    Good campfires rendition. Easy for those listeners who remember to be able to sing along. Thanks for posting.

    Praying that your bones will move to make another surgery unnecessary… and that your spiritual and emotional being continues to be strong and that music and praise of any sort will continue to flow out of you.

    Welcome @lisajcurtis67gmail-com to TAC. Let me see if I can give you some peace of mind. But first, where are you in your guitar journey? Are you a “never ever picked up a guitar before”, or “have dabbled over the years and want to get consistent now”, or “I can play around campfires but want to get serious”? My counsel depends on your goals. @Loraine can tell you learning guitar isn’t easy but can be done with fun and enrich your life. So my initial advice is to just focus on the 30 DAYS TO PLAY, then the FIVE DAYS something or other, then jump in the Daily Challenges. If you are not a “never ever”, then you could accelerate that process. But my main caution is not fall into the trap of comparative thinking where fun goes to die. Wherever you are on your journey, enjoy it. Trust the process. The 10 minutes will work if it is consistent.

    I would also formalize your overall goal in writing (if not in your profile then in your head). That is the “Start with the end in mind” thing. [Wow… I have a lot of “” and () today] Anyway that is a start.

    I use Guitar Tabs and it has such a feature at the center bottom. I haven’t seen such a feature inside TAC.

    Not of which I’m aware inside TAC. I would think they could be googled, but I usually scribble my own.

    Good chord transitions and chord modifications… and song selection. I feel sad thinking about Alan Jackson’s physical deterioration that prohibits his performing very long on stage. We saw him here in Austin at the rodeo halftime once live. Good time.

    Nice set up. And you even have your TAC notebook. Old school like me.

    Tony has a whole stretching course that I use. I think it is under skill courses.

    Great win. You have the 1–3-5 chord concept. For G major that is the G,B and D. (Check out the GBE strings at the 7th, 8th, and 7th fret (D chord shape- index on E, middle on B and Ring on G. Voila! You have a B,G,D with root on the B string. That is a triad.

    The C Major chord will be C,E, and G (1-3-5).

  • Hilarious. Love the front porch setting. Stop singing. Ha! And love the slide.

    That experimental approach is a great learning tool. Good win. And a way to apply your theory to make it practical. Thanks for sharing.

    One, Old Man, will start on Monday. They don’t reside any special place. They are included each month with Daily Challenges. So if you save them as a favorite when they come around you can access them anytime. Or if you know of another who has saved them you can go to that profile and find them (same is true of any daily challenges… if you can remember the name of the challenge).:)

    That’s interesting. I may give that a try. Computers are also my friend. I meet them back when I had to assemble punch cards to compile a program.
