@CaptainFuture Yes, you’ll have to take Fretboard Wizard through TAC to get lessons on the Nashville Number System. Since Fretboard Wizard isn’t currently being offered (and assuming you didn’t purchase it when you joined), you can always Google easy lessons on the Nashville Number System, and some videos and websites should show up to choose from.

Nice win @Stickmaker ! And yes, the Gm chord can be challenging, but keep working at it, and you’ll eventually get it.

Hi @solitaire , and welcome to the TAC community! Yes, the songs referred to are just the lessons taught in the 30 days to play.

As for the daily challenge, it is up to you whether you do them simultaneously with the 30 days to play. When I started, I was completely new to guitar and I focused solely on the 30 days to play, and afterward the Next Six chords, and then I began the daily challenges. That was pretty much all I could handle at the time. Some weeks are easier than others, but then again if it weren’t a challenge we’d all become bored and move on to something else.

Have fun with the 30 days to play course!!

Great wins @Timbothirroul ! Soon you’ll have an arsenal of chords under your belt. Keep up the great work!

Nicely done @charlie_d ! Sounded like a very emotionally charged sad Spanish love song.

Really nicely played instrumental @Marty69 . Great strumming!

@VictoriaTACTeam Heres a screenshot showing the pink box.

[Loraine]

And of course the screenshot did not post with my reply. Frustrating.

@Moonhare Wow! That was fantastic! You have a musical gift, and it’s so fun to hear and see you putting the foundational skills to functional use in songs. I think many of us struggle with how to do this. I look forward to continuing to watch and listen to your musical journey.

Dang, you’ve been busy @Marty69 ! Congrats on a great feat!

Fun is the magic ingredient to succeeding in playing guitar. Nice. Win @Duane58

[Loraine]

@Stickmaker Great consistency and perseverance!

[Loraine]

@brian2501 – Amen to that – not feeling obligated and having the freedom to have fun and do what’s right for you at a given moment. Great win!

@Archie750 Woohoo! Your 1st improv and fabulously done! Congrats on facing your fear and stepping up and out. I thought you did a great job, and it was very melodic with the backing track. I didn’t notice your nail scraping the strings. Just make sure your nails are trimmed back on your fretting hand, and consciously think about the placement of your index finger and try to reposition it where it’s not scraping the strings. This will feel awkward at first, but once the muscle memory sets in, you’ll be free to move about without interference. And as I’m known to say, Keep on plunking (instead of plucking).

@cadgirl If it happens again, please let Victoria in Support know which Forum and conversation were you trying to respond to. She keeps saying that it’s not a TAC issue, but with so many people having the same issue, I’m pretty sure it’s a server issue on their end. But the more people that mention it to them, the more they’ll take it seriously and look into it on their end.
