You’ll find that the YouTube bots will match you up with even more new artists (brings them to the front of recommended videos). As long as there is music, it will never end.

I have the problem with the B string falling in the bend in my finger, and no matter what I do, I cannot barre that string. I keep trying though, and I know that you, @Mrfredsporty , and I will succeed at some point. 🙂

It’s like comparing apples to oranges in many aspects. Also, you can compare different aspects of one’s life from before until now, and one finds that guitar has added to different aspects of one’s life (I.e. family dynamics, friends, social dynamics, etc.)

Very nice win @Kitman ! You’ll never hear music the same as before you started guitar.

Challenging win this week @Brian2501 ! As for what key the song is in, I haven’t a clue. I’m not the best at figuring out keys and notes, even though I’ve gone through FBW.

Thank you very much @Mrfredsporty ! Really appreciate your kind words.

LOL, it is so difficult to fret when caped at the 9th fret, but that was the conversion for easy chords. Truly appreciate your observations and feedback @Moonhare

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.

Thank s for listening @Kitman . Appreciate your support, and glad you liked it.

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.

[Loraine]

I really appreciate you sharing this @KevinZ ! I’ll have to try and incorporate some of these techniques. Thank you!

[Loraine]

Thanks so much @Jonathandavid .

[Loraine]

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.
