    I am two years into my Journey. I made Guitar a part of my life and my daily routine. I still struggle. But I get out, what I put in. I am telling myself for year 3, play at least an extra 10 minutes a day. It does get better. Like Pete said, I suck less than I did two years ago.

    Hang in there!

  • I love the original version of Sound of Silence by S&G. Love watching live versions of Paul playing his guitar to it. But there is something to the “Disturbed” version that I cant stop listening too.

    I enjoyed watching his shows. After his last series ended, he indicated there would be another season. I guess we will wait and see. I have a Guitarsonal Shirt, but have not taken a picture yet.

    Can’t agree more. Find a song you like and start playing it!! Do the challenges, but add a song to play!

    When I first started playing (35+ years ago) and trying to teach myself, I went with the 3 finger G instead of the 4 finger G. My thought was teaching 3 fingers would be easier than teaching 4 fingers. That was the start of my yo-yo trip of playing for a week and then put it away for a year, and never getting anywhere.

    When I started with TAC 2 years ago, my first thing was to play a 4 finger G. It is getting better but it is more natural now and getting better everyday.

    Stick with it, it will get better.

  • I do not listen to Heavy metal. I first heard this version on a season finale of a show I watched a few years ago, when one of the main charters was getting killed off. The Blacklist.

    Another one from the early 60’s that was one of my favorites was “Last Kiss” by J. Frank Wilson. It was Covered by Pearl Jam. I have added that one to my list of songs I am learning. Simple Chords and strum pattern and repeatable. G-EM-C-D one measure each and repeat. DDUUDU. Classic!

    35 Years ago, I bought my first Guitar, a Sigma. (Knockoff Martin). I think my Guitar Journey has been successful this time because of many factors. The Martin is one because of the investment. But also Timing was a factor and finding the right program to follow for me, TAC.

    I am a little bit of a Guitar Junky. I am always search the local market for my “next one”. On my One Year Anniversary of TAC, I went out and bought two Guitars. A Taylor Urban Ash GT, and a Carbon Fiber Enya. Both different and unique in there own way.

    Because of my recent shoulder surgery, I have been playing the Taylor, because it is very light.

    Whatever it takes for me to continue my Journey!
