Good luck with your commitment and your new goal. 🙏

Keep us updated so we know how it’s going.

Glad you found something that works for you, Mike. 👍

I have the opposite problem, smaller hands but I end up with the same issue when I get down to the pulloff. I’ll have to try your solution. Thanks for the tip!

[Rando]

Great, WAMGOC!

I would certainly be happy with it.

[Rando]

Way to go, bmacdonald!

Keep up the good work.👍

OK. Went back to 30 Days and been working on strumming, Boom Chick & Boom Chick-A’s. Just started the scale to get ready for my first “solo”. 😳

Getting to where I can run the scale pretty well in both directions, but still gotta work on that stretch from 5th to 8th fret.

Welcome, Ana.

If you’re talking about the Blues Shuffle at the beginning of 30 Days to Play when you mentioned hitting “both strings with the pick”, I still have trouble doing it consistently.

I still look at the strings daily. Sometimes I get brave and look away, and quickly get reminded why I usually look. 🙂

Now, I’m only on day 32, and I have no business giving anyone advice. So, I won’t. But the progress I’ve noticed so far has been very gratifying. The daily playing really seems to make a big difference. I still get frustrated and think I’ll never get something, but the next day, things get easier or make more sense.

You’ll get there. Just have patience. Good luck and don’t give up.

Thanks Victoria. Thanks for all you and the team do for us.

Happy Thanksgiving TAC friends. Stay safe and don’t eat too much.

Thanks Cadgirl and albert_d. The kind words and encouragment is always nice to see. I don’t really notice the long practices cuz I get so involved in it. Some are just 15-20 finger stretchers, then I get distracted. As long as I get some every day. 🙂

I’ve been working on the 12 Bar Blues Skills Challenge. The first couple days went pretty well, 3rd & 4th days are giving me some issues. But today I tried Jimi’s Chord. I’ve never tried plucking and percussion, but this went pretty good and it’s a lot of fun.

Welcome Sprout007.

Hope you enjoy your journey.

[Rando]

Woo hoo!! It was a great day! After working on my blues skills, I went back to my 30 Days and picked up with my chord work. I actually got my C chord down pretty well. It still needs work but greatly improved today. My transitions need a lot of practice, but much better. Even the things that I had already been practicing went much smoother. I practiced for almost an hour and it only seemed like 15-20 minutes. Maybe my fingers are actually starting to listen to me. 😁

Welcome NewCreation.

I’m a short timer myself. People have been very helpful and encouraging.

Thanks Loraine.

Thanks, Mark. Kind words appreciated.

Thanks Guitargeezer-Jack. I appreciate the encouraging words. I was working on Fretboard Wizard, but between it AND 30 Days, I was jamming too much stuff in there all at once. So, I stopped both and went to the 12 Bar Skills. Problem is, with all the stuff I’m “learning”, I have trouble remembering everything and end up accidentally combining things. 🤔 Hmm. That didn’t sound right.
