@nwforehand59gmail-com . I would recommend the ‘5 Day Guitar Routine Challenge’. It’s an intro to the daily challenges. Gives an understanding of what the weekly challenges are all about. Then get into the daily challenges (if you aren’t all ready). It all about picking up your guitar everyday and making it a habit. Good luck

@teriv2 , I would guess it’s just what is comfortable for you. For myself, I get better volume if i use a pick. Also I can play flat-picking a lot faster than I could do with just my thumb and fingers. It good to learn both ways, than you can make your own comparison.

Congrats @WAMGOC , Great to hear you were able to do the challenge. You should always give them a try.

@bsevett Thanks for the question. I didn’t know what they meant either.,

@dbersigyahoo-com , With the daily challenges, just get your 10 minutes in. Its all about showing up. I would recommend the ‘5 days Guitar Routine Challenge’. It will give you a better understanding of what the challenges are all about. Just get into the habit of showing up. You don’t have to be perfect at the challenges, do your best. They come around again and you’ll be how much better you are when they do. good luck.

@JoeyKaye, go to the pull down arrow, at your profile name (where your picture is on the right hand side). Select the pull down and select Members. From here you can search for people. Put in your state to start off, then start narrowing it down by city. I wish we could search by county, but alas you can not. Have fun.

@dwgaudetgmail-com Have you done any of the skills levels yet? I would recommend the ‘5Day Guitar Routine Challenge’. It will explain the challenges and how to use them to enhance your guitar journey. @mcarlson_sb is right there is also http:tacsongs.com Lots of stuff to start you on your way. Good luck and have fun.

Sounding good @BethL . I like the strumming pattern you are using. The ending was a bit short thou 🙂
-
one day at a time. Sounds like you are having a good time with it too.
-
Your strumming is really coming along! Also, I want to add the range on your vocals are better. Very good job. Yes, good idea to simplify the strumming, sometimes that is a big help. I do that myself. All in all…. A good post 🙂

@David_Leo ,I use an ‘AirCare mini’. It’s the same kind my guitar store has in their store. The brand doesn’t matter thou, get for the room size. I prefer a mist free, with an antibacterial filter. Right now, my guitars are scattered around the house so I don’t have a designated Guitar Room to put them in now. I’m a Michigander myself and it’s tough to fight the ups and downs of the humidity here. One week it’s in the 50s then drops to 10. I tend to think @GerryB56 has the best idea of the units that set inside your guitar and keeping them in the case. Even just keeping them in the case is better than nothing. Good luck.

@Irish_ayes , @N-lightMike , @mcarlson_sb , @SoCal_Ian I DID IT!!! I couldn’t find an app but I found a way to make my own icon for Tony’s Acoustic Challenge on the homepage of an IPhone. It was actually @mcarlson_sb comment that made me think that we should be able to put a icon on our home screen. So here it is. Have fun, now there is no excuse to miss a day 🙂
1) On your IPhone, open your Safari browser and go to http://www.tonypolecastro.com.
2) Tap the share icon in the browser (that’s the box with an arrow coming out of it)
3) Select the option “Add to Home Screen”.
4) And an icon popped on my screen with a guitar pick in the center of it.Good luck with this everyone. I’m geeked for the day. Thank you @Irish_ayes for posting this question.

@Mrfredsporty , YES!! I was just thinking the same thing just the other day. I have memorized some songs that are kind of on the hard side. Then I have a song I really want to learn and I can remember the chords to it or the finger style to it. I have to keep pulling out the song sheet. I do want to thank you for mentioning Jin-Sung Lee. I just went on the site myself. How nice that he adds the tabs.

The pick guard does look like a pick guard. I never noticed that before

@David_Leo The mid range is fine (F2), really no noise at all. Once you set it on F3, it’s a little too noisy. it’s a little bigger than I thought it would be. But I am really happy with it. I like the idea of a filter too. Also you can use an anti bacterial solution if you like. Right now….. I fill it up on average twice a day. And it holds a lot of water. Easy to use. I think you’ll like it.
