My Guitar Goal

What I'm Focused On Now

My goal in 90 days is to be able to play a 3 favorite songs end to end using chords and strumming patterns, with an occasional single note string thrown in.

I don’ t know what songs are possible so I am moving into this on an open basis – I will have to learn what and which are possible and then move to learning those, at least on a basic basis.

I want to develop a steady guitar practice habit – one that shows 5 of 7 day per week practicing and continued skill development, and fundamentals – good finger callouses and good left hand strength and dexterity for making chords, good chord progression skills, and good strumming / picking skills to keep rhythms.

My Guitar Routine

This is How I TAC

I will play 5 out of 7 days per week at a minimum.  I may have some weeks off due to travel, where taking the guitar is not practical, but on normal at home weeks that would be my goal.

I will play here at home; most of the time this will be an evening activity.  I will play in the kitchen for now; it has the best chairs and the computer is always here so I don’t have to go somewhere different to do this.
