Jacquelyn, looking at the Daily Challenge after joining in July I knew I didn’t know enough to even try so went for the 30 Day Challenge and it was more than enough challenge for me since I had no musical background. Finished it, then went for next 6 chords. After that I worked on a number of skills lessons. Finger stretching ones were especially helpful for my old hands.

Didn’t try Daily Challenge for over 3 months and am now sort of getting it sometimes, and continue to work on various skills lessons when I can.

You can do this, just don’t overwhelm yourself trying to do things you’re not ready for at this time. When I hit something that is too much, I go back to to a skill or chord and click on Play so I can maintain my goal of playing every day. My longest streak was 44 days and I am now up to 43 on my recent streak. Going for it! Cheers

I was just trying to figure out how to do that, although my first year won’t be up until late July. But with 167 playing sessions I’m sold. Your post came up as I was searching and so far hadn’t found any way to do it. Thanks for the timely post.

Thanks Loraine, I’ll keep at it.

Thanks. Good on ya Rando, my problem is more remembering and thus having to follow my cheat sheet to get the right order, which makes my transitions s-l-o-w.

Thanks Loraine, I’m ahead of my former self at least.

Thanks OhWowMan, glad you said progress, as at my age perfect ain’t even on the table.

Thank you Loraine, I haven’t given up, I actually was able to do the little barre F in KC1 Mixed (Key of C) tonight.

[Stickmaker]

Thank you Loraine, I’ll cherish it.

[Stickmaker]

Thank you Loraine, it felt good.

Cadgirl, I have seen the course, but have been working on other courses where I am likely to have better success and keep my overall daily consistency going. Plan to try it at some point.

Thanks Loraine, I too have a bent finger from a dislocation years ago, but I can’t do barre chords with any of the other fingers either.

[Stickmaker]

Thanks Cadgirl, I know what a capo is but that’s about it. Any suggestions on brand, model, or whatever?

[Stickmaker]

I couldn’t do the Bb barre at all, just the individual components of the chord.

[Stickmaker]

I’ve certainly got the slowness, am keeping at the persistence, as well as consistency in terms of times at the plate. Thanks Loraine

Thanks Lorraine, I was being facetious, as everyone successfully logs off every time and I had been at it for 153 days.
