@bixentelizarazu Have you taken the 30 Days to Play course? If not, I would start there, as it gives you a baseline. I wouldn’t worry about speed right now. Focus more on form and accuracy, and speed will come later. Just give the daily challenges a try for at least 10 minutes and then mark them complete. You can always continue to practice them, if you like, or you can mark them as a favorite (the heart under the video) and it will be saved in your favorites (found using the drop down arrow next to your photo at the top right of the page). The starting point should be the 30 Days to Play and then the Next Six Chords after that. They cover basic open chords that you’ll need to know.

Hi @Crowls and welcome to TAC!
Your guitar is tuned correctly and the tablature is correct too. The tablature is set up to show the high E at the top and the strings then follow with the low E showing on the bottom string. I can see where it might be confusing, but it is because the high E is called string 1, B is String 2, A string 3, D string 4, A string 5, and the low E string 6. It seems that this would be backwards, because the low E appears to be the top, but guitar is weird in that the bottom string (high E) is actually called the top and string 1. It’s been this way since the guitar was born, and it’s too late to change it now. You’ll get used to it.
Hope I didn’t confuse you.

@Dirk_R I always watch the video to get the gist, but I practice by reading the tab. Whatever works best for you, you should use.

@Sungreen Have to agree with @Cadgirl . Each time you go through it you understand a little more than previously. As you continue to learn the guitar, all of a sudden you have lightbulb moments and something from FBW makes so much more sense. Just do the best you can and you’ll get through it.
