Good for you l I had the same experience.

[albert_d]

Congratulations on TAC II. In the short run we can get stuck but in the long run I’ve noticed that we do what we want to so you will eventually figure it out.

[albert_d]

Eventually you will read tablature like the Sunday comics. (Now does that date me?)

[albert_d]

Sorry. No experience there.

[albert_d]

Now that one worked. Nice performance, as usual.

I don’t think this YouTube link posted right.

Hey in reading your response I saw you live in Hutto. I’m in north Austin. My grandkids are in Round Rock. So a super welcome to you.

One never appreciates a shoulder until you lose it and have to have it fixed. Mine was trying to start a pressure washer. Those dreadnoughts still tire my shoulder out. Glad you are back and progressing.

Nice tribute. I too note his passing as another disappearance of youthful meaningful moments. Thanks for sharing.

[albert_d]

Yes. I have enjoyed learning rhythms I did not culturally grow up with too.

[albert_d]

But of course she did. You guys are having more than the legal limit of something. Fun maybe? Thanks for sharing.

You not the only one with this issue, but the issue isn’t your playing, it is your mind. You don’t have to get it “right”, you just have to get it “better”. The challenges will come back around again at some point. Consider yourself “complete” if you have done your 10 minutes. If you really love the challenge and want to master it then mark it a favorite and let it bake in your muscle memory then come back at some point and try again. I have one challenge I love, Mississippi Timing. I love it but I have struggled with it off and on for two years now. I come back to it about once a month and work on it a bit. Each time I get closer (it’s a timing thing). Now some times I even get it right. Eventually I will have it. When I do, I will record and post it. (See my action plan.) But in the meantime I am enjoying other less challenging Daily Challenges and now I can play Brown Eyed Girl. The challenges build. Trust the process. Perfect can be the enemy of Good. And above all, Let yourself have fun.

[albert_d]

Amen to the “Worth it”.

[albert_d]

Sorry for your schedule but welcome back. Just 10 minutes, right?

[albert_d]

Wow. Your backyard has a lot of warm coastal birds! Nice job on the chord progression. (And what are those longed necked puppies you keep in the kennels?)
