MemberSeptember 17, 2022 at 5:14 am in reply to: Happy to say I made my 100 day streak! now, for a day off 🙂Yay, way ti go @Cadgirl !! I used to focus so much on the number of consecutive days, and then I missed a day and thr counter started over. At first I was devastated that my streak was broken, but then I thought what matters is that I simply start afresh and keep moving forward. I’ve reset my counter a few times because I was out of town or had other work or personal commitments, but I always came back and maintain my routine.
Keep up the great work!

Welcome to TAC, and congratulations on completing the 30 days to play course. I don’t see any reason why you can’t do the Daily Challenge in conjunction with Skills courses. The dailies cover different skillsets each week (chords, rhythm, scales, etc). You’ll find some more difficult than others, but give them your best effort for at least 10 minutes per day (then mark complete), and you will get better and grow as you do them.

That made me feel so good – thank you very much Marissa for your positive support. 🙂

Thanks Marisa – someday I’ll be at a place where playing and singing aren’t as difficult for me. I do enjoy it – especially this song, which is one of my favorites. I just think things came so easily to you and you’ve run away with playing and singing, and I want to get to that place. 🙂

Really appreciate your listening and encouraging me.

Thank you so much for jumping on this bandwagagon. Welcome to TAC. I hope you have fun! My tremors come and go, and sometimes I can play and other times I can’t. I tend to strum more than fingeror flatpicking, because the tremor aren’t as noticeable and intrusive. It’s good to keep the hands busy though. I think it slows the progression. My tremors aren’t to the. Point I would need medication. I’m on enough meds for other health matters, and I wonder if the tremors aren’t a result of medication I’m on.

Thanks @albert_d A favorite for sure, and yes I was having fun. I really get into it sometimes when the cameras off, and those are the performances I wished I could play and post. That darn red light gets me every time.

Always appreciate your input and positive support @Cadgirl . I was inspired by going to a One Republic concert. I love their music. I think that’s a big motivator – really feeling and loving a song.

Thanks so much for your reply @mpmoran0315 ! So there’s a glimmer of hope. I do my best, and most days I can get through playing without major problems, and the BAM, and my hands And fingers go off on a tangent of their own. I know there will always be periods of respite. For now it’s more an inconvenience than anything. But I know it’s progressive, so I’m taking advantage of what I can right now.

I totally agree @Marty69 ! I’ll have my own picking style based on wherever fingers land.
