@69Brian OUCH! So happy it was only a dislocation, but that’s pretty serious too. Even though it only required resetting,, your joint experienced a major shock. You’ll want to take it slow reintegrating use of that finger to avoid damaging it further. It can lead to arthritis and slow healing. There’s plenty you can do in place of fretting for a while. You can mute strings and practice strumming, picking patterns with your right hands, study some theory, identify keys of songs and their chords, etc,
Good luck with the finger, and I’m so glad things turned out to be minor.

Hi @PeterBeGood and welcome to TAC. I believe they stand for quarter note (Q), eighth note (E) and whole note (W)

@albert_d Congratulations on your 3rd TACiversary! I love reading the stories, and you have come so far in a short amount of time. Your performance was excellent. Great fingerpicking and vocals.

@KevinZ One of your best performances. Great emotion, range of vocals, the key was great for your voice, and your picking was really good, as always.

Hi @KevinAppel and @Emjaye and welcome to the TAC community! The program teaches practice routine and foundational skills and by continuing to practice you’ll be able to apply those skills to playing actual songs.

@GuitarGeni It sounds like a good plan, and yes it is consistency. Only you know your limitations and what your body is capable of, especially coming back from a tramatic injury.

Hey @Philb , I’m sorry you’re having difficulty lately. I have tennis elbow and tendinitis in my fretting arm, so it’s a little different. But, I do know that you should not try and play through any pain or discomfort if it could be tendinitis or carpal tunnel. My suggestion is to see an orthopedic doctor and have it checked out. They might be able to give you a cortisone shot to alleviate the pain. You might also have developed some arthritis.

Hi @saskia Hammer ons and Pull-offs can be challenging. Here’s the Skills course Tharp should help you. https://tonypolecastro.com/courses/fretting-hand-toolbox/

@kurtv Welcome to the TAC community! The 30 days to play is a great starting point, and after that the next 6 chords. The daily challenges are Monday – Friday, and they are another great way to integrate into your practice plan. I’m not sure if the planner is editable. You can save it as a pdf or copy and paste into a word document and edit that way. As for website suggestions, I would contact Support by using the link at the bottom left.
