Consistency is the key for both improvement and enjoyment. All of us go at our own pace.

Welcome to TAC Peter. Keep it up. I found over 3 years I improve over time by playing as life allows. Even just 10 minutes is worth it. Let us know how things are for you when you have completed the initial 30 days. Wishing you the best guitar life!

Nicely done @DiscostewLA – my favorite versions have lyrics adapted for both Easter and also Christmas. Very nice sounding Taylor!

@musicrmemsn-com Had the same problem when I started playing guitar three years ago. What helped me the most was (and still is) utilizing the exercises within Tony’s Skill Course “Daily Stretch for Guitar”. I have a long-term left wrist injury that restricts range of motion. Doing the exercises routinely has enabled me to gain the flexibility for playing without discomfort.

Take it slow at first by having several short practice sessions (10-15 minutes) instead of a prolonged session each day. That also helps to build up fingertip calluses too. However, with anything else worth pursuing, “no pain, no gain” but be smart about it. The most important thing Tony emphasizes is to play your guitar CONSISTENTLY.

@rbrenz001charter-net – I search online for the various songs Tony utilizes with the Daily Challenges for the lyrics and tablature sheets to download. Various websites offer them. I believe copyright laws come into play so that is the reason TAC doesn’t publish songs like Hotel California, Wagon Wheel, Ain’t No Sunshine, etc. referenced for benchmark weeks. Keep on playing!

@lollyt – not familiar with this song but your rendition (written by Toby Keith), both guitar and vocal, is lovely. I’m trying my best to not “let the old man in”.
