    Good for you @Elaine ! Your profile indicates a goal of yours is playing praise songs so do a internet search to find songs you enjoy with the chord shapes you are trying to perfect. I found that really helps me make transitions more accurately and smoother over time. Keep on playing!

    Appreciate your remarks Kevin and Mike. There is a guitarist calling himself “Guitar Entertainer Zeus” on board this Viking Venus. He plays his sets acoustically with enhanced vocal effects. Very talented guy – plays whatever you want.

    Appreciate all your comments. I am enjoying my travels in Scandinavia with my travel guitar and keeping up with Daily Challenges as I go along. Denmark next.

    Hoping your symptoms remain mild and you have no extended effects. albert_d, I am presently traveling overseas in Scandinavia with Viking. They have been proactive regarding COVID as we are tested daily and encouraged to wear masks 😷 when in crowded areas off and on ship.

    I brought my Journey travel guitar along and have put in at least 10 minutes in each day using the ship’s WiFi to link up.

    Last night there was a 60’s music show that was inspiring, had exceptional musicians and vocalists. Terrific guitarist also on board preforms daily.

    It’s great to venture once again out into the World!

    Nicely done putting into practice this week’s lessons @Moonhare (Darren). Now, the lyrics to that melody?

    Loraine’s correct. However, @BobbyJ you are able to interact with Tony directly at each 90 Day Progress Party that is streamed live.

    You started your DC’s on a very good week of lessons by Tony. I have maintained a “weekly progress tracker” (TAC form download) for over a year now so the current “Prom Nightmare” challenges give me a second shot at them. I can clearly see by my notes a year ago on the form how much easier each DC is now from when I first attempted them. Enjoy your guitar adventure @Mrfredsporty – I am in my 70’s but find playing tunes from the 1970’s (and earlier decades) keep me mentally young!

    Mike — The distance between the fretboard and strings is a bit high even with shims provided. It gives my fingers a work out. There is a shorter bridge but haven’t switched to it. The guitar is “what it is” for travel. I do have to tune it constantly! Any guitar is far better than no guitar‼️

    It has extremely high string to fretboard action, especially up the neck when assembled right out of the bag. It has to be shimmed (those provided) to make it much more playable. I am finding it requires continuous tuning. It is what it is.
