    Hey Terrry, really enjoyed this – maybe slate for your next EP.

  • Hey Don – yes since we just finished the last lesson for April, the new month begins Moenday. All April material is archived until rotates back (about every 8 months). If you favorited any, they’ll be available on your profile.

    Great routine @Tonia_v Consistency wins. You’ll probably find that you get better playing with your friends than if you only took online lessons. What a great thing to have friends like that.

    Enjoy the strings @Joemama . New strings make it feel like a new guitar. That’s really odd that they didn’t label or even color code the strings. That must have been an inconvenience.

    Hi Gramps – Congratulations on completing the 30 days to play! Sounds like you had a good time with it, especially when the guitar actually sounded like a tune. Don’t forget to take the Next Six Chords in addition to the other courses/lessons. You can take any of the Skills Courses that interest you. The Jumpstart courses were a great introduction to fingerpicking, flatpicking and strumming. Good luck and continue to have fun.

    April 28, 2022 at 10:28 am in reply to: Pink Screen of Death. Anyone having this issue?

    The easiest way to fix this is to just wait until the next day and try again. I’ve tried clearing my history cache, signing out and signing back in, and nothing would work once I received the pink screen. But if I just waiting a day, it was back to normal.

    Make sure you let TAC know of the issue and what message you were trying to post under. They can also post for you if you send them what you want posted.

    Wonderful @Elaine ! That is what improv is all about. When you feel comfortable, we’d love if you would post a video of your improv.

    Sounded great against the backing track just using individual notes. Loved it!

    That’s so exciting @speckpgh ! Reflection on what it was like when you started versus today after 100th session can be so uplifting.

    @Mrfredsporty So happy for you and Moose! A good set-up makes all the difference, and it does feel like a completely different and new guitar when done correctly. Have fun with him, and post a video of you playing Moose sometime.

    Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. I can see where it would seem onerous and difficult when learning to recognize stress, thoughts, tension, and the act of letting it go. I have fibromyalgia, and I carry pain and tension constantly, and it is such a constant that I don’t recognize the stress, tension, and even the pain. I have to consciously think about it sometimes to recognize what are of the body is currently affected (which is usually most of it). I’ve tried meditation, mindfulness, body mapping in the past. It’s probably a good time to look into some new techniques and give it another whirl.

    I’d be happy to either try and post it (I’d go to your YouTube page to view, but it can’t be in private mode), or another possibility is we could do a Zoom meeting and I can watch what you’re doing.
