My Guitar Goal

What I'm Focused On Now

Work up a ten song set that I could perform at an open mic. OK to use song sheets, although I’ll memorize some if able.

My Guitar Routine

This is How I TAC

10 minutes a day, every day. Location is not set in stone — I need to move around the house as needed so others can get their work done!

I usually end up playing much longer because it’s fun!

  • Warm up (usually the warm up from the previous Monday) for 2-3 minutes
  • Daily challenge (M-F), or solo practice over chords (weekends)
  • Work on a flatpicking or fingerpicking song from the song vault
  • Work on learning some other song to sing along with
  • Electric guitar – learn a lick or a rhythm part
