@just-tim what @Philb said, just do what you can. Understand the Challenges are designed for players at multiple levels so naturally newer players will need to approach them on a more basic levels while the advanced folks can work on nuances way above our skill levels. Most of the Challenges will have a progression in them, the easier stuff is at the beginning of the lesson. That may be all you can do sometimes is play a single measure or only a few notes in this measure or that one. It tends to get more technical and/or just plain harder throughout the week.
I always try to find some small gain, I call them nuggets: a little portion of the challenge that I was able to do in the end that I couldn’t in the beginning. It will amaze you as you watch Tony introduce the challenge and you might think to yourself: “No way, that’s so far out of my wheelhouse!” and then 5 minutes later you are starting to get it under your fingers! Once I have had a little light bulb moment like that I have my takeaway. Always mark complete, you don’t have to play all the way through to call it complete!
