I also want to include this video as an entry to @jumpinjeff ‘s “Funny Guitar Face Challenge”.🤣 I’ve been meaning to do something like this for a while.

Hi @JoeT , I hear what you’re saying, and you’re not the first one to say it. I agree with what @Mrfredsporty is telling you – “you’re being to hard on yourself” and I also think that too. However, I want to broach another point that you brought up, and that’s price.

Before COVID, my sister-in-law and I, together, were getting private – in person guitar lessons from an accomplished guitar player. We each paid $25 to get a 1 hour lesson, once a week. Then Covid came and we continued getting lessons via Zoom, still 1 hour per week, still $25 each. Then the instructor got Covid and the lessons stoped. At that point, I realized that for 6 months worth of lessons, I had shelled out $650 – for 26 hours of lessons. And all I learned was a few songs and a few new chords – that’s it!

So fast forward a couple of months, I’m surfing YT for free guitar lessons (and my sister-in-law had totally lost interest in guitar altogether), which worked for a while, because I’m retired and I could waste all day to try and find one site/one lesson that I could understand. Funny thing about YT is that when you’re in the middle of watching something, a stupid commercial interrupts everything. I kept seeing this long haired hippie type talk about guitar. Eventually I listened to the whole commercial. I wasn’t convinced at first, but eventually I bit the bullet on December 16th, 2020 and haven’t looked back since. If I remember correctly, I paid $360 for 1 year, and that included a 1 time payment for the Fretboard Wizard course also.

I’m in my 2nd year here at TAC and I feel and see the value of my decision every day. I can log on every day and do something useful with guitar – every day! I just wanted to tell you my story to try and give you some perspective about price.

Best of luck on your journey and try not to be so hard on your self🎸🎼😎

Hi @WAMGOC , I just want to wish you an early 1st TACiversary😱🎂😃 and also say that you have a great routine going on, with an excellent back-up plan as well👍 Hoping for the best travel conditions with your guitar journey🎸🎼😎

[Bill_Brown]

Very nice improv @Kitman 🤩 Your melody was spot on with the backing track👍🎼👍

[Bill_Brown]

That’s awesome @Al.E 🤩👏👏 You’re climbing a mountain and the view gets better as you go👍🎼👍 I’m a little ways behind you, but I’m watching you climb, and it’s TAC members like you that keep me going😱 Please don’t stop climbing 🤩

Hi @subsailor731 , My 2 cents. If you feel up to it, you should do as many lessons as you want in a day. The 30 Days is designed to do at your own pace. Some people take more than 30 days to complete the course and some take less. You’ll always have this course as long as you’re a TAC member, so have fun with it and remember that you can always go back to a lesson as many times as you want.👍

Hope that helps😃

Thanks for listening (and watching) @Mrfredsporty , When I did the bend on the 17th fret hiE string, I backed off slightly because I didn’t want to risk breaking the string😱🎸

[Bill_Brown]
