30 day prep
Good morning everyone!! I joined TAC last week and have been playing steadily so far. I have a quick question regarding the 30 day start journey. I have been playing guitar pretty infrequently for a number of years and found myself struggling and quitting until; about a year ago, when i finally put my guitars away for what I assumed was the last time. Since starting this journey, I am having fun and really flying through the lessons. My question is has anyone else found the 30 day awesome as a refresher but wanted to jump forward? I want to follow the process but the muscle memory is kicking in and I want to progress but also don’t want to hurt the process. Will it affect the process in the long run if I jump ahead and do multiple steps a day or finish the 30 day early?

Honestly I don’t think you would hurt yourself by “clepping” the 30 days. However I am not sure if the system will let you start daily challenges until 30 days are up, you might ask in chat support, that’s your orange circle on the home page bottom right.
If you are prevented from going into the Dailies, then start looking through the skill courses. I’m sure you can find some things that are challenging there. Also I’ll post a link to a Googlesheet that will let you link directly to many of the daily challenges.

Thank you so much. That is certainly helpful to have the spreadsheet!

Hey, welcome @Anawnnymoose (Awesome screen name btw). I always suggest going through the 30 days, as a refresher, but also an intro to Tony’s teaching style, but there’s nothing limiting you to spreading it out 30 days. Some go through it quickly as just a fun intro, and others take the suggested 30 days, but can take even longer. This is your program and journey. Jump into the daily challenges and skills courses as you like.
You’ve already realized the fun part of the equation, so you’re well on your way.

Personally, I did the 30 days in about two weeks. I also started doing the daily challenges Day 1, but the 30 days were my focus till I get through them.

I am glad you posted this because I am finding myself in a similar situation. I joined a week ago, but have been playing for 35 years. After watching a couple of the 30 day videos on how to tune your guitar and some of the other basics, I thought , there is no way I am going to sit through 30 days of this, so I marked complete on every one, and it still didn’t put me into the Daily challenge. Then I think I signed up for some 5 day thing, and that didn’t start either, but I started getting emails about it starting Monday[ I think?]. On top of all of that, I still seem to be getting marketing emails with links to long winded videos trying to get me to sign up. Lol. I thought to myself, well, I have gone and boogered this thing up in typical Shane style! Reading your post and the responses provided by others has been helpful. It seems crazy to me that I paid like 300 bucks for a year of TAC and Fretboard Wizard and have to wait a month to start getting the daily emails I signed up for, but it is what it is. I will go through the fretboard Wizard stuff and some one the skills training as suggested. Thanks for your post and welcome!

Also, keep in mind that you can convert to lifetime anytime during the first year of membership. I did this after about 10 months. You have to buy the lifetime, And then they (Victoria) will refund you the cost of the annual immediately. So it effectively costs you $100 to go from annual to lifetime. I realize it’s annoying that you can’t enter the daily challenges immediately, but a couple of weeks up or down will not be of any consequence in the long term.
