I was on the JMG site and I really think I’m going to like it. I’ll go on again today to look around. As for Tony’s site, it is still a benefit. He gives us little chunks and we can do what you want with them. We can use it as a challenge or use it as a little riff for a song. I think he wants us all to become our own guitar hero. Thanks for your input.

Thanks everyone for all the encouragement. I’m pretty sure I’ll be staying for another year. I know I would miss all the posts.

Thanks for the info @Loraine , strumming seems like it would be easy, but it’s not. I’ll try to follow the strumming order of….. up, up, up, down up and it’s like “what” in my brain.
Good luck @Terry B and see you in the strumming course 😉

I call them done when I get 10 minutes in. This weeks challenges have been very intense so you do have a congratulations coming. 🙂

[Cadgirl]

Well, it’s nice to hear that I’m not the only one that can’t figure out how to use the backing track correctly. I guess misery loves company. I feel a lot better now.

I was looking up the Larivee guitars after Tony’s Tuesday broadcast myself. Yours looks great, I’m sure you are happy with it. Just make sure it’s in a safe place it doesn’t get knocked over or something. Again congratulations on your new guitar.

Thank you, love the new guitar. I should have taken the Martin back after the first week but I didn’t want to admit defeat (like @Loraine said). It had a lot of sound to it, but I finally had to admit it was too big for me. I’m not a heavy handed player and I finger pick mostly. So it was the wrong guitar for me. Besides, if I want it louder I’ll buy an amp. 🙂

Thanks, it really is a nice guitar. It cost a little more than I wanted to pay but it was well worth it. For a smaller guitar it has a lot of sound to it. So easy to play. It’s so beautiful. Now, I need a Taylor T-Shirt. 🙂

It’s was a tough decision. I had my Martin for close to a year and it was a killer to play. I really hated to trade it and lose money on it, but I think I made the right choice. One day I’ll get the courage up to play something on a VOM.

[Cadgirl]

I just don’t understand how it can possibly be so hard to strum. The pick will get caught on a string or something else bad happens. ha ha ha….. we will get this. If it was easy everyone would be doing it.

[Cadgirl]

Yes, it is. I do look forward to the community posts. 🙂

[Cadgirl]

Hey @polarpeak75 , thanks for the post. I also have issues strumming. I’ll look this course up.

[Cadgirl]

WOW! You are a busy girl. The last few months i was just logging onto the TAC site and go to the forums and skip the daily challenges. As silly as some of those challenges are, they are good structure. I have learn so much about capo, metronomes, sound petals, etc from this site, besides playing the guitar from the forum. Also the “play for me” is a big help because it’s just everyday folks playing a song. I really have been putting a lot of thought into it and I think i’ll stay. The year cost isn’t all that much and I know I would miss it. I would love to learn Classical guitar, good for you.

[Cadgirl]

I’m thinking along the same lines. I would never had gotten as far as I am right now without the program. So why stop it now. I really like reading the comments and listening to the ‘play for us’. thanks for your input.

@Loraine ,I would miss your posts too. I look forward to your comments. I just jotted down the 2 sites. The more I think about , i think i’ll give it another year. It does keep me on track. I checked my profile and i have till the 3rd weed of February to make a decision.
