Jumpinjeff – I was sure not everyone is “lightening fast” on picking up on the daily challenges. Nice to hear that my assumption was correct. I feel more like a snail on my “learning pace,” but even really slow learning with dependency on the tabs is a win from my view. 😊

I have been playing Uke for a couple of years now, and find it much easier than the guitar, even though I still have tons to learn about the uke — but the guitar has always been something I wanted to do. I really started last Sept (with time out for Covid — which pretty much wiped me out with all the side effects of it), but I am getting some of the pieces to come together a bit with some of it it “sticking.” Glad to have you in TAC. There’s lots of variety in the weekly lessons. Some I can do fairly well — others, well I guess my fingers just go “Duh – you want me to do WHAT?” It definitely keeps me challenged. Hope you will find your groove in TAC! 🙂

@MarkD66 – Knowing there are other “slow learners” is comforting. Some of the challenges take me all 10 minutes to get through just one time 😉 — being VERY challenging, and some of the theory stuff bounces right off — not even into one ear! 😆 I still stink at most of the barre chords, but I do better on the minis and am still working on the full barres a bit at a time. I just keep telling myself to just keep hanging in there. I didn’t learn to play piano in just a few months either — took years of lessons, and I still have to practice whatever I am playing lots to get it right. I am one of the folks that loves music, but does not have a natural talent — so the only way to get it is to just keep on keeping on with the practice. Won’t ever be a “performer,” but I get a lot of enjoyment out of playing just for myself! 🤩

Thanks, Lorraine. I really am grateful for the progress I have – even though I have to use the tabs to be able to play most of it. I take good notes on each one, and can work as slow as I need to do the exercise – stop & start a lot on most – but being able to play the majority at a snail’s pace is still much better than I was a few months ago. ;).
