It’s amazing how new strings can make a guitar sound like a brand new instrument. Hope your finger heals up quick.

Fantastic wins @Deirdre . The metronome can and should be one of our best friends. I struggle with it, but I’ve committed to using it daily.

MemberApril 28, 2021 at 2:22 pm in reply to: Exercises, Licks, Improv, Rhythm and Chord SectionI miss having access to the exercises too, and they are in line with the other material, because it is material they teach. The daily lessons are great, but I agree that I like to pick and choose what to work on and what to practice/warmup with. It was part of the TAC package that was bought into originally. I’m saving all the lessons as favorites, but they don’t go into organized subfolders. It is simply a list of them. It would be much better to have all of Monday’s speed challenges go into a folder when I favorite them. Have all scales go into a separate folder; all chord progressions in their own folder, etc. That would be so beneficial for me building my own library (which will take 8 months to go through the dailies and favorite them all). I still think it would be easier if TAC just reinstated them so we can pick and choose and then favorite only the ones we truly favor.

Some great comments and suggestions here Claudia. Also, keep trying the daily lessons. Slow them down if need be, but try for at least 10 minutes per day and then mark them complete. You will advance in your skills just by doing this. I had absolutely no experience with the guitar when I started last year, and I can say that the daily lessons really do add to skills and advance them for use in other areas of play. Also, try some of the skills courses. You can take them at your own pace, but they’re set up in small increments. Suggest starting with the flatpicking or fingerpicking jumpstart courses, or even the strumming courses. You’ll feel as if you’re learning new things and it builds upon the 30 days to play.

I don’t like to use my nails, because it just doesn’t feel good to me. I have finger picks, which I’m still trying to acclimate to, but for the most part I still just use the pads of my fingers.
