That’s the great thing about guitars. There are so many shapes and sizes that there is something for everyone. You could try a parlor size or travel guitar, or even go to a children’s size guitar. Whatever is comfortable for you.

Nicely done @That_Guy

That’s an E-minor shaped barre chord, which means that it is rooted on the 5th string. You don’t play the low E. Barre chords have several shapes that can be moved around the fretboard. All E-minor shaped barre chords will be positioned on the same strings. All you were doing for the B-minor barre and the C-minor barre that differed was changing the frets, but your fingers stayed on the same strings. So, the shape just moved frets. Google barre chord shapes or take fretboard wizard (I think they’re covered in that). There is also the barre chords skills course.

@Daniel_Morin What fun for you and @charlie_d ! I’d never heard Charlie sing before. Beautiful voice that we should hear more of. I love seeing the process and discussion while playing to get coordination now.

You should see a small 1X at the bottom of the screen. Click on that and change the speed.

@PaulL I didn’t mind the rambling at all. The lessons teach foundational skills and practice habits, and the skills increase your overall knowledge and capabilities so that you can play songs. TAC doesn’t teach actual songs, so you take your skills outside of TAC and apply them. You’ve got the right idea to find a song or two to learn. The intro to the City of Achilles song is above my skill level. Make sure you focus on your skill level when you choose songs. Some other options are to attend some of the virtual open mics (VOMs) that are held weekly and see what some other players are working on, Also, there is the Fretboard Wizard course that opens up twice a year (extra cost but well worth it). That teaches some theory and is a great tool for tackling the fretboard. Good luck in your journey!
