    Nice job. The YouTube upload says you did this in 2015 but I assume it is a typo and is really 2025. This song speaks to all us Dads.

    Wow. You guys are hung ho regarding chord transitions. These are some serious ideas. I had not heard of the folded corners idea. I’ll have to fiddle around with it.

    Definitely move on. The challenges will come around again and you will be pleasantly surprised with how much easier it will be for you when they do and realize your progress.

    I would try pickup with the Daily Challenge. But if that overwhelms you, go back to the skills courses that you feel are hindering you. The key is to get back on a horse that challenges you but that you still enjoy because fun is the key. The journey is the enjoyment. The destination is a momentary reward before the next leg of the journey. Kudos to you for overcoming life getting in the way and your overcoming the obstacles to get back to your guitar routine.

    Something a little rowdy, not serous, like “Blow up Your TV”. Also depends on the context. Might be “Freight Train” or “Margaritaville” or “Will the Circle Be Unbroken”.. I like the question. Hope the thread continues.

    Enjoyed that. Actually picked up my guitar and played along with you.

    It would likely be a slow blues song. I tried and made The Thrill is Gone by BB King work with it for example. You might google Slow Blues Songs or Slow 12 Bar Blues Songs and see if one might work for you. Hope that helps. (You can also make up a song of your own. Like I made up. “My flag pole is broken baby. Wind blew it right in the street. (Repeat)

    Mama says I got to get out my tools and fix back it straight and neat.” [Inspired by actual recent event]

    I am not exactly following you, but Wednesday usually is a scale. It should come together on Friday’s chord transition session. In your accounting that might be Day 5 of Week 4. Don’t get too frustrated. The process will come together.

    I fear the rivers overflowing, I hear the voice of rage and ruin. And there is a bathroom on the right. Ha.

    I am not familiar with this song but will investigate it a little further. It’s nice to find new songs. Thanks.

    You will be surprised how your brain tucks your 10 minutes away and comes back to it next time around. Research shows retention works better with short (say five 10 minute sessions with five 2 minute breaks) than one long (say 60 minute) session. I think that is why it works and it nice to take off the pressure of comparing yourself to where you are than where you think you SHOULD be. Enjoy.
