    The last two challenges I have forgone the tabs and only copied Tony on the Video.

    Feels more like having a personal lesson for some reason.

    If I get stuck I go over that part of the vid again and again

    and again…

    that is how I do it @Timbothirroul . Never spent much time on tabs so I really had to be desperate to consult them. I do take a few runs of listening only and that has helped my listening skills tremendously. I spent so many years as a passive listener it was initially a challenge to transition to a focused active listening.

    I personally like the tabs. I watch the video and then refer to the tabs. If just watching the videos works for you, then that’s great. Keep at it.

    Good for you Timbothirroul. Any way that works for you is the way to go.

    I, however, am like @Loraine, I use the tabs. I practice in my tiny basement where there is little or no WI-FI connection to my home network, so I always pull the tab, work through it listening to Tony on an upstairs computer — making notes on the tab, and then go down to the basement to practice off the tab & notes.

    I usually use the tab all week to go back and practice the exercise multiple times during the week.

    I guess that makes me “tab-dependent.” 😉

    You know I have never actually read any of the TABs so I’m with you there. I just watch and listen. Both are good disciplines to have though so well done on using both.
