    @Cadgirl Yeah, I love Jam Sessions (wish they would add to it). Great fun!

    Brandon, I have a very reasonably priced Orangewood Morgan electric that sounds fantastic and very easy to play.

    That’s a fantastic win @Guerra6007 . I wasn’t even aware there was a bluegrass G chord. So much to still learn …

    @Stickmaker Barre chords can be a bad itch (with a b preceding it), but you’ll eventually find that sweet spot and be able to play them. Great win showing up and giving it a good go!

    Awesome Ukulelebug! How did you carve it? How did you get the dimensions correct? Bone saddles smoke a world of difference. Great job!

    Jacquelyn, I definitely recommend the 30 days to play first, and then the Next 6 chords after that, and it’s a lot more fun for beginners, and you’ll learn a lot of foundational skills that you can use in the daily challenges. And yes, they are challenges. If they were easy, we’d all be rock stars – LOL.

    You had a definite win today – You attempted the daily challenge, practiced the minimum of 10 minutes, attempted new chords (barre chords are difficult and will come later in your playing), and you had the lightbulb moment that maybe you should focus on some more basic skill building. It won’t affect your ‘counter’ by doing the 30 days to play versus the daily challenge. You receive credit just for showing up on the TAC site.

    Hang in there, regroup, and start the 30 days to play and have some fun!

    @MamaMedic I’m sorry you’re frustrated. When you say Lesson 1, is that in the 30 days to play or the daily challenge? If it’s the 30 days to play, take a step back, mark the lesson complete and move onto the next lesson. You can return to the first lesson any time you want, but the goal is to keep moving forward if possible and to develope a steady practice routine. The lessons are not meant to be perfected but to progress upon what we’ve practiced and learned. Hang tough and keep trying. You’ll realize in a short period of time that you’re making progress. The guitar is a difficult instrument to play, but commitment to a minimum of 10 minutes a day is all that’s really suggested (and to have fun).

    Nice win @Stickmaker – Never give up hope. It will get easier, and you’ll build muscle memory and soon know what fingers to use without much thought!

    @ErikBog Very cool little guitar. I wish you well in all your adventures outside of TAC, and I’ll see you in AAP.
