@petelanger @Tricia_Lynn
Thanks for listening, and allowing me to waste your time. I was just messing and thought I would share (not sure why). I have found that as I have played longer, it is fun to experiment with different sounds. Thanks again! -
That’s great. I had learned a few chords maybe 15 years ago, but was too busy working and with life to be consistent, and I had no direction. I joined TAC in 2020 and have found it great for what I needed. I am 72 now, and so starting quite old (and with the usual limits of mobility and arthritis in the hands), it has been a challenge; but playing daily, I have progressed, enjoy it, and finally feel like I can say I play guitar (even though I have my limits). The skill courses offer quite a variety, and once you are into the Daily Challenges, you are on your way. Even when a week of the Daily Challenge has been over my head, and ability, just playing through, the best I can; I have grown. Keep on going and enjoy the journey. Welcome!

I am probably misunderstanding; but with an open C chord; the 5th string (A), C note (fretted on the 3rd fret), would be using the ring finger the way I believe it is usually played; unless you have a different way of fingering it.
By the way; 72 here; I get the challenges with older hands, stiffness, and arthritis.

@lecassandra
Yes, the skill courses offer quite a bit. Whenever you start the Daily Challenge part; which works on the same essential skills every week, Monday through Friday, but with different material; it will seem overwhelming (at least it did to me). Step in, put in your time, do the best you can; and move on, day to day, then week to week. Perseverance, not perfection. I had weeks I didn’t really understand much. It is the daily consistency that, even though it seems to add up slowly, that eventually builds up the guitar skills. Keep it fun; don’t compare; and just enjoy. -
@Bill_Brown I should have mentioned that was in DADGAD tuning.
-
@Bill_Brown It is a Washburn, concert size; all mahogany. It is not that expensive (around $550 when I bought it); but the sound beat out other guitars up to $300 more.

Nice one Kevin! In 1969 I was 17. When you take off in that time machine, stop by and pick me up along the way. A visit to that time would be nice for a short while. Have a good weekend!

That’s it; learn, play, post. Way to go! This one’s a bit tricky; especially for someone newer to guitar. I hadn’t seen you post before, so clicked on your profile. I am so sorry to hear about your dad. I have been there also; though quite a bit older than you; and it does hit us hard. Enjoy music; enjoy the journey of playing; and just go forward at your own pace and way. Welcome to TAC! Keep yourself well.

Pure delight!
