I’m 20 days into the challenge with this song and I’m having so much fun with it. I’ve managed to stay consistent every single day, except for yesterday, but I’m right back at it today. I honestly don’t know if I’m learning fast enough yet, but I’ve set a goal for myself: I want to do a full playthrough before Christmas. https://youtu.be/Gia07f2pAWw?si=yFZBw9HoOfRBkFfC

Christmas company, grandchildren, son and daughter-in-law. But able to get about 15 minutes in practice this morning. Will get some more in tonight and will try to video a little.

I shared this in my Day 5 of the Kickstart challenge and Jake suggested that it needed a standalone post in the Wins category. It really does feel like a win. I haven’t historically had great confidence in my voice but I have to admit that I am gaining some level of comfort with it and feel that it is something I can improve. When I was young - early elementary school - my music teacher was always pushing me to be in the school choir but then when my voice starting cracking at about age 11 she stopped. I don’t recall any specific negative comments but i certainly wasn’t invited to participate as much or in the same way. Anyway, it’s only been in the last couple of years I’ve stated to be more open to sharing anything and I’m hoping to eventually work up the confidence to maybe play and sing at an open mic. This song is featured in the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special where Kevin Bacon sings it with the band The Old 97s. Hope you enjoy it.

Song I worked on: HWNN Time practiced: 15 minutes Win of the day: Finger exercise getting better. What felt hardest: Horse cord strumming pattern with metronome! Tracker link: https://www.skool.com/guitargympro/start-here-guitar-kickstart-challenge?p=fbc7851f No video today.

@Jake Galambos My classical guitar fell about a month ago and I had not seen anything wrong with it till this week!..Turned out to be cracked in multiple spots..So after watching some YT videos here is how I fixed it..It's not pretty but it seems to be fixed!!
