Sheryl Crow recorded so many great songs, didn’t she?
Thanks for posting! I can’t imagine how hard it must be for you, but you’re plowing through it, kudos!

The forum is searchable, but not much else unfortunately. The members list can be searched by location, but not by name or any other criteria. You can sort the members a few ways (recently active, alpha) but that’s rarely helpful since there are nearly 4000 members. Sometimes you can find something if you know it involves a certain member’s participation and you can browse through their activity.

I too am not at all familiar with the band or their music. Sounds like an interesting song from I assume the Southern Rock genre. It’s good to see and hear you playing again @Loraine !

Thanks for stopping by @5StringSB !
It’s in the TAC song vault which I’ve linked to:

Read your bio and it made me smile. I also play Connections and Wordle every day, but usually not to start off. About your challenges, @Moose408 created a googlesheet that has links to essentially all challenges.
“Can’t Find My Way Home” (Blind Faith – Steve Winwood) was in drop D, was it that week?

I can always count on you to follow up with a link! Thanks @Moose408 !
I like that you post your link since it’s nicely and conveniently updated, while my copy remains static.

The only way in is with that link, it isn’t available on the TAC site. I got it last year from @Loraine (I believe) and I bookmarked it in my guitar tab. I’m on here everyday so not much gets by me, lol!

I’ve been living in Florida since the late 80’s but I somehow missed Old Scarecrow but I like the Southern Rock style. I’ve been working on a Lynyrd Skynyrd song for weeks that I’m hoping to post eventually.

Now that’s tricky to not only not mute with the ring finger but fret the high E with your index finger on the 2nd fret. I can’t do this cleanly but I can’t get it working with some buzzing. But I see where if you able to bend the first knuckle of your ring back slightly, so that the finger is no longer straight, this would be quite easy to do. Some people naturally have this ability and perhaps it can be “developed” to a small degree.

So lets look at this: playing the chord the way Tony shows us in the challenge:
B, F#, B, D# (the high E string is muted)if played it would be a G# so the chord would be:
B, F#, B, D#, G#
I have tried to figure it out from what little music theory I have learned; I hope somebody more informed than I can validate what follows or correct it. Based on the ear test, I would say it fits! If I am on the right track the B major scale consists of, using the formula “tone-tone-semitone-tone-tone-tone -semitone”:
B C# D# E F# G# B
For the B chord you need:
Root: B
the 3rd: D#
the 5th: F#
The G# is in the scale so it definitely doesn’t clash, but it isn’t required because you already have the basics of the B chord.

@vivianetessierme-com thank-you for watching! Fingers are slow, having to do a lot of repetitions to try and up my transition speed. I am slowly improving. I wish I had done it when I was young. I wanted to but I didn’t ask my parents for whatever reason. My older sister started at 13, she got pretty good and the whole family would gather in the living room to sing along with the songs she had learned. The few that I remember are listed here, but she played many, many more back in the late 60’s.

I share in your disappointment. Nonetheless, I was aware of this when I converted my membership to lifetime. I find that despite some shortcomings, it is still the best value out there because the lessons are that good. He has the them structured in a layered fashion so that beginner to advanced players can benefit. I really wish the communication were improved though. The only lively place is in the challenge area and that is very fleeting with only minimal engagement among the students (there are actually hurdles to overcome if you want to post more than once in the same challenge). At the end of the week all the interaction (mostly one-sided) gets flushed!

This is an old thread and I’m not sure who the question is for or even what the question is.
