Yes!!! Mine too! I am absolutely THRILLED & OVER THE MOON 🌖🎶🎸🎉🥳💃💪👏 about seeing my track record for TAC! It’s not so important for me to “show off“ how well I am doing or any of competition. My biggest win since I started 30 days to play was that I consistently played every single day since I started. I did not miss a single day. However, it was showing That my days in a row streak kept getting chopped off. I am planning on doing a small win post… Because I realize that today marks 60 days for me that is including 30 days to play, plus the five day challenge as well as the lesson on chords. Now, I just completed the third week of the 90 day challenge.! I’m happy for you as well!

Thank you 🙏 so much for your support and encouragement and thoughtful response! Ironically, that is what I intuitively did last night when I felt like I was at the end of my proverbial rope 😆🤪😂!!! I have taken it very slowly, and was actually getting closer to being able to fret up to the D String. However, what made the biggest difference was to allow myself permission just to fret, the B and the High E! Once again, thanks! Guitar geeks, unite! 🎶🎸🎉☮️🕉️💪🥳

Way to Go Joyfinder! Congratulations! I loved your share! This week has been, by far, the most challenging! The palm muting was a new lesson for me and I got a blister on the side of my thumb after the first day of the technique. That did not stop me from playing though! The last two lessons were very tough and frustrating for me. I am loving this challenge and everything I am learning. I am willing to / and have been consistent with playing every day, without fail. I have remained dedicated to grasping the concept and applying it every day. However, the barre chords with the pinky on a fret 3 frets away felt impossible. Because I could not reach with my pinky on the very first chord, I felt defeated. Then, today’s challenge was even more involved. I reached out on the forum for suggestions on any alternate ways. I started breaking it down. Before, I found it to be painful and my fretting hand was cramping. That being said, I am finally making progress. I know I am not alone and saw other similar comments. I hope you and your thumb, hand and the rest of your fingers enjoy a little break. I wish I could join you at the beach! LOL!

I am replying to my own post, with a small win! I am making progress with what felt like “impossible”. I broke it down and made some adjustments and was able to make progress!

Way to Go!!! Rock On Sister! I learned to play the guitar about 40 years ago, however, just had a few chords and limited finger picking. I have used my guitar to accompany myself while singing a few songs, but never got past that point. I am very passionate about singing and realize that I truly want to play the guitar and not depend on others for accompaniment. I’m learning so many new techniques, and it is a wonderful foundation. That is also fun and with a community! I am cheering you on! 🎸🎉🎶

Way to Go and Congratulations! I am totally with you! Today was my first day of my first day of the 90 Day Challenge! I had not heard of Wagon Wheel either. I am excited to learn the Hammer-Ons and Pull-Offs too! This is all totally new to me!

Thank you 🙏 so much for your support and encouragement! Yes! Let’s cheer each other on! It is a beautiful thing to be part of this community… Even though I am just beginning to reach out and just beginning this journey. I also appreciate being encouraged to look at the “small wins“! I know that I have had a tendency to focus on, what I am struggling with or what I haven’t accomplished… Especially when I reach what I perceive as a stumbling block. Progress and not perfection! I appreciate that Tony encourages us to have fun and focus on enjoyment. I have found that when I am consistent at playing every day , I connect with my Guitar in a more “intimate way“ as we are making music together!
Thanks again and congratulations on your progress! I’m sorry you are dealing with arthritis… But it sounds like you are a champion!!! let’s rock!

I have jumped in and love it. I am starting my 90 day journal, however, I am starting my first day in February and not January. So, I am not in Sync with the 90 Day time-frames. I think I may journal the two months for this quarter and print a new journal for next quarter where I can be in sync with the program, if that makes sense.

Thank you. I sent a message about the December/January Progress 90 Day Check-In and I was told by Admin, that those were cancelled. However, I was told that Tony would be doing a 5 Day Live, instead, every three months. I believe the first one may be at the end of March.
