@Mark, happy 100th day! your #1 makes total sense. There’s just something that goes on in the brain (a lightbulb?) that says, “It’s working!!!”
Then #2, I heard it said about learning guitar that “Slow is smooth and smooth is fast”. I had to think that one through but now find it to be true. And getting the Fretboard Wizard, is a great idea. I haven’t regretted one moment of having done the course! Taking advantage of all that is before you (even if it seems random to you), will eventually get tied together in one neat little package!!! You’ll be so glad you put the energy out for such a fun skillset. Good for you!!!

@dr_dave, great progress! I certainly look up to you and faithfully read what you do to make it work so well. I don’t think I’ll make such a lofty goal for myself, not having a long intense guitar history. But I also made a goal to pick a song all the way through. I don’t think I promised to memorize it but I sure hope I can someday! Great wins!

@jayb, the more I use them, the more I appreciate them. Good for you!

@albert_d,What happy memories for you and the children! Congratulations!

[Marquita]

Way to go, @AaronRobertsMusic!!! Life does give us challenges. Glad yours didn’t stop you from moving forward!

@Michelle-PSL, I like your accessories… sound effects and breathing in and out… I love that! And 9 more days to go!!!! Do you have a plan for after that? Anything is good as long as it’s playing your music!!! Don’t retire! 🤣 This was so good!

First, Congratulations for your 6 months of playing guitar! You can be proud of your accomplishments! Great timing, vocal and strumming plus the Dsus riff… good job overall!

@Michelle-PSL, Way to go!!! only a short time left. I’m amazed at your perseverance!

This is a good song. Thanks for learning it. You did it well and your progress proves the adage, “you get out of something what you put into it.”

@NorCal_Nolan, what a fun song. We had a campfire song in Girl Scouts and that was the only bear song I knew for years. I’ll add this one to my memory…thanks. You did it well as usual!

@Jumpinjeff,I’m glad you agree. We all need to approach this with a NO QUITTING attitude, or it’s like a kid who just heard the alphabet thinking they can spell ‘astronomical’. They don’t know what it means unless someone explains it and any attempt to spell it or use it in a sentence is a complete disaster. With listening, paying super close attention to the details Tony gives, we’re all bound to succeed.

Thanks, @Alfred! I am working on a steady picking pattern on it… didn’t do as well as I hoped but I’ll keep tackling it. 😉

@EricBog, I agree, this one is better.

@EricBog, definitely not REMs song… and I agree, this one is better.
