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.

You are doing a great job @Brian2501. I can’t sound out a song to save my soul. I will have to practice doing that a little more than just learning how to play a song.

HOOT HOOT @BethL looks like you are going strong. Congrats on the gig!! Fantastic!

Looks like a big win to me @Timbothirroul ! Thanks for sharing.

I see newer ones every so often (or at least new to me). I’m ok with that. In fact this is my 2nd year and I’m trying to pay a little more attention to what the daily challenges are really trying to teach me. I hope that’s a sign i’m getting better.

Excellent job there @KevinZ , you got the blues with this one. 🙂

Thanks @stevieblues ,It was a song I could play when I was in my 20s. Then I quit playing for some 40 years and figured I would remember something when I bought a guitar. I really was surprised how much I forgot, It was as if my mind turned to mush. I found the finger pick tab on a website and I was determined I was going to play that dang song again if it killed me. I sat for hours playing it over again and again till I could do it in my sleep. 😉

@David_Leo. Thank you, I would be looking at a new guitar but I just bought the one I’m playing. It’s a Taylor 812ce. Love it. So glad I traded in my huge Martin to get it.

Thank you @Bill_Brown . I am going to try to post one a month.

Thanks @Jonathandavid , it was really hard for me to sit down and record myself. But, it’s one step toward taking guitar playing seriously.

@Duane58 It’s actually pretty easy once you get into the habit. I don’t think 10 minutes a day will do it. 10 minutes only gets you started, then even if you are just on the couch playing with riffs. Or adding to Tony’s daily challenges you are still working those muscles. Have you taken Fretboard wizard yet? That’s an eye opener. I haven’t master it at all, but each time I watch it I’ll remember a little more. Good Luck.
