@albert_d as always, a huge inspiration! 2,500 Days, if you’re like me that’s probably 10,000 sessions. I hope you keep bringing your songs here for another 2500 days! Congratulations!

What we want to assure you is that there is always a way. Should you ever be up against what seems to be an insurmountable hurdle, it isn’t! You have options.

Are you kidding? First barre chord??
That was so great in so many ways:
- your barres were pretty clean
- singing was in sync and very enjoyable
- chord changes smooth
You graduated! So well done!

Congrats to your consistency! That is no doubt and accomplishment, 700 days without fail!
I’m right behind you! Not with the daily streak, but I’m at 98 weeks! I haven’t missed a lot of days. I went to Europe last year and missed 9 days.

Agree that Loraine should be a good resource. What came to mind though is perhaps looking into alternate chords altogether. You can play beautiful sounding chords on just 3 strings, often only fretting a single note. I haven’t pursued this myself but I’ve seen videos come up on my feed and there are teachers out there who teach it.
If playing the traditional way doesn’t help you overcome your nerve damage, (it might since exercise ought to be a good thing, but I’m not sure) you might want to consider other approaches. Another would be alternate tunings. Joni Mitchell had polio when she was 9 and had very limited motion in her left hand. This lead to her experimenting with more than 50 alternate tunings (many that she invented herself). -
Welcome to TAC, @myknicks60gmail-com
I like this song and you play and sing it well!There are some great players here who have been in TAC for many, many years and we know who they are. Most of us are at the front end of our guitar journey.
So what’s your story? Your Bio is empty, I see you’re at 22 sessions in TAC but obviously a very seasoned player. Would you care to share? This community is pretty tight and we care about each other. I think you’ll find people more responsive to your videos if they know what you’re about.

Excellent job writing and performing!

Many episodes are available on YouTube. I don’t know of any way to watch them from the Acoustic Channel website.

Good point, Tony does refer to both the simultaneous 2 note and successive 2 note phrase as double stop!
-
You’re doing great and I’m not just saying that. You have some serious potential, a very pleasant voice singing on key and you are definitely in a groove in this clip. I’m sure this isn’t an isolated success, there has to be more because it doesn’t come from nowhere!

No you haven’t failed. Repeating a lesson is fine, but I suspect that it wasn’t necessary. If if gives you peace of mind to redo a thing it could help you, so not to worry. Most new comers, myself included (when I was a newbie) think that lessons build on top of each other, and in the 30 Day program there is a bit of that. However, you will see all that stuff again at various times in the daily challenges. They are a bit less challenging in general, maybe call ’em “Daily Challenges Light”, so you will notice things ramp up a little bit (could be more or less depending on which week you come in) but they will be layered so that there is a simpler way to approach it and then a number of options that are more challenging. People get caught up in thinking everything must be completed or you failed. No! Do a small part, hopefully you learned something new but even if you could only muster 5% of the lesson, mark it complete anyhow! The same teaching will come again soon. Weeks do not build up, it ebbs and flows throughout the year and you’ve got bench marks that are repeated 3 times annually.

“Tell us where you’re at right now”
This stat kind of says it: @jerrygriffiths389gmail-com has hung it up a while ago.

Sweet! Thanks for the update!

It’s worked well for almost everyone Moose, no worries! We found out why Alan was having trouble and he should be able to resolve it by downloading the app. Thanks again!

I’m not surprised you can’t understand, it’s not even actual German it’s a thick Viennese dialect which I am quite familiar with and can mimic somewhat – it’s close to my Salzburg dialect.
