It really isn’t necessary to do all the challenges for the month. To me it’s just a goal to get yourself started for the day. Like others have said they will come back around.

Since I don’t know what shoulder surgery requires in rest….. would it be possible to play around with using a slide? I know I saw a slide course in the skill section.

Great Job! The entire song was great and loved the harmonica! I don’t know if I could concentrate on strumming the guitar and playing the harmonica. Again, a great job.

Hi @Sofshu , I like Victoria’s answer on the IT level. Your an Engineer, well I am a Auto Designer by trade and obsessed with tracking time. Tracking comes with the job.
I use an excel chart and track what I play everyday. It keeps me accountable. If I miss a day, I color that day red so it’s in my face that I missed. You have your IPhone on you most of the time so it’s easy to start that stopwatch to see how long you actually are playing instead of guessing. Good luck.

Tony has a skill called “Better Barre Chords”. It might help you out. I know I used to be afraid I was going to snap the neck off my guitar I’d be holding it so hard. 🙂

I have 4 guitars. 2 are very inexpensive (one $56, one free). But, I can keep one of them on a stand in my front room where I watch tv. It easy to pick up to try to solo a little jingle. Or….. look that little jingle up on the internet so I can play it. Easy access is key when you have an active life. Good luck.

Great job with this song. I’m going to pull this song up for myself. I didn’t hear any mistakes, i’m sure no one else did either.

Having a guitar out where it’s easy to pick up is really helping me out a lot.

It just takes time. Don’t get discouraged.

I go in the basement when my husband is sleeping and play quietly. He has a home office so he is holed up in there most of the day. 🙂

Thanks @stevieblues , I actually don’t have any reason not to sit down and play. I have moved a guitar into my art studio, basement, and living room. So if i see one…. PICK IT UP!!! thanks again. Good luck to you also

Thanks @Marty69 , It just seems like this journey is taking a rough road at times. 🙂

@albert_d , it just gets maddening because it doesn’t take much to just sit and do some scales for a few. If I was on a trip somewhere, or super busy, but I’m not. Just lazy. But, I’m back! So it’s one day at a time. Thanks for the support.

[Cadgirl]

I just have to start buckling down. I think i’m getting to a point where I think I should be better, so I just get discouraged. you know…… If it was easy, everyone would be a guitar player!

[Cadgirl]

Thanks, I really don’t know what happened to me. I would log on, then, just not do anything! I’m back! I got in an hour of playing yesterday and I’m going to really give it my all to start playing more (at least the daily challenge). My plan is to record songs and store them and use as a base line. thanks again.
