long is fantastic. Good for you. Keep it going.

WOW , that is a lot to get done for a ‘small’ win. The Acoustic Tuesday did make me start thinking about playing around with a slide guitar. Thank you for your post. I’ll look into the Skill Course that is offered on the site.

The ideal range (from what I have read) is 45 – 55%, but 40 – 60% is ok too. I’m going to assume you have a hard shell case. They are excellent protection against humidity and temperatures. So on those days that a storm comes through and you don’t have power for a few days, pop your guitar back in it’s case. I would recommend a humidity meter for the room you keep your guitar in. They are pretty cheap, right around $15. You’ll probably be fine because your air conditioner will take care of a lot of the humidity for you. But, with a gage, you’ll know for sure. I’m a Michigan girl and I fight with the humidity dropping into the 10% in the winter time. I run a humidifier to help. You have the opposite problem. Good luck and enjoy that guitar.

@SciencePete , I anchor my pinky on the thinnest string. I don’t know if that is a bad habit or not. Because sometimes I have to un anchor it to play that string. I usually do ok with it, but for a moment my picking fingers all freak out. Your idea of anchoring to the sound boards makes more sense. Good Luck.

Good for you! I have made it to 99 consecutive days in a row and then….? I don’t know what happened. I’m trying again to hit the 100 day mark. Congratulations to you on the 100 day mark!

Doing the daily challenges everyday is good but I can understand your confusion on where to go next. I would recommend the 5-day routine challenge. It explains what the daily challenges are actually for. We are not to mention other sites on the forum, sooooo……… that said. If you go to my profile page, in the ‘About Me’ section, I have listed a few sites I use for searching out songs. Good Luck. Hope I have been some help.
