I have seen some improvement in speed in navigating the site but now I am having issues with this….. I am going thru the strumming series and when I get on that page and see the list of the lessons within that strumming series on the left side, I am signed in on some and not signed in on others so cant even mark the ones I am not signed in on as complete but others further down are marked as complete. LOL Guess I”ll sit on this one a while and see if its fixed, unless its completely me and its operator error. IDK. But I am glad it doesnt take as long to load, at least for me it doesnt. Loving my lessons still, patiently waiting for improvement! Good problem to have for Tony with such growth, being such a great way to learn now, to get those IT folks to figure out the bugs.

Ive only been learning a month so those things you referenced I have no idea what you are talking about, yet. I mostly only learn from TAC, Its too confusing watching all the YT videos from everyone else on YT vids. But it sounds interesting none the less! Thanks again Pete!

[JILLC]

Thanks Matt for your input. I played along as best I could but it wasnt fun at all for me. I ended up marking it completed and moved along to the 5 day program. This one IS fun!!!

I watched todays (wednesday) challenge. Its very overwhelming. He goes so fast on what to do, which fret, which string……. is it normal to have to watch the dang video many times to be able to do what he is asking? I think I’ll hang out on learning my chords and transitioning better and gain a bit of confidence before launching into the challenges. Wow

Thank you for more input! I will work on this instead of being frustrated with it all. Do you recommend just working on this instead of trying to move on to the daily challenges and whatever is in the regular TAC?? I have never done anything in TAC except the 30 days and the other things in the skill courses after it, which the last one is the last 6 chords Im complaining about, but i will get there and thankfully with ya’lls help.

I love Night Moves! I’ll have to practice what you said so I can try it, in a year or 2!!! LOL I cant even imagine playing a song yet. I have to practice the chord transitions alot more so it will actually SOUND like a song instead of a bunch of separate notes. LOL Thanks!

[JILLC]

Hi Pete, I havent done any of the challenges yet, Im still in the parts before it. Am I supposed to be doing them? Do I need to know the chords pretty well before starting them? I feel like Im so crappy I have to stick where I am before moving on even tho I know Tony says to move along even if you dont know something very good. Im settling down some about it and will get back to it with JOY! Thanks

[JILLC]

I agree about the name of the F chord!! Its a bitch, to be nice about it. I have only been learning since Christmas so have not even thought about trying a song yet. Im struggling to say the least. That is a great plan to learn the chords tho’. I need to play more and learn the chords and transitions more and just get back to realizing it CAN be fun still.

[JILLC]

I dont have a capo but can get one. I have no idea what they are for tho’. I will try what you recommend tho and see how it goes. Thanks!

Hi Skyman, I do try to get in the 10 min a day most days, but the F chord really did something in me that got me to start thinking maybe this isnt really possible for me, but I know that is just the frustration talking really. I plan on keeping up with the lessons, like Tony says in the lesson, it takes strength to do them and I can verify to that. My hands hurt trying to hold down the barr while mashing other strings. But its part of learning. I appreciate you input and encouragement so thank you!

[JILLC]

I will keep that in mind, since I know so little about actually playing songs and such, I dont know what is important and what is not (that can be modified like you do). Thank you for the encouragement Matt! Im going to keep going despite my lack of motivation from the F chord frustrations. Thank you.

[JILLC]

Thanks Dennis, I found that out as well. Printing the TAB helps but Im still learning how to read and follow them in a timely manner. Really enjoying the lessons, difficult as they are!

[JILLC]

Ah, that’s what I thought. I print some of the tabs that I find super difficult, but as we go along, thats most of them. LOL Thanks for the reply!

[JILLC]

I found a Chord printout with 24 chords so I should be good to learn whatever he throws at me. You are WAY beyond where I am currently but Im glad to hear you still find them challenging but are making progress Pete! Thank you.

[JILLC]

Struggling here too, do you mean you print the TAB sheet or how do you print a lesson if not? I have to watch and rewatch the video over and over to remember what he said. He taught a few new chords in day 5 of the 5 day series but they are not listed on my beginner 12 chord cheat sheet someone gave me (thank you so much whoever gave me that! I still use it daily!). I will poke around and see if I can figure out how to print the lesson so I dont have to watch the video 6 times!
