Hi @RudyB , I too like the mini chords and although we call them mini they are actually full fledged chord triads. And I am a slow learner too who waited about 30 years to get on my guitar journey. I am seeing the brilliant strategy of the Tortoise (Tortoise and Hare Fame) playing out in real time. Slow and steady, and every day I win even if it is ever so small. Sometimes though it is gigantic lightning bolt flash wins. Looks like you are winning too.

not sure if TAB is available: I did not see an option for it anywhere. Do you know how to transcribe? the video can be slowed down to .5 speed making transcription a little easier. So much can be learned in the transcription process. It is the dissection lab of music.

Buckle up @Michael_D you are headed through the looking glass. 😀👍

I wish I were going!!! Have a great time Bill. I look forward to hearing about your experience.

@Sparky1 : There is a nice index finger bar that I use. 2nd fret bar the DGBE strings and reach your pinky to fret 5 on the high E string (making it an A note) I like this position chord because it lets me explore the A6, A7, Amaj7 chords changing the note on the high E string. In my mind I keep the shapes organized by thinking of this as a G shape A chord (when I use my index finger on the bar) and if I am using my Ring or Pinky to bar DGB I think of it as an A shaped chord.

@Alisa said: “What are you all doing to keep the streak alive, log in just for the sake of it?”
I sharpen up everyday with the warm up exercises. For me it is an exercise in speed, precision, accuracy, and tension removal. I guess I never gave much weight to the streak counter but I can see how it might be a useful tool when developing a consistent playing habit. I would probably loose my mind if I couldn’t play for a day, I think my habit is established. There are many instances where I am not able to log on when I am off the grid (like middle of the pacific ocean off grid) but I still play. The observed benefits of daily play have made it really easy for me to continue with the practice.
Are you able to use the annoyed feeling to your advantage?

Nice win Jim B. Your hiatus may be just what you needed to motivate you. As you recognize the disadvantages of your interruption and ponder the the progress made while consistency was your practice, look for the silver lining in your down time. You regained (hopefully) the lost health and you super charged your desire. There is more than one small win here. Glad you are back on track to becoming the player you desire to be.

Hi @WyoBoy52 , I get there by clicking on the “Start Challenge” button which brings up the current days challenge but it also brings up a list on the left of my screen showing me all the lesson of the month, which ones I have done and which ones are to come. I can click on any of the months past lessons but not the future lessons. I do have to click on the Start Challenge button on that first page to access the list.

@campfire said: “I tried playing an A-shaped barre chord with index barring 3rd fret, but that’s not a C chord,”……
You are correct. If your index only bars the third fret it is a Bflat chord
To make a C chord, index finger bars the third fret (all strings) and the ring finger bars D,G,B strings on the 5th fret. I am focusing on those 3 strings because they are the three strings that differentiate the A shape from the other shapes (mostly). Bar those three strings on the fourth fret to make B chord and since there is only a half step between B and C when you go a half step higher to the 5th fret that is where the C chord is made. Again, only focusing on DGB strings. Any of those bars can be made into a 6 string chord “A shaped chord” if you bar the rest of the strings two frets back.

Right, right @dr_dave , I clicked on the presented link (no option for tab on that page) and to get the tabs one needed to be on the page previous.

@musicianmh , Nice choice! I was reminded of this post today when I saw Matt Chulka from Eddies Guitars in St Louis: he was demonstrating an Iris version of the Roy Smeck Stage Deluxe. One of the least expensive reproductions and sounding pretty darn good. I know you made your choice but I put in the link for fun. Yep guitar geek move.

Never you mind who they are (pale in comparison): you just keep making the SWR sound. I like the venturing out of the comfort zone. You did it well. Steve and Lizzie props too.

He is pretty tight lipped about what goes on there much to my chagrin as I would like to know everything. He did suggest I read the youtube policy but my conclusions are my own. I will let this dog sleep and defer to your expertise as you your knowledge exceeds mine. I am a blind mouse looking for crumbs. Thanks @rickyk76 for shedding light on the topic.

@rickyk76 , I think you are right regarding: “it’s all about the money.” The question is who is getting the money? I could not figure out why some of the AT vids had ads and some did not and then I found this:
https://www.youtube.com/howyoutubeworks/policies/copyright/#making-claims
If TAC uses a clip or non original content, it can be claimed and the claimant is then able to run ads on the whole video. TACs video channel is not monetized by TAC.🕵

@rickyk76 , I went to the episode in your example and I did get the adverts. The latest episode #191 did not have adverts. When you watch 191 do you get adverts?
