Dzuy, Love the creativity, and your fingerpicking and vocals were wonderful, and those lyrics were perfect. Great job @zeebow

@kdmathis Congrats on completing the 30 day challenge! I agree with @ted_h with the Next Six Chords, and the Jumpstart skills courses, as they’re a great introduction to fingerpicking, flatpicking and strumming. I’d also recommend doing the daily challenges. Each week is a different theme and focus, and each day builds upon the previous one. Some are easy and some pretty difficult, but I guarantee that if you commit to a minimum of 10 minutes per day just on the daily challenges, your playing will improve.

@Marty69 Excellent rendition of this classic! Beautifully played.

You definitely found the sweet spot @charlie_d ! Very. Enjoyable.

That is very cool Jacqueline, and stretching before and after playing is key to not having injury down the road.

Keep up the great work Jacquelyn!

Persistence, slowness and consistency win the race. Keep it up @Stickmaker

Hi Terry, I have difficulty too, but basically play notes of the scale against the backing track, and if it sounds good, it is good. You can play any notes or chords that you think sound good, and not in any particular order. Just noodle with the notes of the scale at first, and then as you become more accomplished you can embellish.

Sounded great @Jonathandavid !

That’s a complete bummer @stevieblues . What would cause that?

Such a cool feeling when that happens. Keep it up @Al.E !

Congrats on the sweet spot win @Stickmaker . Not sure I understand the successfully logging off “win.” When you log in, make sure you check the box to remember you. It won’t sign you out as often. Maybe that will help a little, and that would be a definite win. 😉

@speckpgh Welcome to the TAC community. What you outlined is common for many people until they build more muscle memory and learning placement of hands. Keep in mind that the neck of the guitar is angled, but many times we are sliding our hands as if the neck was parallel to the floor. Instead, we have to learn to compensate for the angle of the neck when moving up and down it. Hope having more consciousness of this fact will assist you. Have fun with the 30 days to play!

@CaptainFuture I agree with everything outlined by @guitargenie. It is more about building a strong practice routine and building on progress, not perfection.

Thanks for the suggestion @GuitarGeni – I’ll definitely check it out.
