My Guitar Goal

What I'm Focused On Now

1. Catch up on the Daily Challenge exercises (I was exactly 2 months behind on Jan 6 2021).
2. Learn a fingerpicked song (Blackbird, by Lennon and McCartney).
3. Finish my Fretboard Wizard song composition test.

My Guitar Routine

This is How I TAC

I’ve been doing the TAC daily warmup/challenge exercise since Jan 6  2021, when I made up my very first set of written guitar goals.  I practice for around 30 minutes every morning, 5 days a week, after coffee and breakfast and walking the pet.  I started Fretboard Wizard on Oct 26 2020 but did not catch on to what Tony’s Acoustic Challenge was all about until the Jan 6 goal setting session with Tony.  Fretboard Wizard has been a wonderful awakening, however, my picking and fretting skills were so frighteningly poor, they gave me a bad case of ‘writer’s block’ on the final FW assignment, which was to write my own song.  Hopefully I’ll soon overcome that… in the meantime, my hat is off to all the songwriters out there.  I don’t know how you do it, but thanks for the inspiration.
