I see that you showing up regularly! Keep it up!
This is a great place to learn, I tried others before TAC and lost momentum after a few months. Since starting with Tony’s program I have only missed days when I didn’t have access to a guitar, -
Haha!

Amazing! Thanks for posting. You’re new here but obviously not quite as new to the guitar!

Wow! I have no idea what gypsperse liquid is but…very nicely done!
-
I have searched but not been able to find this. It sort of rings a bell but I don’t remember where I might have seen it

So cool to see the progress! I think the first video was already very impressive to see you counting through the measures while you were still figuring out the shapes of the chords along with everything else! Priceless!

Welcome aboard! Hope you enjoy TAC as much as many others have.

Not sure what “brand new player” means, assuming that you have been playing for a few months or less. It’s going to take time to develop those no-look skills. It’s good that you are already trying to do things without looking because that’s exactly how you will develop them.
Keep showing up and doing your 10 minute minimum and you can’t help but improve! I have seen so much growth in the 10 months I’ve been playing. Growth isn’t linear, you might not notice anything for a long stretch and then suddenly it will come it spurts. Focus on having fun and trying to get something out of each challenge. Don’t think you have to master the challenge of the day! Look for wins (any size), something that went better than last time or maybe a small lesson you can take away. These things will add up over time.

I think that no matter how good you are, you will always feel that you could get better. Do you enjoy playing? When we met in person I got the impression playing guitar was very enjoyable for you. I have noticed in the past few weeks a big uptick in the pleasure I get from the guitar. I have seen a bit of the magic happen that others (@Loraine for example) talk about, nothing big but just, seemingly out of nowhere, being able to do that thing that yesterday (or last month) I couldn’t.
Perhaps those moments are diminishing for you at your level. I remember when I got to a point as a snow skier, where just going up and down the hill seemed rather monotonous. I wasn’t being challenged anymore and that’s when I took up snowboarding. I found new joy learning to snowboard, at the same time skiing became more fun again because I could do things that I couldn’t do on a snowboard.

I wish the TABs were more consistently featured. Some (very few) show the down and up symbols. Some have the chord shapes but many do not.

Congrats Michael!
I just passed 6 months on Jan 3rd. Lovin’ it so far!

So good to have you back!

❤ Thanks

I see TAC a lot is a lot like farming.
In my short time in TAC (6 months) I’ve noticed that progress isn’t linear at all, it comes in spurts and often when you least expect it. All of sudden I will realize I can do things that I struggled with mightily! You will reap long after you have sowed, that’s why it’s important to not miss too many sessions in a row and to never quit.
