Hey @Rrrob The daily challenges do rotate and come back around about every 8 months. You might also see a few repeated during different weekly themes if they are in the same key and are applicable to the week.

Hi @tailsawaggin (btw, I love the moniker), that’s a good question and one that I suggest you contact TAC Support directly on. I’m on the opposite shoreline by Philly, but I hadn’t noticed a problem with log ins and credits for the actual day. It might simply be a glitch in the system that TAC isn’t even aware of and probably would appreciate the heads up.

What a great win and overall feeling @Alfred . You’re a family member to many of us, and as much as you claim the community has done for you, you’ve done twofold back. Keep on plunking!

What a great feeling and win @Greebosolo . Keep at it, and you’ll have many more like that as your skills increase. Although if they were too easy all the time, we probably wouldn’t learn much.

Hi Amanda – As JohnV stated, use whichever finger gets you to where you’re going. However, two things. 1) We often find that having the pinky free is beneficial for playing the high e string in accompaniment of a chord; 2) Learn the correct way and alternate ways of forming chords and use whichever one fits into a progression and allows you to move between chords the fastest. An example of this is how we play the A major chord. There are multiple finger positionings that can be used.
I often thought my hands were too small and I could stretch between frets. You’ll be surprised over time at how limber your hands and fingers become and the stretch you can get. I suggest taking the stretching course that is found in the skills section too. It is beneficial to stretch before and after playing, and it will help with those large stretches between frets. You can also capo to a higher fret (such as the 5th string) and practice from that point, because the frets are much closer and it’s much easier to stretch between them.

That’s a huge hurdle and big win @jimp . There are famous artists and guitarists who have been playing decades that avoid barre chords at whatever the cost, because they find them too difficult. To stick with it is great. The transitions just come with lots of practice and time.

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

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?).
-
That was beautifully done @Jonathandavid . Loved the compliments and the use of the scale
-
Very nice – flowed well

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.

I miss the libraries too @dr_dave

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.
