One of the TAC members shared these two resources a few weeks ago. One is an outline of the stretches and the other provides a “pictochart”!of the stretches. I use the latter to stretch and warm up every day before I play.
A shout out and thank you for the TAC members that created and shared these resources!

Great wins @bugmeist and @the-old-coach !

Loved your improv @charlie_d ! Lots of sliding double stops and great intention of the pull off scale with drone. Great job!

@BeachGuy , the old coach is right. One way to access a prior challenge that has been “archived”‘that you didn’t favorite is to another TAC member’s profile and see what challenges they have favorited. For instance so have been favoriting every challenge for few months now. You should be able to find the challenge from last week you are seeking in my list of favorites. Note: The favorited challenges don not seem to be in date or alphabetical order. Nor sure what order is being used. Note 2: you are able to filter the favorites by type (technique, lick, improv, rhythm, transition) which should help your search.
Hope this is helpful.

Hi @Bill_Brown and thanks for your feedback and encouragement. It is very much appreciated!
Until Tony featured Jeffery Foucault in one of the recent Acoustic Tuesday shows I had not previously heard of him. I downloaded a random album of his (Blood Brothers) and Dishes was the first song on the album. The whole album is very good as are JF’s other albums. He is a great singer songwriter. Very talented.

Another great song by the SWR @Fletch I am not animist with the nursery rhyme however I do have a daughter and I found the song very touching. Well done!

Great performance @Marissa ! If the house allows it, turn up the volume on your vocals if possible. Your guitar is cutting through the din loud and clear however your vocals (which by the way were great) are getting a bit smothered.

Hey @escarpato Joe and Phil have answered your questions well. I wanted to share my recent experience in having a guitar set up. It is a Taylor 410CE I have owned and played since 1997. I had played it the way it was set up when I purchased the guitar since that time. Recently I noticed one of the second fret had some “overhang” (sticking out beyond the neck) and was cutting my thumb (I tend to wrap my thumb around the top of the neck). I located a luthier in my area that had great reviews and took my guitar in and pointed out the problem and asked them to please do a set up and if possible to lower the action on the strings (decrease the space between the strings and the fretboard). I picked it up last week and was amazed at the difference the set up made. The guitar sounds much better and with the lower action doesn’t require as much fretting pressure – which results in easier barre chords. The cost of the set up plus new strings was $140 (I live in North Central Ohio). It is worth every penny IMO.
As Joe and Phil have pointed out, finding a luthier you can trust and with who you can develop a clear understanding of the desired outcome is the key to a successful guitar set up job.
