MemberNovember 2, 2021 at 2:55 pm in reply to: 5 day Blues Challenge in a 7 day streak (plus some)Awesome win Nick! A 50 year old guitar doesn’t necessarily mean a bad guitar. Many older guitars are aged well and play beautifully. I have a 1973 Guild that sounds and plays great. But, I will never talk someone down from purchasing a new guitar. There’s no better feeling than when you find one that plays and sounds awesome.

Hi @aisenstadt@msn.com Since it’s a new month you’re not able to access lessons from previous months. I typically save them all as favorites and save the tabs, but you would have to go to my member page and look through favorites to see which ones. I can’t remember the names from last week. If you figure out the names and want the tabs, just let me know which ones and I’ll post them here.

Definitely a great win @Guitargeezer-Jack ! I’m amazed at the improvement I’ve seen the 2nd time around. Can’t wait for the next round and even more improvement. You’re now a true guitar geek and mentor to others with less experience! Keep up the great work!

That’s a great win Kevin!! Keep up the great work (er practice that is). 🙂

Hi @OC. – There are several ways to make the G chord, and it is personal preference and what sound you are looking for in a song that determines which to use. The 4 finger G chord is not new, it is just another way of playing a G.

Hi @801dda – I’ve only dealt with shaky hands/tremors occasionally, but it’s not a constant matter. Other than meditation, relaxation techniques, being well rested and maintaining my diet to keep my blood sugar level, I can’t say I have a solution. If it’s a constant matter, you may want to speak with a neurologist.

Hi Felicia – Welcome to TAC! I’m sorry you’re experiencing soreness in your arm and elbow. What size guitar do you have? If it is too large, that could be part of the problem, and you might consider a smaller guitar. Secondly, how you hold the guitar and rest your right arm might need adjusting. Your right arm should hug and fit comfortably against the body of the guitar. Also, if you are too tight in your stance, that could cause problems. Relax and try and play from your wrist and not your elbow and arm. If the problem continues, stop playing for a bit and rest your arm. You don’t want the issue becoming a larger one, such as tendinitis or tennis elbow. See a doctor if it persists.

The course, itself, is located in the Skills section. If you want additional information regarding it, my suggestion would be to ask TAC Support.

By clicking on the ‘account’ tab, the first question deals with canceling your auto renewal. If that doesn’t answer your question, there is an organge circle at the bottom right that is a link to chat directly with TAC service. Click on it to open a chat window, and then ask your quesstion or state a comment. Once submitted, they’ll review it and respond shortly. Hope this helps.

1000 is no small feat, but whatever the actual number should be, it is a great win and shows your dedication and gives tribute to the TAC program. Happy 7th TACiversary btw!
