12 string exploration. Bold and brave. Finding comfort in a new zone!

You must have had a prolific recording feeling. I see you’ve posted several performances. Thanks for sharing them. I’ve committed to trying to post more this quarter as part of my Guitar Journal goals before our next Quarterly Party.

The switch to daylight time must have sparked your introspective fires. But I am along side you. My routine is just that… a routine and daily habit. My two nemesis have been Mississippi Timing (cousin to Spike Driver) and Funkified Blues. I am so glad I bought a lifetime membership after the first 90 days. That made me “lifetime committed” and I attest to the enrichment it has brought to my guitar playing and daily joy. You are right. Music is a gift from God. We’ve witnessed the metamorphosis of TAC and it various website facelifts and the Fretboard Wizard rework and the Quarterly Party and the deemphasis on the TAC Song site and the Song Challenges (Remember Irene Goodnight and Ragtime Blues?) and Jam Clubs and all those Acoustic Tuesday episodes and taken them in stride. The heart of Fun with Consistency survives and propels us onward. Guitar geeks unite. And congratulations on session 1100.

Congratulations. FBW is its own reward!

Good journey to you.

Look at you all. Thanks for the uplifting share.

Is that a North Carolina State Song? Scary! But your muscle memory came through. Way to go and get back on that raft and keep floating.

Good win. I’ll have a milestone coming up soon too. I think the counter is most useful for motivation. It is fun to think about the accumulative effect of small changes.

Good review for me too. Thanks.

Welcome @Markl. I can add to what these guys said but I do want to welcome you to TAC. Keep having fun with your music. I too love to play for grandkids.

It probably doesn’t help you with main stream songs, but it is fun. I’ve used it to play A Soalin’ in prep for Christmas. Tony throws these alternate tunings in a few times a year and they are appreciated and fun after you’ve been in a while. These tunings also reenforce concepts you pick up in Fretboard Wizard. There is also a whole skills course on Alt Tunings. Don’t let it worry you. Your first week just happens to be a anomaly for a Challenge starting place.

Oh man. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Welcome to the Lifetime sojourners. Each TACaversary I reflect on my progress and am reminded what a joy it is to express myself in music. A true blessing indeed. And I am better and more easily able to do so as the techniques, licks, scales, rhythm, and chords and theory become muscle and mind memory. One does not get bored by the repetition of lessons but rather reinforced. I recommend a Lifetime membership to all Guitar Geeks. It is a great investment in life enjoyment.

The log on counter is a great “accountability partner” for me. It is a useful reminder of our consistently. My longest streak was 366, but I intentionally broke it in May 2022 so I could prove to myself that I wasn’t obsessed. I currently stand at 14. I am happy for your small win.
