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.

@Loraine you are so funny. I got a good laugh with your answer. But, seriously, I understand the issues that can happen from playing too much. But, as of right now, I just would rather play and learn than just sit back because I’m afraid of a medical issue (glad you mentioned tennis elbow and tendinitis thou). I know I have some issues with my fretting arm so I’ll watch out and I warm up. But, the issues were with me before I picked up the guitar.
I was using a site called Jerrysguitarbar before joining TAC (I still use it). They have a lot of free songs. If you go to My Profile page, then the “About Me” section. I have listed sites that I use. If I find a song I like, I print it and have the music sheet in a loose leaf folder. I have a heck of a time with strumming. So I usually look for a song that is finger picked. Strumming only looks easy, but, its hard for me.
I want to be an inspiration to my grandchild and great grandchildren and maybe the kids across the street. You know, I want them to think…. If that gray haired granny can do it, I can 😉

Thanks @KevinZ . It just takes time and patience. 🙂

Thank you very much. This is actually my warm up song. Gets the fingers moving 🙂
