This was great @Kitman ! Timing, fluidity and flatpicking all nicely done.

You made me cry @BethL . I know the challenges you’re dealing with your mother, and I wish I had your skills at working through it with your songs. You’re helping me heal with songs like this. Thank you! This was quite beautiful, and I think it’s your best to date.

Fantastic wins @BobbyJ ! Welcome to the TAC community and congratulations on completing the 30 days to play! Yes, this was a challenging week of daily’s, but you did it, and just putting the effort in and trying is a huge win! Some weeks will be more challenging than others, but when the lessons cycle back around in 8-9 months, you’ll really be able to gauge your progress. Keep on plunking away!

Like you, if it is a bit more challenging and I’m able to slay the beast, or at least make progress on it, then it is so gratifying. Keep up the great work @alphajim5

Great win @Mrfredsporty . It’s beneficial to know how to flatpicking, as well as fingerpick.

2 weeks without a guitar may seem like forever, but it’s like getting an all new guitar back. Try switching out the strings for a different gauge. One solution to buying a 2nd guitar is to look at resale shops. I bought 2 inexpensive guitars that way through Goodwill. You’d have a guitar to fall back on when these things arise. I’d give you one of them if you were nearby. That’s another option is to borrow one from someone or even rent one while your guitar’s in the shop.

@J.Dubs For the daily challenges don’t spend an exhorbitant amount of time on tHem. Spend a minimum of 10 minutes on a lesson and then mark it complete. You can continue working it if you like or move onto something else (a song you’re trying to learn, a skills course, scales, etc.). As Bill mentioned, all the daily challenge lessons cycle back around about every 8-9 months, and you’ll be able to see your progress then by how much easier some of them can be played. You’ll have so many foundational skills built up that you’re able to work the challenges more accurately and faster. THe goal of the daily challenges is progression, not perfection. Just give them your best shot during the 10-20 minutes you might spend on them.
