    As DiscostewLA said; start with the 30 days to play, and then probably some other skill courses before hitting the Monday through Friday daily challenges. Get some basics down. When you move on to the Mon through Fri daily challenges, be aware, some of the daily challenges, which follow a routine each week focusing on one of the 5 basic skills, a different skill each day; will seem way over your head or ability. They are for all stages of playing, and they come around again. Do the best you can with the time allotted, and move on. It is not about mastering anything, but slowly building up skills over time. You will build up callouses, flexibility; learn techniques; build finger strength; grow through repetition; and will see when some lessons come around again, how you have progressed. It does work. Enjoy the process; make it fun; and keep going on, day to day. Welcome to TAC!
    P.S. I was 68 when I joined TAC, heading toward 74 now. It worked to turn me into a guitar player.

    Great view! I hope and pray the best for you. I don’t know which treatments for sure you are referring to; but in 2024 I had a couple minor, outpatient surgeries, followed by 45 radiation treatments for prostate cancer. Life keeps moving on, and I moving with it. This weekend, as usual, two great grand-kids over; and a week from tomorrow a hike with some friends I organized. I will be turning 74 in less than 4 months, and I am thankful and have experienced much grace. I am also looking at ways to get involved in some things; which I have always done; remembering to keep reaching out. Whether 2 years, 10, or 20; I need to keep living as best I can. I even bought some new strings for my main guitar today that I have never used before. LOL Take good care!

    @JTSchrock @DiscostewLA

    Thanks for listening, and the gracious words. It’s been awhile DiscostewLA. I hope you are well.
    I should have had this down better (especially the harmonica), as I hurried it at the end on a spur of the moment whim. LOL
    A fun one!
