I concur with all the above comments and sites. I would also add the Stellar Guitarist out of Australia as another companion site for songs to the others mentioned above. I’ve gotten good material from all of those mentioned.

I always include songs in my quarterly goals and that has been a good process for me. If you want to see my system you can look at my profile which I update each quarter with my new quarterly modifications (I don’t say goals because it regularly takes me more than a quarter to build the muscle memory for some of the songs.

I am trying a different format. This one is jpeg rather than pdf.

Thanks @jorgemac and @bill_brown. I’m traveling in Switzerland but when I get back I’ll try a different file format and see if I can get your input on my attempt. I have enjoyed this “little learning project. I got the idea from he last time this benchmark came around.

Sorry to see you go . Good luck your continuing guitar journey. Happy that you were able to profit from your forum interactions and TAC lessons.

Not so much here for songs. Songs are used in instruction but the point is more teaching and learning guitar. But there’s a pot full on YouTube, eg. simple like Lauren Bateman which complement rather than complete with TAC format.

Noted. Good song.

Will miss you.

What @jumpinjeff says makes sense. I tell my hard of hearing friends that hearing loss is not something one can self-assess. (I don’t need hearing aids. I hear just fine. BUT ask your grandkids if you need hearing aids.) I likewise dabbled around guitar for decades with occasional lessons or a workshop here and there. But the consistency of TAC is where I became a guitar player. And FBW is where I got to stop using my memory for random facts, licks, chord progressions and keys and started to actually visualize what is going on with the music. (Now if I could just remember the lyrics!). I recommend staying with the challenges as presented by the teacher even if it isn’t my favorite curriculum. It’s only 10 minutes less time spent on Netflix.

If it hurts that bad, you might explore thumb replacements (like a hip replacement rather than tendon surgery). It is a relatively new procedure and my wife had it done a few weeks ago and she is rehabbing quickly and singing its praises.

Congratulations. Someday you will be Back to the Future!

I would advise one to just go on and jump in to the current challenge. The TAC process does work. The challenges eventually will repeat and when they do come around again you will be pleased at the progress you have made since your last effort. But it is a mindset change to go from “getting it down right” to “do your best for now and move on.” Keeping the fun is more important than mastering the material. I tell myself that anything worth doing is worth doing poorly at first. After almost 2,600 playing sessions i can attest that the joy just gets better.

Hey. I get it. Fun job. That harmony pedal is fun. My grandkids think that those non existent voices are spooky, like a chorus of ghosts jumping in, but I think it is just more fun. A little fun music is good for the soul. Wishing your hard times are becoming surmountable.

Nice listen. How did you add the closed captioned lyrics?

Thanks. I wanted to know that too but had not thought to ask the question. And now you have provided a good answer.
