Hey @mikemelr1966gmail-com Welcome to TAC and the forums.
The so try to determine how much time and effort it will require for you to go through fretboard wizard and understand the material. So, the answer to you question is, it depends. Every person is on their own personal guitar journey. However it’s important, in my opinion, to still play your guitar on a daily basis for at least the minimum 10 minutes a day that is suggested may not seem like if those 10 minutes are going to help you continued on a forward momentum in your journey I didn’t do the daily challenges when I took fretboard wizard but I did take some individual skill courses I felt it was less pressure and stress to take them I think I took the jumpstart courses for strumming and finger picking and who is one other I can’t remember but to me they weren’t overly difficult to wear it with interfering with me also taking prep wizard and I wouldn’t spend that much time and I’d go through one lesson and practice and I might take a couple of days for that one lesson but that’s only because I wasn’t putting in a lot of time practicing it at the time
The first time I went through FBW, I was a very new player I had never played guitar before and I was not prepared for it and I did rush through the course, and I simply wanted to play the guitar at the time. I think it was a disservice to myself to 1) take it too soon, and 2. to rush through it, just for the sake of completing it. You own it for life, so what’s the rush? If I could focus (have a lot of stress in my life right now) I would definitely go back through the fretboard wizard and take my time and really try to absorb the material and the theory, etc. But I would also still pick up the guitar every day and do something just to continue that momentum I mentioned. Now, to be fair, I did learn a lot, as I’ve moved forward in my journey a lot of it clicked into place just through my lessons here attack and out in a real world playing and it’s just all of a sudden you have that moment of clarity and understand something that was taught. I do believe that fretboard wizard is something that you don’t complete. It is meant to be taken again and again, and everyone says they pick up something new every time they go through it. Many people go back to it annually I’ve been back to it one time since I still have issues focusing so I just figured it wasn’t time for me to really dive into it when I did. I was taking guitar lessons for a while, and we did some theory, which I loved.
