Here is your first official challenge! Go ahead and find your favorite chord progression from the tabs section above, hit record, and give it an attempt. Don't worry about making mistakes... just watch the others who have stepped up before you, dig into whatever you’re playing, and post it. But for now just a pic of your guitar and a simple hello would do so we can get to know the player 😃 While we are busy behind the scenes building out the vault and creating a definitive space for this community, we are also seriously committed to showing up in the ways that actually count. And that starts right here. When it comes to the "conversational" side of playing guitar, there is never enough action. We want to change that. So, let’s open up the floor by sharing what we're playing on. Let's see your guitars! Look, sometimes you just don’t want to scroll through pictures of people's family vacations, and you’d rather browse through beautiful guitar pics for an hour instead. Am I right or am I right? Who's to say? Whatever you're playing on, we are absolutely here for it. Drop a photo of your guitar in the comments. Intermediate guitar players are, by far, one of the largest and loudest groups in the musical world... and honestly, we’re sharper than most. While everyone else out there is just "doing stuff," we are actively learning new skills and sharpening the ones we already have. We deserve a dedicated space for these exact conversations. We deserve practical, no-BS information we can actually trust, coming from people we actually like to see. Most of our players here have been adapting to the elements and playing for years. We are a proud group, and we absolutely should be. Check out the "Classroom" Section. Check out the practices with helpful tabs, drop your video or gear pics below, and let’s get this community talking about where pics actually go when they fall down and are never seen again... Catch you in the chat! (The image: My daughter trying to play "Uncle "@Benjamin Wood Jumbo body Epiphone)
