Hi @Powelly , and welcome to the TAC community! If the lesson is in the current month, then you’ll be able to click on it in the menu aloft lessons on the left side. If the month has passed, then @jumpinjeff is correct. To be safe, always favorite a lesson you want to revisit. It will show up in your favorites within your profile. But, there is always a chance someone else has favorited a lesson, and yes you can search their favorited lessons, BUT, you’ll need to know the name of the lesson, and it helps to know what type of lesson it was (scales, rhythm, chords, etc.).

Way to go @kurtv , I’ve only tried improv a few times, but it was fun to noodle around.

Hi @seeks Belated welcome to the TAC community! Sounds like you’re off to a good start. I’m not sure what you need or want to talk about, but I’d be willing to have private messaging discipussion with you. That involves going to your name/icon at the top of the page and clicking the down arrow and then choosing messages, new. You’d then search for me by my username, loraine, and type a message in and hit send. It’s much like email. To know if you’ve received a response to a post or a message, you’ll see a small red icon at the top right of the page next to the small bell symbol. If you click on that it will show you any responses to your posts that you were tagged on (tagged on means using the @ sign with the user name following it) and then choosing that person when the pop up appears) or in a direct message.
As for knowing if you’re improving, you can’t not have improved if you put in the minimum of 10minutes per day or more. Think back to when you first started …. Do you know more than you did then? Do things come a little easier as time goes on (not counting challenging lessons, but foundational skills)? Then you’ve improved. It takes a while to learn the guitar. It’s not an easy instrument to learn, but Tony simplifies the foundational skills and breaks them down to small lessons that are doable.

@Clouds Welcome to the TAC community, and congrats on completing the 30 days to play course. Great job jumping right into the daily challenge and tackling the lesson. Always good to do scales and palm muting is the added bonus. Great win today!

Appreciate it @Philb & @stevieblues ! Phil, you should attend VOM and just listen and be supportive. They’re great entertainment
-
@rando Totally feel for you. The good thing is that it gets easier as we strengthen and train our fingers.
-
Yeah baby! You make it look and sound so easy @Daniel_Morin . Very enjoyable.
-
Nicely done @Philb . Sounded good to me.
-
Yeah, I have yet to “master” a daily. I put in the 10 minutes and mark it complete and usually practice a little longer if needed, but I never shoot for perfection. To be it’s more about learning foundational skills that build upon each other as a week progresses. You’ll be surprised when the lessons cycle back around and you’re able to do something that baffled you initially.

@cadgirl, I’m not sure why you wouldn’t have a channel if you’ve already uploaded videos. That is what begins the creation of a personal channel. I think even saving or favoriting videos creates a channel. Go to your account (click on your icon at the top of page) and it will show whether you have a channel.

Thank you so much for your kind words @Cadgirl and @Bill_Brown . This is one of favorite songs by the Goo Goo Dolls. And the timing when I play with the recording is a little off. Should be slightly faster. I thought I had the strumming worked out, but I was so tense in the shoulder and arm/wrist area, and it really affected my strumming. Oh well, can only get better (I hope). And Bill, I’m a great believer in fake it till you make it when it comes to nerves. I’d make a great actress in that regards.

Welcome to the TAC community @HeyJude ! Typically you just click on the video in the post and it will start playing. To go to the video in YouTube, you would click on the title in the video posted on TAC. Occasionally there will just be an address listed in the post, and you’ll have to copy and paste it in a windows address line and hit enter. It will then take you to the video.

Really appreciate your vote of confidence @Marty69 !

Thanks so much @KevinZ , I’d be open to the link you mentioned. Why don’t you sent it through private messaging though.
