Congrats on the new guitar! Love that you had such a good experience at the guitar store too.

Came out great! Both on singing and strumming.

@Todd_S , the Ultimate Warrior was a pretty good challenge. More like a mini song. Got some practice with finger picking. Good job on your “small wins”

I understand @SteveinCT what you are saying but I don’t think the site is actually going for “learning a song” type site. It’s more of getting you motivated to try to do something on your own. Learn different methods. I never knew “Open D” tuning before. Now I can google a song using Open D and practice myself. Have you taken the “fretboard wizard” yet? If not, that is a VERY good course to take. It will give you the backbone of what makes a chord, makes a song, figure out a song, etc. I struggled through it, but in the end. I now understand music theory a little. I was clueless before. I can sit down and figure out a jingle off tv now. Figuring out Soft Kitty and applying my own riffs to it was a big step for me. There are some things I wish they wouldn’t have taken away but that’s the way goes. Your with us for the year, use the forums and see if anyone is starting up their own virtual mic you can join in on. Have some fun, even if it’s only for a year. 😀

Sorry to hear of your tendonitis. That is a tough one. Glad you mentioned the “Slide Guitar 101 course” is in Open G. I was just getting ready to tune one of my guitar back to a standard tuning. I think i will look at that course before I do it. Thanks and good luck

I made sure I never missed a day. Callus will build up on your fingers, don’t worry about that. I picked up an inexpensive 3/4 size Classical guitar (with nylon strings) and I could play for a LOT longer. It saved me 😉

Just sitting down and playing a little bit each day is a big help. Glad you are already seeing progress. You should record yourself playing something now and then compare in a month or so. 😉

I learned a lot from the Fretboard Wizard. I got midway and I had to ask help from the community. So…… get stumped? ask for help. It will all come together. I’m going to redo it myself. There is a lot of information in the course.

Your guitar playing came out great and your voice is great.

Congrats on joining us. Once you make the “daily challenge” a habit, it will get easier and easier.

No @SteveinCT you should be able to find the all the alternative tunings on this site. There is a search icon on the upper right side of the courses page. Type in what you are looking for and the course should come up. Also look at the course called “Alternate Tuning” I haven’t done the course, but I did skim over one of the videos. It looks like it should help you out.

@Loraine , THANKS LORAINE!!
-
@MikeGaurnier I agree with you. Well put too.,
-
@Loraine , I totally agree with you. I liked doing all those lessons that lead me into a full song. I can’t believe members would have asked the admin to remove the song vault. That doesn’t even make any sense.

Not a problem, i’m getting pretty good at tuning my guitar back and forth. 🙂
