Hello @andysmith22gmail-com ;
Wow, relax man, take a deep breath. Here are the rules:
1) Play every day… or as often as you can.
2) Have fun… this trumps every thing else.
3) Use a mix of learning new things and practicing old things.
That’s it. So, how does TAC fit into that? Simple.
TAC gives you something to do every day to warm up and work on something new. Don’t spend too much time on that or you’ll become frustrated. It’s all about fun.
Then, move on, using whatever time you have left to learn a song or play songs that you already know. Or, stick on a backing track and jam out playing solos. Or play solos without a backing track. Or, jam out making your own rhythm, whether you record it so you can jam to it later or not. Just play for fun, that’s the idea.
So, what about all the other questions? Where do the Dailies fit in? Where do the Skills fit in? Ok, fair enough. It’s simple. You’ll know the answer to all those questions as you move along your own guitar journey. Right now you are playing as often as you can using skills courses? Then that’s cool, that’s your answer. At some point, you’ll be like: “So, what’s next?”. Well, the Dailies, that’s what’s next. Just something to make it easy for you to start the session every day. What do I do to warm up. What do I work on for a few minutes before I start playing for fun? That’s all. Simple.
So, you see, no one but you can actually answer those questions specifically. The answer is:
Warm up for a few minutes.
Work on learning something new for maybe as long as 10 or 15 minutes.
Play something that lets you get lost in your own sound.
You fill in the blanks. There are no wrong answers.
Oh yeah, the journal. Will it help you? Great, use it. I don’t. Never have. Probably never will. I’m not a journaling kinda guy. But the beauty of this cheeky answer is that I can change my mind any time I want and start doing a journal. Will it help? Probably. But for now, I don’t care. I don’t feel like doing it. Am I making progress? Big time. Am I having fun? Big time. So I guess it’s not a necessity though it will definitely help some people.
