Hi @Powelly , hope you’re enjoying the FW2 course – it was full of goodies for me. The C shaped barre chord isn’t too hard to make. You’ll want to lay your index finger across the hiE, B & G strings, then place the middle finger 1 fret above the index on the B string. You’ll notice that right there at that point, you’re fretting a D chord shape with just those 2 fingers. Do a sound check with that D shape, if those 3 strings ring out clear, then you’re on the “home stretch” of making that C shaped barre chord. Finally, place the ring finger on the D string and the pinkie on the A string in that C chord form and viola, you have the C shaped barre chord.

Best of luck with making the different CAGED barre chord shapes😎

If you want to start a streak @01jcheathgmail-com , you just have to remember to log-in, nothing more👍

Hello @handymandan928 , welcome to TAC. I hope your guitar journey here is fruitful and fun. I believe @Kitman has touched on all the important elements of your questions. I would like to reiterate that you should log-off when you’ve completed your sessions for the day. To clarify, at the top right of the screen where your picture and moniker are located, there is a drop down box which at the bottom is the choice to log-off. It may seem to be a pain in the a## to log-in and log-out, but the workings of the site should be smoother.

Nothing wrong with doing the Daily Challenge along with the 30 Days To Play if you feel you can handle it – it’s your journey and you get to choose the path, but remember to make sure that you feel like your having fun while doing it. That may sound silly, but having fun is important because if you’re not, then you may feel like NOT picking up your guitar. Picking up your guitar every day is important because it creates a positive habit of doing so – which is one of the main philosophical mantras of TAC.

Once you’ve finished the 30 Days To Play, make sure that you take advantage of the other Skills Courses (located along the left side menu). I would recommend any of the “Jumpstart” courses as the next step, and keep in mind that there are 2 pages of these Skills courses – it’s your journey and your path – you can do what ever you want on this site – have fun!

Nice work @Kitman with sticking to the scale technique used in the lesson👏👏😎 You got a nice melody working at the end🤩

[Bill_Brown]

Nice improv @Jonathandavid 👏😎👏 Your melodies complimented the backing track nicely👍 I also enjoyed listening to the way you used the triads and partial chords to accentuate things at the end🎸 Great job Jonathan🍻
