I am with @jumpinjeff , @Mrfredsporty you are ALREADY a real guitar player! My bet is you have some Mrfredaporty tecniques that are unique to you. With your quest and guitar journey in TAC, the other stuff will come along – if you are interested in going there! Have fun 😎🎶🎸

Just to let you know we are all still “noons” @subsailor731 : for decades I played the 3 fingered G chord because that was the chord I learned. I thought all G chords were played that way. Many years layered I started listening to a singer songwriter and began looking up his chord sheets. Low and behold there was this new G chord that was played with 4 fingers. I thought hmmmmm, maybe this is a typo. Instead I tried playing it and when I heard the fuller sound of the chord and have since been playing the 4 finger variant as a default every since! “Horses for courses” as they say. With so may things to explore on the guitar – even with a simple G chord – we are all noobs together!

… and when we post what we think are “noob” questions we all learn so much through the answers that everyone shares through their experience and point of view!

Thanks for posting your questions @subsailor731 ! 😃

Wow @ai.e you have invested of and in yourself with what you have accomplished in terms of dedicated consistency and progress. Congratulations 👏👏 you are setting the bar high for all of us!

[Kitman]

Nice flexible routine @WAMGOC ! The effectiveness of what you do is that it allows you to play every day! Congrats! 😃

Hi @subsailor731 , both styles of playing the G chord are used with abundance in many styles of music. Over that past couple weeks I was exposes to an alternative fingering of the 3 finger G chord: use the pinky on the high e 3rd fret, use the ring finger on low E 3rd Fret, pointer finger in 2nd fret of A string. What it’s sets up is the ability to shift the pointer to the first fret of the b string and viola you have yourself a Gsus 4/9 chord. A pretty cool sounding variant. 😃

Hey there @andysmith22gmail-com , IMO wouldn’t go back and start the 30 Days to Play again. If you know you played on those days and you “spaced” in marking them off, mark them off after the fact. I have done this in the normal guitar journal (the one we use each 90 day period). I play every day and do the challenges every day… however sometimes forget to record that in the journal. When this happens go back in the journal and I mark the daily lesson as done, and note what it was (ie. The title of the challenge). If I can remember a win from that day I will write it in. If not I will write I showed up and played. In the space to record time played I sometimes often leave that blank because I simply cannot remember when I started and stopped – however I give myself credit for playing at least 10 minutes, well… because I know I did! No prescriptions here – just sharing what Indomwhen I forget to “mark myself present”!😃

Hi @Mrfredsporty I”m pretty certain the term lackadaisical does not apply to you when it comes to guitar… no doubt in my mind! 😃 Somewhere either on TAC or on Just Music Geeks (JMG) there was a post about an article from WIRED magazine about a more creative free form style of learning bs regimen. You might find that interesting. I will find it a post the link here. In any case, a great win that you have found a love for the guitar and pursue it on a quest that is all yours! 😎😃<div>

Hi @subsailor731 good advice here from both @Cadgirl and @Bill_Brown . Take these at your own pace. “30 days” is really more directional in terms of time taken than prescriptive. The idea of the course is to help the student play something and see improvement within a very short time period (aka 30 days). Move along as you feel comfortable doing it. 😃
