Hi @OldDawg Typically on an upstroke you only strum a few strings (not all that you strum on a downstroke).

@WAMGOC Good going!

I agree @Cadgirl that the skills course is beneficial in understanding exactly what each daily focus is, as well as how they all build upon each other. I think it should be a prerequisite to the daily challenges.

Well, I replied, but it disappeared on me. @ernie-boy, The shapes refer to the open chords and the shape they make on the fretboard. The 5 main open chords are C, A, G, E, D (hence the name CAGED). Those same open chord shapes can be played throughout the fretboard, but they would have different chord names based on where they’re played on the fretboard. However, the basic open chord shape is used (usually as a barre chord). So even though the name of the chord changes depending on where on the fretboard you are, you are still using the open chord “shape.” Hope this helps.

Congratulations on your first TACiversary @Cadgirl . It’s been a pleasure getting to know you this past year, and I’m looking forward to seeing you achieve your goals.

Congrats @albert_d on hitting a milestone in practice sessions.

Ha – I had such a fear of changing my strings for the longest time, and then a selfless TACer took time out of their busy life to Zoom with me and walk me through changing the strings on my guitar. Now it’s a piece of cake. I don’t visit the luthier often, but I should probably start of a rotation of guitars with him just to have them checked up on and maintained. I know a couple that need a good set up right now, and I’m too afraid to try anything on my own.

Fantastic milestone @Lee_W ! It probably was easier than you thought it would be, because it really is just a decision to do it, the small action or doing it, and the benefit from doing it! Lot’s of doing its going on here – Okay I’m done being a dork. Seriously, that’s a great accomplishment! Keep it up!

Beautiful song @AttyTJ – new one for me, and I thought you performed it nicely.

Glad you made it to your sister’s safely and were able to get a rental. Enjoy your time with family.

You’re doing great from the sounds of it @Duane58 ! Keep on doing what you’re doing.

Happy NGD @digenu7 ! If you must travel that much, then you definitely need a good girlfriend to keep you company (when the wife can’t be with you). May she bring you much joy!

@cadgirl, a good set up for me means having everything checked out and the action being at a low enough level for me to play comfortably and making sure the neck is straight.
