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.

@GuitarGeni It sounds like a great practice routine. You sound as if you’re very busy with the guitar and find great joy in it.
P.S. I’m always a little envious of others that have mastered the metronome. I keep playing with it, but it does not always play out well.
Keep up the great routine!

That’s fantastic @Alphajim5 ! It’s a fun course, and when things begin to click it makes it even better. Have fun with it, and keep up the great work!

Congrats on completing FBW. Glad you had some lightbulb moments and learned a lot of new skills. It is definitely a course to be revisited, and I pick up something new everytime I go through it. Keep up the great work @GuitarGeni !

@TMutter Happy 1st TACiversary! What a few years you have had, and I’m so glad I’ve gotten to meet you and know you a little through the VOM’s. You have an amazing songwriting talent, and I’m inspired by your journey and resilience.
Keep up the great work Terry, and I look forward to continuing our journey together.

@TMutter I was going through a deep depression when I found TAC, and between the lessons and finding joy in something and the awesome community and VOM’s I was able to claw my way back to sanity. Not only did they help lift me and carry me at the beginning, they’ve been so supportive during the last year as a caregiver for my mother, the loneliness of COVID, and the passing of my mother in recent months. TAC is more than just a guitar community.
I’m so glad you found us and are here. Your songs heal people, help them express their feelings, and they lift people out of their own darkness. You have a gift and are selfless in your sharing of it. I’m very proud of you!
