@Desmoteque ,Take things at your own pace. Everyone is at a different skill level. @Loraine explained it as good as it is. You’ll progress, and when you go back it will be easier. I also agree with @OhWowMan with suggesting ‘5 Day Guitar Routine Challenge’ afterwards. With the 5-day challenge I started on Monday and did it along side the daily challenge on Monday, Then the 2^nd day on Tuesday, etc. That way it follows the course. It made a big difference in how I looked at the daily challenges. There was a big revamping of the site last year. A lot of things changed, but what I saw as good, was being able to find courses and skills a LOT easier. Good luck and ask the TAC community when you hit a road block or just want to post that ‘you got this’.

Happy TACiversary @johnny67 , You sound like you have some good goals for the next year. Playing in front of people is hard on everyone. But, once you do it , it will get easier.

@riccsnet , Happy TACiversary!! It sounds like you are staying for another year, which is a good choice in my books.

Good job @Stickmaker, the speed challenges are a test for sure.

@ScottyMac , sounds great! Flying fingers on that fretboard.

[Cadgirl]

It was a pretty good technique. I couldn’t do it fast, but I got er done. Good job to you @Skyman

@AttyTJ , Thanks, I decided to stay. Glad I did too. I’m really going to push myself this year. There are so many skill courses that I should be taking advantage of. I uploaded my 1st song. So April I’ll upload another. 🙂

@MikeGaurnier , I never really understood the daily challenges till I took the 5-day routine challenge (which was just last week). After I sat down with all my papers and started putting things together it was like a light blub went off in my head!! It was like doing a puzzle! I was super geeked and couldn’t put my guitar down till I was completed. Go ahead and start with mine and improve it. But, if you go back to the 5-day Routine Challenge and play the ‘dinner is served’ and listen to what Tony is saying you’ll get it. I can’t wait till Friday to do another one. YES! I got this!

Thanks @MikeGaurnier , I know I have seen a lot of inquires about the Fretboard Wizard. I thought it was great when I took it. Can’t wait to see the new one. Thanks for enlightening us. 😉

@Bill_S , sorry to hear you are having surgery. I can only guess what you will be able to do. I think taking the Slide Guitar could be beneficial. If you could hold the guitar on your lap? What do you think. Has your doctor giving you ideas of what you absolutely can’t do? Tony does have a Slide guitar 101 course. Even the Fretboard Wizard could be doable. It’s a lot of studying and you might be able to use the slide guitar approach in helping you with strings. Hope I was some help.

Thanks @Marisa , I like to finger pick the most. I’m still a lousy strummer. But, this year i’m getting out of my comfort zone and play songs that I normally wouldn’t. And I’m going to start dappling with putting music together. I have to sit down and work on the lick that takes you out of the song. I have the tabs for it, but it doesn’t sound like I remember. I can hear it in my head, now I have to put it on paper. ta ta da da da da da, ta ta ta…. da da da………. 🙂

Thank you @Tom000-18 . I was listening to a video of a kid that recorded his first 6 years at intervals of every 6 months. He said what really helped him get better was when he started posting his music. I must have recorded this song 40 times before I got one that didn’t have a lot of mistakes in it that I would post. Also even thou, i’m not playing in front of anyone. It feels like the uneasiness of having others hear me isn’t as great. Thanks again.

@Cherie , Thank you, the course must be new. Because it wasn’t there when I started TAC. It’s very informative about what Tony is showing us with the Daily Challenges.

[Cadgirl]

you know @Loraine , that is strange that support doesn’t give a date? I wonder if the recordings got lost? Wait? I’m stupid. Of course they aren’t lost. Do you think that Tony might be updating them?

[Cadgirl]

You know @MikGaurnier , I did have fun. I sat down Sunday morning with the Monday – Fridays challenges printed out. Then watched the last day of the 5 day routine challenge to recap how Tony did it. It took awhile, but everything came together. and don’t worry…. I always have fun :). I even posted my results on the small win page.
