Hey there – normally Tony recommends to start with the 5-day guitar challenge: https://tonypolecastro.com/courses/5-day-guitar-routine-challenge/ and then just jump into the course on any Monday as each week is built around a similar song or method and build on each other so bets to start on a Monday.
I go through the other courses if/when I have time after the normal daily lesson, or on weekends when there aren’t any daily lessons. I went through the fretobard wizard over the course of a few weekends and probably a good time for me to do it again. But I also enjoy the other skills and lesson courses (especially the Jam along with Tony area!). There’s no reason you have to do the fretboard wizard early. You’ll still get a lot out of the lessons. As i learn more through the fretboard wizard, the lessons take on added meaning and connections.

I really like the Dunlop Primetone with the raised bumps. I keep one in my pocket and I like the tactile texture. I’ve tried a few different weights and I seem to like the .96 thickness the most.

Rock on lecessandra! THe journey isn’t a straight line and as tony says the only comparison is to your prior self. Stick with it, keeping coming back – consistency is critical. Rock on!

Hey Philb – hope everything works out for the best and that you are able to keep finding solace and peace in the guitar. It’s a magical thing that takes us away for small but precious moments of peace. Every moment playing is a treasure.

This was great – I too like the attack using the fingerpicks. It sounds great. You should get a slide going with all that. This sounded really wonderful -reminded me of Justin Johnson

Hey Braden – thanks so much! I hope you’re doing well and have a lovely weekend!

I also invested in a $35 BlueChip pick based on some YouTube videos and it sounded ok but it sits on the shelf while I use the Primetone. 🙂

Thank you so much Loraine! That really means a lot to me and is so encouraging to hear. I sent you a direct message with the link to the YT video I used to learn the song.
I hope you have a great week ahead! Rock on. 🙂

Cool – thanks albert_d! I don’t usually do the ‘thumb-wrap’ technique that a lot of pros do for barre cords. My thumbs are kind of short and stubby and don’t wrap around necks well. But it worked for this little chord. Hope you have a great week ahead!
