Hi Ursula, Keep in mind that when you re-do the quizzes, the questions come up in a different order each time – so question #3 the first time will not be the same question the next time – the questions will be the same, but always in a different order each time.
Also, make sure your guitar is tuned properly. Use the hiE string also as @Loraine said. On the hi/lo E strings, 1st fret = F, 3rd fret = G, 5th = A, 7th = B, 8th = C, 10th = D. I also used the A string too on occasion. Make sure that the volume on your computer is up hi enough so that you can hear everything – some of the recordings aren’t the best sound quality.
As far as major vs. minor, in the materials section there is a major & minor scale pattern (that are moveable). Once you’ve settled on a key for a song, then play one of the scale patterns in that key – if the notes sound good with the song, then you’ve nailed it! For me, I memorized the major scale pattern and would play that in the key that I settled on – if it sounded slightly off, then I would choose that key in minor as my answer. If it sounded really off, then I knew I had chosen the wrong key altogether. For example, if I thought the song was in the key of A, then I would play the major scale pattern starting on the 5th fret of the low E string. If it sounded good with the song, then I was confident that I made the right choice.
Hope this helps. Good luck!

Hi @dth , to hear a Zager being played, you should check out @JoeW ‘s Play For Us video. He has a parlor style (12 fret), but it should give you an idea of the sound.

Hi @Sungreen , welcome to TAC and welcome to Fretboard Wizard (FW). As @Cadgirl said, if you get stuck on FW content, then go to the Community Support Forum and post your question (using FW in the title), and graduates of FW will be happy to assist. In fact, it’s a graduate’s responsibility to assist any student of FW with all questions they may have regarding any content of FW. I believe that @Dan J K has given you a very detailed answer. I remember the first time I went through FW and saw the Chord Matrix section, I felt overwhelmed also. That’s when I realized I was going to have to take notes to get through this content and make sense of it. So I got a notebook and wrote things down and practiced making my own chord matrices – it really helped. That’s my suggestion to you – Notebook!

Hi @Tommy2Strum , TAC will have an orange message at the top of the page (after you log in). You can click on that and it’ll have all the details including a direct link to the Zoom meeting. And, as @Loraine said, they’ll send an email too.

I click on the member’s pictures to see their profiles – that usually contains information on where they’re from. I found a couple of people near me by doing that. And if it wasn’t for this Covid crap, I would message them to see if they might have an interest in getting together. Just an idea. Good luck @Antrimboys 👍
