That is fantastic and a big win @Elaine . Every time I review something in Fretboard Wizard, I walk away with new understandings.

Welcome back @the-old-coach ! I understand the difficulty being away from my guitar. I had to go several months without playing when my tennis elbow and tendinitis flared up in 2021-2022. The calluses will build back In a short amount of time. I wouldn’t worry too much about doing January lessons. Just pickup with todays daily challenge and move forward. The lessons rotate back around about every 8 months.

Hi Noel – Congratulations on completing the 30 days to play. Both @Cadgirl and @Bill_Brown had good suggestions. There really isn’t a right or wrong way to tackle the lessons. It is your journey, and whatever you end up focusing on will be right. I can tell you that I started the daily challenge upon completion of the 30 days. I added the Jumpstart courses shortly afterwards. Then I focused on doing the dailies and Fretboard Wizard, and after that I’ve done the challenge every day and added other skills lessons as I saw fit. But again, you can approach it however you want.

Ouch! Sorry to hear about your skiing accident. I’ve had some bad tumbles in my skiing days, but I only bruised my pride and body. I had tendonitis and tennis elbow in 2021-2022, and I wasn’t able to play the guitar, because doing so could have caused permanent damage. I spent time doing the same things you’re doing, and I spent a lot of time on the forums, and I went to a lot of virtual open mics (VOMs). I practiced air fingering on my fret hand and strumming and finger picking on the guitar with my right hand (the uninsured arm). It may seem like a long time, but your body needs to heal properly.

Hi @gregoran and welcome to TAC! The answer is, it depends – lol. If you have little guitar background and playing skills, then I would focus on the 30 days to play first. Fretboard Wizard has a lot of musical theory and some material thepat you want to really focus on. If you already have some skills and general knowledge, then I would say you could try to take them simultaneously. There’s no rush to get through either, so do what will work for you the best.

Welcome to TAC @powel1018yahoo-com . Occasionally you’ll find a Tab sheet slightly different than a video. There are several reasons why that might occur, but the fact is it happens. I personally go through the videos and practice with Tony, but once the video is over then I’ll generally go to the Tabs to practice. If the Tab is different than the video, l’ll try them both and choose whichever one I like better to continue practicing with.

Very nicely done @Marty69 ; especially having just done one take and memorizing it.

This really hit home for me with the loss of my mother in 2021, but she was gone long before that because of the dementia. Your emotion is raw, and it really tugs at your heart.

Great win! I’m certain you’ll have tons of wins in the 30 days to play!

Welcome to TAC @powel1018yahoo-com , and I’m so happy you’re having fun with the 30 days to play. There’s no rush, and 30 days is only a suggestion. Take as much time as you need. Enjoy!

Congratulations on completing the 30 days to play! That’s an awesome feat! And yes, consistency and commitment are key to playing well. Keep up the great work!

@Marty69 This is one of my all time favorite songs, and you played it extremely well. Great accents and volume, and your strumming is always great.

Thanks @Cadgirl – Jewel stayed out of the limelight for years while she found herself, got married and had children. She’s put out quite a few newer songs, and I love how she’s matured.

Appreciate it @Bill_Brown !
