Glad you found a little light that opened the door back up @Zoso , and we all go through periods like that. Keep reminding yourself when you’re in a fog and the joy is missing that this too shall pass, and things will get better. Sometimes it requires that we break out of our daily routine and do something different (just as you did with the speed challenges). It might mean finding a new song to learn from the big wide web or a book. It might mean doing some theory, or researching guitars or luthiers, or artists and their influences. It’s okay to take a break from routine to kick start our joy again.

Very nice melody and use of the scale. Love listening to your composition

[Loraine]

Extremely well done Dan. Quite beautiful and melodic, and I envisioned a young child running through a field with long grass with there arms out pretending to soar and turn (didya miss my visuals Dan?).

[Loraine]

That was beautifully done @Jonathandavid . Loved the compliments and the use of the scale

[Loraine]

Very nice – flowed well

[Loraine]

Nice! I like the incorporation of the scale in many different ways

Wow, what a great bunch of #smallwins Doug, and I’d gladly act as a chaperone to you and your wife, if needed.

Have fun, and keep the good times rolling and the #smallwins coming.

Thank you for taking the time to write this up @Michelle-PSL . This helps others as much as it helps you to share them. I’m glad you didn’t give up after what you thought was a failure, which turned out to simply be a learning experience for you to not be too hard on yourself. I was blown away in your Day 100 post when you said that there were days that you did upwards of 40 takes to come up with a viable video to post. I can’t imagine doing that over and over, day in and day out, and we would have certainly understood if you had errors and hiccups in your performances. My heart goes out to you for that effort. But, just think of all that extra practice you got in (I’m smiling right now, because this is meant to be facetious).

Anyway, you’re definitely an inspiration to many. Albeit, not the extent that I want to tackle this type of challenge, but to the perseverance and your positive attitude.

Awesome freat @AttyTJ

[Loraine]

Excellent job @KevinZ . I haven’t heard this song in a long time, and you definitely got the emotion down with your playing and vocals.

[Loraine]

Hey @BethL – Very nice win, and I agree. I couldn’t make it through this one the last round, but after some very serious consideration and trial and error, I made it through the lesson.

[Loraine]

Beautiful guitar @rob8584

[Loraine]

I would think they would be available for viewing, because the purpose is to show off your guitarsenal and your love of the guitar and Tony’s Acoustic Life podcasts.

Hey @Tom000-18 you’ll know when it’s open by comments in the forum, and Tony will announce it during the 1st Wednesday of whatever month he does his shows for us (used to be monthly, but I believe they’re only doing them quarterly now). I believe you’ll see it in the emails from TAC too.
