Thank you much! -
Well done! You played it so clean. I did this one a couple years ago or more I think; playing the melody as you did, and then singing (if you want to call it that LOL), to the chords. I found it was a Shaker song they danced to, from 1848 I believe. It’s great how you are bringing out some great tunes from musical history.

I LOVED THIS! First of all, a great song from the past that I haven’t heard in a long time. Then, as usual, you did a great job. That was a treat!
-
That was fine! You must have played some guitar before. Your positions on the chords, and clarity were good. Your speed will improve. Barre chords are a pain for us all at one time or another. At 30 days in the program I wouldn’t even have attempted what you did. Way to go.

@DiscostewLA Thank you! I just need to borrow your vocals!
@outdoorgator Thanks much!

Nice! You are doing well.

@outdoorgator @albert_d @Bill_Brown @Tricia_Lynn
Thank you all for listening and the kind words.
@Bill_Brown That little lick proves necessity is the mother of invention. I lost my composure/place, and quickly improvised to keep it going, then got back on track. LOL It was not planned.
-
That’s it! Keep playing, little at a time it builds, and you see improvement. Recording and posting is a good way to see your journey. It looks like you have only been in TAC a short while. Welcome!

So, so, so, so very good!

Well done, playing and singing! Your voice fit it.

@Tricia_Lynn Thank you very much!

As TerryG said; each day you do that challenge as best you can for whatever period of time you decide to practice; then move on. Each week you will be going through the 5 essential skills. The specific lessons may be different from week to week (though as she mentioned, some repeat); but the skills and techniques you are learning do repeat through the various lessons every week. You will see that in time, your skill in each area increases. You will surprise yourself.
When I first started, the thought of doing a whole song half way decent by memory; whether chords, finger picking, or flat picking; seemed impossible. Through developing my skill in the techniques taught weekly; I am able to do so now. It builds over time with consistency and sticking with the process. I was so encouraged when I could play through the many chords of Hotel California (with bass lead ins), in a proper order, and with decent timing. It hit me that though it seemed like I was not gaining much at times day to day; it was indeed happening. Enjoy the journey, and you will see you can play.

Way to go! Good to see you playing again.

Yes; as Moose408 said; download, set to unlisted; then make a post in the Forum section of TAC. Write a title and description; then copy and paste the link. I have found it challenges me, and has helped with progress.

It takes me a long time sometimes, to move from one place to the next; but that is okay. There are many on here whose journey and playing is beyond me (or you at this point). It is great to see their posts and use that as fuel to move forward. Take good care!
