Hey @MarkD66 that was excellent! So, your fear is doing a live recording/VOM, fire, or falling in love.

@JoeW It was great meeting you yesterday, and the show was so much fun and well done. Really glad I went, and I hope I’m able to come to Elf too. I love the story. Good luck with the remaining shows!

Sound like a great time, and I’m happy for your sanity!

Great question Cisco. Strength will come through regular practice, but Tony has some great finger strengthening videos in the Skills section in Your Next Six Chords. Under the regular video for the chords there are videos for strengthening your fingers. Great tool to build up strength.

I often just search on youtube by the key and term backing track (i.e. key of G backing track), and many will show up. Some are really quite good.

I love Friday’s, and the barre chords are much easier now than they were a year ago. Keep at em, and you’ll find they come much easier over time and with practice.

@IMPBW I think you’ve gotten some great advice from the others. I had never played guitar when I started a year ago, and I too thought the daily’s were difficult and over my head, but I tried each day, and I slowly was able to do most of the challenges. The 10 minutes per day is the minimum. Once you’ve put in at least 10 minutes, then mark the lesson complete. Keep working on it longer if you have the time. There are days I put in an hour on a lesson, or I go back to it another day to practice it. I have found that I’ve improved quite a bit and I’m able to get through all the lessons now (albeit not at Tony’s level of play). When I first begin the lesson I’m all thumbs, but as I practice it over and over I get better at it each time. If they were all easy, then I wouldn’t be learning through the process. Hang in there and just give them your best shot.

Great win! I’m still trying my luck at improving and don’t feel comfortable with it yet. Getting lost in it is a favorite part of trying though.

Hi @Cisco , it’s perfectly okay to make the chords the other way, but there are many different ways to make certain chords, and you may want to learn them all, because one may sound better in a song than another.

All I know is that the journal link takes you to the 90 planning guide now and allows you several pages to journal.
