We are very similar creatures Barbara. I too am logging on every day, practice 10-30min and sometimes even over an hour—time flies when you are having fun! I am finally wiggling past the power chords after becoming a member in early January as a New Year’s Resolution to myself to finally learn to play my beautiful Cherry wood Montana cut-away acoustical electric guitar that has been collecting dust in my closet since 2004 (purchased at a local pawn shop after hearing one of the store attendants play beautifully on it—had to have it, and have wanted to find the time to play ever since!!) Now’s MY time 20yrs later.
I personally cannot just fly threw the lessons to keep things new and interesting like some other members are suggesting. I need to feel an accomplishment before I can move on to the next lesson, maybe even perfection…that’s just me. The great thing about the TAC program is THERE IS NO RUSH. Another great thing about the TAC program is that IT IS FUN. No questions asked….totally am thrilled to finally be part of a FUN program that makes me want to envelope myself into it EVERY DAY….or as close to every day as seemingly possible now that all my kids are grown and have families of their own.
I find that when I complete a lesson, move on to the next, and complete that lesson as well—I find myself looking back for a brush up from the lessons I’ve completed. It may take me more than the “suggested week” for each lesson…..but so what. No pressure to do that……GO AT YOUR OWN SPEED. And I also save every daily challenge into my favorites without even playing them, so I can refer back to them AFTER I feel I have learned enough to play them. They will not be available after each month they are posted, so I get greedy and save them for future playing.
So tell yourself…..NO RUSH, NO PRESSURE, and GO AT YOUR OWN PACE. Most of all……tell yourself to HAVE FUN. I know I do, and I love reading about every one else’s journeys too. Sometimes by just browsing thru the Community Support you will eventually stumble upon someone who is struggling with something similar to what you are, and by merely reading about it will make you feel warm & fuzzy knowing you are just like all the rest of us. Enjoy your own journey, no matter how long it takes you 🦋
