What @jorgemac says is a good plan. It will work even if it seems slow.

I am not ware but you can change to dark mode which might give you better contrast.

Congratulations on a 6th TACaversary. I will have another coming up next month. You’ve had such growth since starting this journey with TAC both emotionally and with the music even through COVID and living changes. Congratulations on your acceptance into your program in England, too. May you enjoy getting back into the habit of playing.

Great adventure and memory maker. Have a good guitar journey on your Baja journey.

Welcome to TAC. It’s been a while since I looked at this lesson and I don’t quite understand your question, but I’ll give it a shot. A chord is comprised of three notes. (But your ear can hear 3 notes even if you just play 2 notes since it is if familiar with the pattern). You will be strumming 2 notes on two strings. The first A section is the A and D strings. The second section is the D section so you are strumming the D and G Strings and the third section is the E section so you would strum the E and A strings. I think this addresses your question.
You don’t need to know this at this point to have fun, but for grins…This lessons is playing the shuffle in the key of A. I like math so A is the root or 1 chord. The blues shuffle is a 1-4-5 progression. So counting up… if 1 is A, then 4 is D and 5 is E. So you have your 3 sections.
Please be patient with yourself. It will all fall into place in time. Don’t let comparative thinking (even comparing your current self with your ideal self) frustrate you. And again, Welcome.

What fun and a great tribute to those precious nuggets joys we find in aging. There’s tough stuff (joints and all), but there’s clarity of vision in gratitude for the things that matter. Happy Birthday.

I’ll add to praise for Victoria. I, too, have been here a while and my interactions with her are always positive, supportive and helpful. My longest streak is 366 although it changed to 324 last fall for some unknown reason but I know they will eventually sort that stuff out. Victoria is another reason TAC is value to those of us on our guitar journey. Thank you.

Way to stay at it Nice win.

Oh no. So sorry to hear you had another fall and break. Will your fingers let you play Penny Whistle or Harmonica until you can heal?

Welcome to TAC. I too joined TAC as I began to anticipate retirement. It has been a rewarding move. Many of us have to set aside notions of perfection and comparison thinking and instead learn the joy of progress. The challenges come around again and the skill courses are always there for review. The challenges come around again and you will be pleased at how you have progressed without realizing it. But in the meantime one has to relax and let go of the idea of mastering. Your brain and muscle memory are quietly at work building on each days 10 minutes. So while it feels you are moving on too soon, understand you will return fortified. Have fun with it and accumulate small wins.

I forgot to mention… you know for the first umpteenth episodes of Acoustic Tuesday, Tony would always say Molly Tuttle in each episode. It was a fun, early quirk to the channel.

You lucky duck. Good to hear from you and what a great story to always have to share. I am envious.

Good job. Build that atomic guitar habit. Nothing but a blast is in your future. Welcome to TAC.

Welcome to a fun and rewarding guitar journey. Your progress will sneak up on you. The 10 minute deal really does work. And you will eventually be adding back pocket benchmark and other songs to your enjoyment. And be introduced to genres that you didn’t even realize you would like! So have fun.
