Hello @Kitsman – Welcome to the TAC Community! Both Loraine and Cadgirl provided sound advice about Daily Challenges. Let me offer several suggestions about getting the most out of your first months with TAC. I am just 11 months in with 322 playing sessions but still think of myself as a newbie.
If you have not viewed “TAC Quick Start” (find it in page 2 of Skills Course section) do so. Tony tells you how to navigate within TAC and set your own goals (intentions).
Second, I found these other skill courses very helpful prior to focusing primarily on Daily Challenges:
After completing “30 Days to Play” go to the skill course”5 Day Guitar Routine Challenge”. Tony instructs you HOW TO DO the Daily Challenges. This was added to TAC some months after I joined. I watched it recently and realized if I had done it early on, it would have helped doing my initial Daily Challenges!
Other skill courses to consider early on are the “Daily Stretch for Guitar”, “Fretting Hand Toolbox” and “Your Next Six Chords”.
Don’t go for perfection with any of these and especially Daily Challenges. If you are a guitar novice it takes time and consistency to build up the physical endurance and muscle memory as well as exposure to guitar techniques and the magic of the fretboard (“Fretboard Wizard” is a must once you go through the initial skill courses – I’ve done it twice and likely will do it again). Tony indicated FW 2.0 is to be released this year.
Lastly, I encourage you to attend the next 90 Day Progress Party on April 6. It is really fun to interact with Tony live and have a small group discussion with fellow TAC members. It allows you to reflect on what you have already accomplished and set personal goals for the next 90 days.
I congratulate you @Kitsman for reaching out for advice from those of us sharing the TAC experience, each at our own pace and in our own unique way.
Play on!
