@Dirk_R Knowing you, you’ll probably be jumping to get back to the guitar and be super motivated. Let us know when you’re surgery is scheduled. You might want to consider that smaller bodied guitar we all discussed previously. Hang in there (and breathe).

Very sorry to hear that @Dirk_R . I had rotator cuff surgery years ago, and it was over a year of recovery to where the shoulder was back to what I would consider normal. You’ll have to work on building skills with just the opposite arm during that 6 week period. Might be a good time to revisit some music theory too. Good luck with it!

Terry, I use Nomad string cleaner. Very easy to use, and it smells great.

Has happened to a few of us. Make sure you let support know, because they don’t believe it’s happening or that it’s their fault. I believe it is a server issue and they need to look into it on their end.

Great enthusiastic blues song. Well written and performed @KevinZ !

Hey @Nmurph333 all the lessons for a particular month are available only during that month. However, as @Guitargeezer-Jack pointed out, if you favorite them, they’re available to you anytime. I have the January classes favorited, and you can check them out through my profile. Hope you find what you’re looking for.

Fantastic performance @ErikBog ! Beautifully played – very smooth and great intonation and feeling. What classical guitar are you playing? For such a small guitar , you get fantastic volume and sound from it.

[Loraine]

You did such an awesome job on this @TMutter . It was so fun to watch you play this. Great all around performance!

Hi @LisaH Youve had a rough go of it the past 2 months. Give yourself some much needed patience and TLC. You’ve just been put through the wringer. You may have to backtrack a bit, but from my experience you should come up to speed in a short time.

[Loraine]

Hi @AnneN and welcome to TAC and the community! If you have little or no experience with the guitar, I would recommend starting with the 30 days to play.

[Loraine]

Sounds great @Marisa ! New song for me, but your performance was great.

[Loraine]

Happy NGD, and welcome back @SWeissman013 ! Sounds like you’re off and running!

Great win Jacquelyn – Yes, definitely stretch as much and often as possible, especially with arthritis. It may actually help with it. I have bad tennis elbow and tendinitis right now in my fretting arm, and I think it’s because I wasn’t stretching enough.

[Loraine]

Nice to hear that you already knew the chords Jacquelyn – That’s 80% of the battle right there.
