@Cadgirl – I lucked up by getting a gently used Taylor 414ce-R as my second and now favorite of mine. You have good reason to be excited with the Taylor. Regardless of brand or model, if it feels right, it is right for you! Have fun and wear it out!

Loraine is correct recommending 30 Days to Play as your first course. I found under the “Skill Courses” category – Your Next Six Chords – a good one to complete second. If F chord shapes are difficult (it is typically the most difficult one since it requires barre positioning), take a look at the Q@A at the end of the Fretting Hand Toolbox skill course for more discussion related to problems new guitarists face.
Remember this should be fun above all else
Regarding Daily Challenges – don’t get discouraged by them, some are too difficult at first. You may find the Friday ones easier as they reinforce chord shape and learning to transition from one to another.
You should look into the Stretching for Guitar course early on too. That really helps prepare you to physically play longer.
As Tony says just picking up your guitar for 10 minutes is important. That amount of time usually far exceeds that limited timeframe in reality once you get going each day.
Plan to attend the live zoom Progress Party Tony hosts quarterly- next is April. The Acoustic Tuesday every week helps to keep us engaged too.
Hope this helps you to further navigate your TAC journey.
@AnneN wishing you many hours of success and enjoyment. Welcome to the TAC Family!

Nicole, If you mark a lesson by using the heart symbol (indicates “favorite”) then you can access a lesson anytime after month end. Welcome to the TAC family. Wishing you much fun and success!

I’ve got two Taylors I hug each day. No hate with any guitar out there from me. Nice tune with fun lyrics. @Dzuy N, you are clearly having a successful ride on the TAC train! 🚂

Found all the comments interesting. Thank you @Salty for starting the discussion. Learned a lot.

Another great original @Moonhare ! I see that new arsenal acquisition beauty behind you.

The “30 Days to Play” should be one of the menu choices where you can select other options like “Acoustic Tuesday”, “Daily Challenge”, “Skill Courses”,etc. It’s a great reboot for those who drift away but desire to return back to playing again @ram24night . Also think the skill courses can motivate you in whatever type of playing you prefer. Play on!

@Moonhare 🌕🐇 I agree wholeheartedly with you. Believe that skill course will further enhance your creative & playing abilities. The Q&A gives a look behind the curtain with the technical team of TAC.

Thank you @Loraine 🌞

I wholeheartedly agree with MG as I let my thumb nail grow so it has become a plectrum (hard to lose this pick!). Downside is it has become a cutting tool of sorts that I have to file daily. 🤔 Of course, the fleshy side of the thumb works nicely too for a softer sounding strum.
