Hi @michaelmjdverizon-net welcome to the TAC community. I’m sorry you had difficulty knowing where to go. As you did here, you can always reach out to the community for guidance, and you can reach out through the customer service help button at the bottom the support button and start a chat, and Victoria will get back with you fairly fast.
There are two great places to start. The first is on the left with the icon that looks like a map, which is a Quickstart guide. The other is in the Skills courses, the icon the left which kinda looks like a Flip chart thing. You’ll find <b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;”>Learn the Basics Courses, which is a great road map. It covers all the basics of the program. It should guide you from the 30 days to play to the next six chords to the five day challenge which does cover the five different areas that you mentioned and once you’ve got through the basics then the next step would be to start the daily challenges and that’s where you’re gonna see those five areas covered every week, it follows the same pattern.

Beautiful in almost a haunting manner.

Hey Barbara, I think many of us have experienced that. Maybe you need a break. Often times taking a sabbatical is just what is needed. We all hit plateaus, go through periods we do feel we’re going the wrong direction. You sound bored and need something to revive itself. I say take a week or two off and see if that helps. You could try a new song, practice ear training, pick up another instrument to try.

Hey @crabbyblue11 . Picks just take time to get comfortable with. Depending on your play level, newer players typically start with more flexible picks (.46 – .72). Eventually players do go with a harder pick, because they’ve mastered strumming and or they are picking, and a firmer pick works best for that. My suggestion is to buy several variety packs from different manufacturers and try them out. It’s typically a personal choice. I haven’t mastered a thumb pick or finger picks, so I can’t really contact.

Hey Pete, I had recently read this and was surprised. Like many, I thought it was Olde Crowe Medicine Show.
Dylan is a great lyricist and writer but not a great singer, especially the last 20+ years. He mumbles and can’t be understood. I heard he just booked a year long tour as a headliner. I almost choked on my dinner from laughter.

Thank you. I missed that completely.
-
Huh? I’m sorry, I don’t understand what you’re saying.
-
That is probably one of the nicest things anyone has said to me. It means the world to me. Thank you.

It’s a great song, thats for sure. Thank you Terry!

I love John Hiatt. I actually had a ticket to see him a year ago. I was going to have to go to a Casino in New Jersey (I’m in the Philly area), but I have a medical condition that makes it dangerous to drive at times. I was having episodes and wasn’t able to safely, so I missed the show. I wrote his agent to find out if he would be touring again, but his agent said not in the upcoming year. I’m hoping to get the opportunity after the year.

Appreciate that! It’s good to be back and somewhat playing. 🙂

Hey Pete. Yes, it gives a better grip on the pick, because picks turn in my fingers and goes sideways, and I do lose the puck at times.

One of my favorite lines too. Thanks Terry
