@redeki66 (Darrel), there shouldn’t be any problems with you using your classical guitar when traveling in order for you to practice the daily lessons.

Keep finding those golden nuggets and joys @WAMGOC

Congrats on facing your fears and on accomplishing a goal @ted_h . I suffer from social anxiety and am hard on myself too and expect way too much of myself. This was very motivational, and maybe I’ll look for a local jam club.

That’s quite an accomplishment. Keep on doing what you’re doing, one day at a time. Great stuff @stevieblues

Hi @Greg_F_Lee There’s a link for it on the left in the menu (under the forums link)

@Guitargeezer-Jack What a cool fist full of wins! Congratulations to the fam on the birth of Ben! I think a TAC Junior is a great idea too. Waiting on that boys band …

Hi Felicia, and welcome to TAC!
@OhWowMan is absolutely correct. When the first video ends, then click on the ‘Play’ tab and you’ll find the play along challenge at full speed. To change the speed, just click on the 1x at the bottom and adjust your speed. Usually I practice on my own before clicking on the ‘Play.’ Good luck and I hope you’re having fun in the 30 days to play course.

Welcome to the TAC community Ana! Simple matters to correct.
Proper choice of a pick is whatever works best for you. Typically with flatpicking, a more firm pick is used, and with strumming (especially a beginner), a less firm pick is desired. Play around with different picks and choose whichever has the better feel and allows you to play the most efficiently and easiest way.
As for correct posture, holding the guitar, etc., everyone looks at their guitar when beginning, and there is nothing wrong with it. As you become more accomplished, you won’t need to look as often, because you’ll have built up muscle memory in your hands, and they’ll automatically go where they are meant to. Even experienced players peek at their hands occasionally. Ideally, you’ll want to try and have the best posture and positioning of your guitar to avoid fatigue and injury of any kind over time. And good posture leads to cleaner playing. But for now, just do what you need to do to play the guitar.
Hope you have lots of fun with it!

@albert_d Gkad you had a great experience!! I never heard of Richard Smith either, but he’s playing with Tommy when I go too, and it’s good to hear that he was great too.

Congratulations on the EP @TMutter ! Quite an accomplishment. I enjoyed all the songs on it, and I’m now expecting a full LP 😆. I’ve enjoyed being an active audience member at the VOM’s and experiencing many of your songs. You’re a very talented song writer and performer. Keep ’em coming!

Congrats on some great wins Christine! And I know nothing about hockey either.

Good luck with your gig @WAMGOC . That’s exciting, and I’m glad you had such a good week with the dailies. They can be a lot of fun. Keep up the great work and moving forward.

Nice guitar @Fehorse ! It’s great to read these How I TAC, because it allows us to get to know you a bit better and to put a face to a name. It sounds as if you’ve accomplished quite a bit in the short time with TAC. Keep up the great work!
