If you’ve done the 30 days to play I would jump into the Daily Challenges beginning this coming Monday. I joined TAC about 40 days ago, did the 30 days and then started the Daily Challenges. I just finished my 2nd week of them and have learned a lot! Some of them I was able to do, others were way above my current skill level but all of them taught me something that I can use later and forced me to try new things, which is the whole point of TAC as I see it.

@amcmurtrietwcny-rr-com -rr-com and @Mark_S Welcome to TAC, and congratulations on completing the 30 days to play and the next 6 chords.
Mark makes a great suggestion in starting with the daily lessons, but first you might want to take the skills lessons, 5-Day Guitar Routine Challenge, which actually explains how the daily lessons work. The daily Stretches for Guitarists should be mandatory to avoid injuries. I got tendonitis and tennis elbow from playing and had to hang up the guitar for several months. It was torture.
The following is what TAC suggests, “After the 3 minute TAC <strong style=”background-color: var(–bb-content-background-color); font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; color: var(–bb-body-text-color); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;”>Quick Start orientation, begin your guitar journey with the <strong style=”background-color: var(–bb-content-background-color); font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; color: var(–bb-body-text-color); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;”>30 Days to Play challenge to learn the basics and to begin building your daily 10 minute guitar routine. Once you’ve completed that, begin the <strong style=”background-color: var(–bb-content-background-color); font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; color: var(–bb-body-text-color); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;”>5-Day Guitar Routine Challenge where Tony takes you by the hand and guides you through your first week of daily challenges. Once these are complete, you’re ready to dive into the TAC daily guitar challenges! Use <strong style=”background-color: var(–bb-content-background-color); font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; color: var(–bb-body-text-color); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;”>Your Next Six Chords when you get curious about adding the most common chords to your arsenal. Use <strong style=”background-color: var(–bb-content-background-color); font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; color: var(–bb-body-text-color); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;”>Daily Stretch for Guitarists at any point your hands, shoulders, or back start to feel sore or stiff.”
The daily lessons have a different theme each week, and each daily lesson builds upon the previous days lessons. The lessons cover speed challenges, technique, scales and improv, rhythm, and chord progressions.
You can delve into the Skills section anytime you want. There’s no order to taking lessons; Whatever interests you. I will say the Jumpstart to fingerpicking and Flatpicking, and the Strumming courses were great intros to those skills, and you’ll actually learn songs in the Jumpstart classes.
Good luck, and have fun.

Loraine: I’m not sure if you got the “THANK YOU” I sent, but wanted you to know I appreciate your help. I located the Strumming course but not able to find the fingerpicking and flat picking course. Can you shed some light? Thanks again.

@amcmurtrietwcny-rr-com I happened to look at your post again, and I saw you responded. To make sure the person you are addressing knows you’ve responded, start the conversation with an ampersand sign @ and their name so that person receives a message that there’s a response or message to them. This turns it into a highlighted name like yours at the beginning of this message, and the person wiill receive a notice in the upper right corner in the bell looking icon.
To find the fingerpicking and flatpicking courses, look for <i style=”font-weight: bold;”>Jumpstart to Flatpicking and Jummpstart to Fingerpicking in the Skills section. There is more than one page to the Skills section, so you might need to go to the next page. I’ll double check to make sure they’re still available too, but I don’t see why they wouldn’t be. They’re very popular.
Hope all this helps. Let me know if you need anything further. 🙂

Thanks @Loraine for the reminder about the Skill Courses! I remember looking at them but once I finished the 30 days… I never circled back to them. I’m now going to go through the </font>flat-picking<font color=”#ffab41″> and </font>finger-picking courses as well as the strumming. They are a great addition to the daily challenges.
