So proud of you @Cadgirl for having completed FBW 2. Woohoo, congratulations! I seem to be so short of time and can’t seem to focus on going through it. I started it when it first came out but didn’t get very far. I really should make the time. I’ve been having too much fun learning new songs and doing the daily lessons and my guitar homework that I’m too tired to pursue FBW. Excuses, excuses. Maybe your completing it will motivate me.

@ohwowmanG I can totally relate to your question, as I reached te same questioning of where to go next and how to move forward toward my goal of being a guitar player. I’m a slow learner, or better yet I am slow on being able to pull all the knowledge together and use what I’m learning on TAC in reaching my goals. I asked a lot of questions on the forums, and I began to research simple 2 and 3 chord songs via YouTube, Justin guitar, Andy’s guitar and several other sites. Find a song or two and focus on a lesson from one of these sites. If you’re a little more motivated to listen to a song to determine a strum pattern or to learn a fingerpicking version of a song or to strum and follow a chord sheet, then I highly recommend Ultimate Guitar.

TAC teaches foundational skills that you’ll encounter when playing the guitar, and it teaches you to build a strong practice routine. To put it all together, you need to learn songs, which unfortunately TAC no longer teaches. That is not their focus.

I do supplement TAC with guitar lessons, and I agree that the right teacher can make a world of difference. I’ve grown quite a bit through my daily lessons on TAC and my guitar lessons – as complimentary teachings.

Welcome to the TAC community @AlteredGoods ! I too was brand new to guitar when I started with TAC 2 q/2 years ago. I began with the 30 days to play challenge. Once completed I moved onto doing the daily challenges and some of the skills courses. Have fun with it and seek answers in the forums.

Thanks @albert_d ! The Voms are so much fun, and they really cause me to try and up my game.

Thank you @T-BAR

Thank you Marty. Realized I played it way too fast, but it is what it is. 🙂

[Loraine]

Thank you so much for the critique – very much appreciated.

Thanks @Cadgirl – It’s an easier fun song. Just goofy cadence and lyrics sometimes. I need to slow it down to Don Williams speed.

Thanks so much for always being such a positive and supportive friend @Kitman !

Really appreciate it @HowardM !
