Like you said @stevieblues , one day, 10 minutes per day and your doing well. It’s okay to have breaks in our streaks. It is more about your overall playing sessions anyway and the progress made.

@TroyTroyB Fantastic job! Keep up the great work!

That is truly an awesome win and exciting @happyharper ! I still have problems after 3 years meeting the increased speeds. Keep up the great work!

@GGG_GrannyGoneGangster Welcome to TAC! Congratulations on several wins – playing through the 12 bar blues cleanly and learning to read the tabs. You’re definitely on your way! Keep up the great work. As for going past the higher frets, that will simply become easier as time goes on. Just keep up with the lessons and practice a minimum of 10 minutes per day, and things will become clearer and easier as you go forward. It’s a journey, not a destination to learn the guitar. 🙂

@MMMURRAY Your post made me smile, but in a really good way. I remember the same period in playing where they were just impossible to play. It typically is not the guitar, unless you need a set up to make it easier to fret. You need to build the strength in your fingers, and then you need to play around with placement of fingers and your index finger. My suggestion is simply to keep trying and practicing. You will eventually hit the sweet spot and make a clear barre chord. There are many players, experienced ones too, that have difficulty and dread barre chords, but I say they can be fun to learn and play once your do find that sweet spot. So just add it to your daily or weekly regime to practice them and keep on plunking.

Awesome wins @N-lightMike . btw, what does n-light stand for and what is the story behind that moniker?
I agree to some extent with @Moose408 that it is a long journey, but it is so much fun when you hit a growth period and rapidly improve at something. You just have to remember that there are plateaus and periods of slow and sometimes painful periods between the rapid growth periods. We must keep in mind that everything is temporary.

Congratulations on your 1st TACiversary! You should really notice a difference in your skill this year when taking the dailies. As they rotate around you’ll see how much they come more easily. I agree with other comment. Take videos as you go along and look at them several months to a year down the road. Y I ull definitely s we e your improvement. Taking Fretboard Wizard is a great course.

Great question that no one has a definitive answer on. I’ve asked @VictoriaTACTeam in the past. Maybe she can way in. I was always told that if they plan one they’ll give plenty of notice to the family. If they’re going to have one, I’d look for notice around December or January.
