Fun song, and still loving the keyboards. I wish I could project and put inflection in my vocals like you. Great performance @KevinZ . Really great strumming!

Hey @philly14 and belated welcome to the TAC community. I hear your frustration, and I was in a similar position when I first started. @jumpinjeff gave some great advice. Keep trying the daily challenges. I had no experience with guitar when I started, but I find that I’m now able to learn the lessons more quickly and I’m able to play them fairly well now. The lessons rotate, so you’ll see the lessons again in 8+ months. What Imfind is that every time they rotate back around they’re a bit easier to learn and play. Just by trying them, you’re increasing your knowledge and skills. As for the Skills courses, you have a big selection, and as jumpinjeff said there aren’t any more important than others. Whatever peaks your interest should be the driver. Personally, I started with the Jumpstart fingerpicking, flatpicking and strumming courses. I thought they gave a great introduction to those skills. Good luck, have some fun with it, and continue to ask questions in the forums.

Thanks for your support Kevin. I’m a huge Sefer fan, and I’m sure I didn’t do it justice, but it was fun.

Hey @stevieblues At the bottom right on the video you’ll see a 1x, which is normal speed. Click on the 1x and it will open up a menu with slower and faster speeds.

Hi Felicia, first great win for picking the guitar back up! I know that once a habit is broken it takes weeks to build back up to a routine. The best way to do that is a day at a time, Commit to picking up your guitar for at leastn10 minutes per day. As for where to start, you can either pick up where you left off, or return to the start of the 30 days to play. Once you complete that, move onto the Next Six Chords, and the daily challenges. The daily challenge alone will give you 10 minutes if practice, and you’d be building foundational skills. There are plenty of Skills courses you could try. I suggest the Jumpstart to Fingerpicking, Flatpicking and Strumming courses. The motivation has to come from within you. Why did you pick up the guitar initially? Do you still have the desire? Set up quarterly goals and track progress towards them. It could be to play a C note clearly, improve chord transitions, learn a song, etc. Join us for the next quarterly Progress party. It’s in July and you should receive an email. Most of all, enjoy your journey and have some fun.

Glad you liked it @BobbyJ . I’m always so relieved and happy when I make it through a song.

I was at Seeger’s final farewell concert before he retired. He played for 3+ hours, and it was hands down the best concert I’ve ever attended (& I go to a lot of concerts). Thanks for your support.

Thanks @Kitman Just glad I don’t have to try and correct it :).

Phew, thanks @Philb I’m actually doing something right, and I’ll take that as a big win in my book. I😎

Really appreciate your feedback @kitman. I probably am using too heavy a hand when I’m strumming my upstroke and it’s catching on the high string(s). I’ll have to resister to it to see if I hear what you’re hearing. Is it a bad thing to have the high string ring out?
