Great place to achieve your goals, which sound a lot like mine! Welcome to TAC, fellow Canadian.

Thanks for the smiles @TMutter !

This is darn good! I’m reading first attempt and see that you’re new to TAC, was expecting a beginner type video! NOT!
Well done! How are things up in Ottawa? I’m from Beaconsfield (West Island, Mtl) and went to school on the Ottawa River at Carleton (BA 1984).

Well done! Brings back great memories, of my sister playing and the family would gather around and sing! This was on frequent rotation in the late 60’s and 70’s.

I haven’t worried much about sound quality.
I always use a phone. I’ve been going with the everyday phone but recently I dug out my older Pixel 4a that actually has a nice camera. I put it on a tripod.-

You don’t start the daily challenges until you have completed 30 days and the 5 Day Routine which is an intro to the daily challenges. I would recommend looking at some of the skill courses also, not that you have to go through all of them but it’s helpful to familiarize yourself with what’s there and at the same time work on what seems the most useful for where your skills are at. You can visit these anytime.
Have you checked out the Quick Start Guide? It maps out your journey for you. But still don’t hesitate to ask in the forum if you need clarification!

It’s a very good question that I think every one who starts TAC has, but not everyone asks. It will take some time for you to trust the process, but once you do your growth will be steady and come at quite a surprising pace because you can suddenly do things that you didn’t even know you could!

Well done!

Reading the OP’s intro I was thinking, this screams for @Moose408 ‘s google sheet and voila, it appeared!

Which is why I’ve been living in Florida since 1989! I love the snow but not when it’s in my driveway in the morning and I got it get out and I hate the muck on the road, on your windows and all over your car.

I just noticed that this question was posted. It’s kind of in a spot where it’s less likely to get answered here in Tony’s intro to the Benchmark Forum.
I would answer YES and NO. Many weeks you will be learning techniques and chords that are in a popular song. As a new player, after a few runs through those challenges you will know enough to play through the song as you were taught the chords, the rhythm along with riffs and picking or strumming patterns. He won’t take you through the whole song in it’s entirety but he’ll do the verse, chorus and sometimes the bridge and usually give you several options of how you could play it depending on your level. Many have taken this and built it out to performing the whole song in the TAC forum.
But not every week features a song, it will vary. There are probably 2-3 songs per month.

Yes, there’s no reason to feel embarrassed for not being able to do something well! That’s why you are here is to learn!
Earlier on I found myself practicing for an hour before recording myself! NO! Record it early and raw right away and then in time when you can do it much better it will be that much more rewarding.
Why set the bar higher on your benchmark progress? Just set it right where you are at the moment! And maybe you try to compensate for being nervous recording yourself so you’re making even more mistakes and just trying to overcome that. Don’t worry, everybody understands!

Appreciate it! Yes, i am thrilled with this guitar, glad you like it!
