when to mark a lesson as complete?
Hello everyone. I started late, so I’m playing catch up. I am wondering when you should mark a lesson complete? I fairly new so a lot of this is harder. Do I wait to get it perfect before going on to next lesson/next day? Thank you for any and all help.

Hello @Pappy_Tim , as long as you devote 10 minutes of earnest effort to the lesson, you can mark it complete. The goal is not mastery, the goal is simply to spend a minimum of 10 minutes of focused practice on the daily challenge. Of course, you can spend longer than 10 minutes (and you probably will), but just put yourself in the mindset of small goals and small wins. My mindset is that I suck less than I did before LOL.

Hi @Pappy_Tim ! You can spend as much time as you want on a lesson before marking it complete. I usually spend 10-15 minutes on it. If I feel pretty comfortable with it, then I mark complete and move on. If I’m challenged by it or really like it, I use the little heart (bottom right of video) and mark it as a Favorite, so I can come back to it at a later time. Then I mark it complete. You also have the option of saving the tabs and going over then in the future.

I agree, @Maydog! I mark them complete after working on them for at least 10 minutes, as well. I flag the lessons that are challenging or cool as favorites and try to come back to those for more practice on the weekends.
Whatever maximizes the amount of fun!!!

Hi @Pappy_Tim , I agree with everything posted by everyone! My 2 cents: I spend a lot more time on the Daily Challenges that I enjoy or ones that I want to work on (I’m retired so I have all day) and mark them as favorites so I can come back to them at my leisure. If I run into challenges that are difficult to me, I give them at least 10 minutes or, stop before I get frustrated, and mark it as complete – this is about Fun, not frustration. Most of these lessons will repeat over time, and for me, I can give it another go when they come up. It’s a good way to measure self progress.
Always keep in mind that this is about having fun, while challenging yourself to progress in your guitar journey. 😎

I would agree with the consensus to play the lesson through at least ten minutes and then if you get through it once or more go ahead and mark it complete so you can just jump right in the next day to a new lesson. In my first go round I was not as quick to mark a lesson complete, but in reading the comments and seeing how it is going by completing the lesson at whatever speed I can attain, I think this is a better approach for me.
