@Jake Galambos I have been using Dunlop Max-Grip 0.60. I watched the most recent office hours video, and you recommended a thick pick to practice strumming lightly. I will try it out! Could you specify the thickness, or any thick, firm pick will do?
DAY 7 🎸 Guitar Kickstart Challenge
You made it. Day 7 is the biggest milestone in this whole challenge. Most players never get this far, so seriously, let that land for a second. This is the point where consistency starts turning into a habit. From here, send me a DM with the link to your tracker so I can confirm you for the group call. If you completed all seven 7, you’re officially qualified. I’ll add you to the roster, and once everyone’s confirmed for the month, we’ll lock in the time and details. You’ve already proven you can do this. Now you’re just cashing in on the momentum you built. Keep going. You didn’t need perfect days to get to your goal, you just needed to keep playing. Today’s tasks ✅ Pull out your guitar, do your workout, practice your song, or just play ✅ Record a short clip of the easiest thing you played ✅ Record a short clip of the hardest thing you played ✅ Post your 7-day reflection comment ✅ Update your tracker Template Song I worked on: [song] Time practiced: [minutes] Win of the day: [something small that went right] What felt hardest: [honest moment] What I learned this week: [reflection] Tracker link: [insert link] Don’t forget to upload your video for today in your post.

Song I worked on: HWNN, Workout 6 Time practiced: 22 Win of the day: Practicing What felt hardest: Staying on beat... got a little frustrated. Will work on this again tomorrow. What I learned this week: Following a routine is very helpful and effective. It's only been 7 days, but I already feel myself getting better! Now I can apply these exercises when learning a new song or use this method to work on old songs that I struggled to play.

@Jake Galambos I don't like the sound that it makes. Sometimes, I'm only able to catch 1 string. I think I have a habit of digging too deep when I'm strumming up or I'm not light enough and I'm not sure how to fix it.

@Jake Galambos Yeah... the twangy sound. Will keep this in mind. Thanks!

Song I worked on: HWNN, Workout 6 Time practiced: 15 Win of the day: Close to playing on tempo What felt hardest: 124 bpm felt very fast. I wasn't able to stay on beat through the whole 3 minutes. I kept messing up...

@Jake Galambos Yes!! I do feel like its getting easier by practicing every day. The chord change was hard at first, but after 20 mins of doing the exercise repeatedly with a metronome, I got the hang of it :)
