The Daily Challenges are a little over whelming when beginning this journey (at least they were for me). I wouldn’t worry about reaching a certain “proficiency level” before moving on. This program works a little different. Put the time in; at least 10 minutes (I did twice that much at first), but still stopped then. However well I did with that time was my proficiency level at that point. Some lessons I was pleased with; others…….no way. You keep going according to the schedule in TAC, and since the skills practiced each week Monday through Friday, are the same on that day; even though the material is different; you are still developing that skill. Doing this keeps frustration (and the sense of falling behind), away. You are developing according to who you are, at your pace. You will see growth; but not by hammering away at a specific lesson until you are satisfied you have reached a certain level; but by developing the 5 essential skills; chipping away at them each week. You will see progress then, have fun, and avoid discouraging yourself; which causes a lot of people to quit guitar. Some lessons that I could not get down, even to a modest degree the first year, I can play well quite easily now. Take it easy on yourself, enjoy, and play the best you can within a time each day; then move on to the next lesson………no matter what. It works!
