The 5 day blues was a good course. You could always take a picture of the sheet music and have it on your IPhone? That way when you want to practice, it’s right there for you.

good improv there @bugmeist. Nice sound.

You know @Skyman, you are correct. Sometimes Tony comes up with something and I think….. What? are you kidding? But now I can understand what he is doing and pushing us to do. Learning those pull offs and hammer ons make a big difference too. Good to hear your thoughts. Just keep picking 😉

SOUNDS GREAT!! You are doing it correctly. Yep, use the 10 minute start up and as warm up and keep on strumming (or picking). Before long you’ll be posting songs that you made up yourself 😉

I hear you @Todd_S , this was a totally awesome challenge that I would not have been able to do last year.

I’m going to have to rehash what has already been said. Take your time and try not to get frustrated.

I’m sorry @newbybrian , I’m of no help here. Could you add which video in the 30 days to play section where Tony mentions this?
-
OMG! @Bill_Brown great job. I watched it a couple of times. Love the ending when you really started to improvise!

Very good job on your improv @jonathandavid.

Hi @Munson7of9 , If you have short fingers you might want to invest in a smaller guitar. I’m attaching a link for the 10 best guitars for short fingers. https://reddiamondaudio.net/10-best-guitars-for-short-fingers/
Don’t let the words, suitable for a kid put you off. I have a couple smaller guitars that I use a lot. My 1/2 size Cordoba is a typical kids guitar but I use it the most out of my 5 guitars. It’s also the cheapest guitar with nylon strings, so easier on my fingers. Go to the guitar store and start trying out guitars. Good luck and I hope you like the article I sent. -
Hi @DGriff , Your fingers have to get used to being stretched out to be able to hold some of those chord / note switches. It takes time. Do the stretching and keep practicing, your fingers will be able to do in in time. Listen to @Loraine on the tendinitis and tennis elbow, she mentioned that to me just the other day, something I never thought about. Don’t give up, you’ll get it with time.

@MikeGaurnier , I am going to start working on the daily challenges a little more on the weekend. Just playing though monday – friday challenges. Maybe I can put some type of sound arrangement together. That is what Tony did on the last day of the 5 days of daily routine challenges (i think that is what it was called). Wish me luck .

I really liked that resonator you were playing. I’m toying with the idea of getting one.

Thanks @TMutter The song is a classic.
I love using a thumb pick. Saves my thumb nail and my thumb. I just started using a regular pick for strum songs. I had a hard time getting used to flat pick. But, now….. I always have both type picks in my jeans pocket. 🙂

ha ha ha @KevinZ , I have to admit I did see the background and wondered where you were at. I thought maybe you were using a sewing room or something.
