Sounds great – the fingerpicking is really nice.

Welcome to TAC! I was in the same boat about 6 months ago. TAC has been great. The community is awesome and Tony’s teaching style and personality help keep me engaged and optimistic. Rock on!

I went on Meetup.com and looked for some guitar meetups and found a few in my area. They aren’t TAC related but I’m hoping to go to my first one this weekend. I’m trying to move the needle on the ‘Play with others’ section of my TAC journal!!

Great playing – really clean (as others have said). Thanks for posting! Nice looking studio, too!🤘

Hey – me again. Just wanted to post some of the videos I used as resources when I was trying to figure out where to put my stubby thumb on the neck. You may have come across these in your own research but just in case – I’m not sure if I can post YT video links here but I’ll try. I thought these had some good insights. Distill what you will. Then drink it. 🙂

FYI I went to my first meetup this weekend. Only one other person showed up (the organizer) but it was cool to try and play with someone else for a number of reasons. Lots of social learning and musical learning how to follow someone else, how to find the rhythm of a strumming pattern while muting, etc. etc. Also – I finally learned the main part of “Smells Like Teen Spirit”. I really love that one of the spokes on the TAC Journal wheel is playing with others. It’s so important even though it’s hard to put myself out there and I definitely wouldn’t do it if not for the push from Tony and the being on the TAC journey.
