Hi @tony-crane73gmail-com I’m not sure what the question in Fretboard Wizard is or what it’s actually asking you, but if I understand it correctly it’s asking the chord progression of the G major scale.
The format is M, m, m, M, M, m, Dim
So I think the scale would be G, Am, Bm, C, D, Em, Fdim

@michaelsbicycles1gmail-com Welcom to the TAC community. I completely agree with Moose. I remember when I first started how frusting it was with the muted chords, but yes it gets better with time and practice. Pay attention to your wrist, making sure it is pushed far enough forward forcing a natural arch in your fingers. Often times, strings are muted, because your fingers are lying too flat and pressing on other strings. It’s important to play on the very tips of your fingertips. I agree with Moose, play each string one at a time, and when there is a muted string, try seeing if there is another finger infringing on that string and repositioning that finger to ensure it’s not interfering with another string and making sure your on the tips of your fingers. Then replay each individual string again (making any adjustments still needed). Eventurally you hit the sweet spot. Notice positioning of fingers, wrist and thumb. Eventually it becomes muscle memory and 2nd nature and won’t require as much effort.

Hi @Shep2024 and welcome to the TAC community. If you go to the Skills section, there will be a lesson that says Start Here. That explains much of what you probably missed. I’m not sure of your background, but most start at the Intro and follow it with the 30 days to play, then the Next 6 Chords, and then most being on the dailies at that time. But, this is just a suggestion. This is your program and you can approach it however you want. You can take any of the Skill lessons that you want in any order.

@rburke789gmail-com @StringSlinger Welcome to the TAC community !
The current TAC site is only a few years old. In the previous TAC site, there were 3 separate videos to choose from for practice. The current site doesn’t support that. To get the 3 separate video speeds, go to the 1x at the bottom right of the video. The first speed would be .5 (50% of original speed): 2nd speed 1 (original speed)); and I believe the 3rd speed is either 1.5 (150% or 1.5x the original speed) or 2 (200% or 2x the original video).
Hope this helps.

Some of my favorite concert experiences were seeing the Eagles, and I got to speak with Joe Walsh one time on a podcast type thing. Was really cool, but I think I embarrassed him by bringing up his partying days and a few times I saw him in concert during those days. He’s such a great guy though. Can’t understand him talking half the time now though, because he won’t wear his teeth, but he can still sing without them. Great in concert. Glad you got to see the,. It’s a band that everyone should see in concert at least once.

Love Green Day. Great cover. So cool that you did the Artist in Residence thing. I’m not sure I’d have the guts, but you have a great personality for that. I’m going to a jam I found on meetup.com on Sunday. Nervous as hell.

You’re so cute! Love it Beth.

@SoCal_Ian Ian, I hadn’t been on the site in a while myself – Life has a way of interfering with our best intentions sometimes. I’m hoping to be more present moving forward. socal_
I really appreciate your comments, and yes – I can see your smile (I think … I’ve never really seen it, only put a face to voice and torso with a guitar. I’ve probably got it all wrong, but I like to think I know you and we’re friends. You actually made me wmile with your comment.
Btw, if you get a chance to, look up a poem “Hey God, Hey John” by John Roedel johnroedel.com. Someone just introduced me to this poem, and it basically is something that totally resonated with me and was perfect for reminding me that we are all just where we’re supposed to be and shedding or changing is a normal part of becoming who we are meant to be, so trust the process.
Miss you, but unfortunately I outgrew my relationship with the other site. That’s not to say I won’t revisit it in the future. I’m taking it a day at a time.

Hi Marty, I’m signed up on the 7th. Figured I’d get it out of the way fast. Should be fun. I have it in my calendar to spectate the players on the TAC VOM. It’ll be good to see you,
