    Nice one @Philb ! Really cool the way you integrated the lick into the progression – a good body of work.

    Hi @jbroder3me-com and welcome to TAC. Have you done the “30 Days To Play” course yet? If not, that is where you should go next IMHO. You can start doing courses in the “Skills” section anytime you like, there is no time line for that, just what you can do when you feel like doing it. If you’re going to venture there, I would suggest starting with any of the “Jump Start” courses first (3 of them), they’re a great all-around learning tool for their subjects. As for “Fretboard Wizard”, if you know and understand the “Musical Alphabet”, and if you know the string names (and their location) on your guitar, then IMHO you have enough basic skills to start the course – you will learn so much more from there!

    Best of luck with your guitar journey

    Thanks for the update @Loraine , I can see from reading your latest post that a “speedy recovery” is maybe out of the mix so to speak. What is most important is a good “successful recovery”, and that’s what I’m hoping and praying for, for you Loraine. Your strength, determination and positivity are inspirational to us all, perhaps more so than you know. Keep fightin’ girl!

    Best wishes,

    Bill Brown

    That was an awesome combination @Philb , I loved it!!!! The sound of the full chords in combination with the triads (to me) was mind blowing- no doubt. Thank you for choosing to use triads and showing others how great (and different) they can make things sound compared to the normal. I will pull the triads out again in a couple of weeks!

    Hello @john_d. and welcome to TAC. I agree with what @albert_d is telling you. In addition, I use a comfortable “guitar strap” at all times, even when sitting, to help me keep my guitar positioned the way I want it – that way, I don’t need a foot stool.

    Really sorry to hear about this @Loraine , a true bummer. Can you move your fingers on your left hand at all? If so, you can still practice forming chord shapes – so you don’t loose the muscle memory. Just a thought, to add to your list of positive outlooks. Leave it to you to have a list of positive outlooks to overcome the depths of despair, you never cease to amaze Loraine! I wish for you a smooth and speedy recovery.

    Hey @Marty73 , great rendition! I tried doing some single note riffs in C (Am), but couldn’t come up with anything that sounded half decent. Happy to catch your vids on this new (to you) platform. Hope all is well with you and that you weren’t affected by the hurricane. Take care my friend.

    Great demonstration of vocal range @KevinZ .

    No way I could hit those notes unless I capoed up and sang octaves lower (LOL).

    Hi @jbroder3me-com , Yes you could do both the Daily Challenges and Fretboard Wizard (FW) at the same time, it all depends on how much time you have to spend on your journey each day – doing both at the same time will be time consuming. Or, you could do some Skills courses at the same time as the Daily Challenges. It’s your journey, there is no wright or wrong path. Some people do the Daily Challenges during the week and Skills courses or FW on the weekend.

    As for me, I’ve done all the Skills courses and gone through FW several times.
