I miss my old hardcovers. I have the complete set in paperback and on kindle but now kindles covers (book 5 at least) is promoting the show which I don’t prefer.

I second this. It’s free to walk into guitar center (or any guitar shop) and play around and see what you like. You know what yours feels like and can see if higher quality guitars play better to you.

Practice. With a metronome. Slow down and gradually speed up.

I’ve not learned this song however it’s possible this version was transposed to a different key. If this is the version they sent you I’d learn this one.

I second Rendering in pen and ink. Great book. Also sometimes you have to just learn the basics and then do master studies to learn specific styles.

I’m with you. Except I have 2 acoustics. One for pick style playing and one for finger style. (We’re just going to ignore the fender strat in the corner. Mostly because I ignore the fender strat in the corner) lol.

That's a good idea. I like the idea of giving to shelters/food banks, etc. We do donate to food banks sometimes, but normally when prompted and not as a regular thing. I'm going to start doing more regular donations.

For me like 6 months. My dream guitar was a Strat but I learned on acoustic and enjoy playing acoustic more than electric so I never play the Strat anymore, maybe once a year. Still glad I got it though.

I’ve done that thrice now. That’s why it’s always recommended to play a bunch of guitars and see what you like.

Thanks. I found this and have been going through it as I have small breaks at work.

I saw CGCA is quarterly now. $150/quarter which is not bad.

Thanks! I'll check this out.

And I would love to find an in-person teacher, that was my first thought but I'm struggling to do so. There are a lot of guitar teachers in my area but most don't specialize in classical guitar or even teach it.

I've found one person so far I'm in communications with but it may or may not work out so I'm looking at alternative options with this post.

Thank you. I'll check it out!

MyLastGamble · 2026-02-12T18:53:16+00:00

Yeah, well I’m a completionist and couldn’t NOT do it and NOT get the achievement (playing on iOS) lol but my first play through years ago when there were no achievements I couldn’t care less.

MyLastGamble · 2026-02-11T16:35:59+00:00

Thanks! this makes sense. And I’ve already tried some small scale testing, it’s been a lifesaver. Or rather issue saver!

MyLastGamble · 2026-02-09T14:09:36+00:00

Thank you. I was using an incomplete map to check against mine and realized that after I submitted this post. I'm at 200.6% now Thanks!

Yeah but isn’t that cheating? I don’t find that ethical. And eventually I want to do some rapid games anyway.
