    Doing the 30 day journey to playing before starting the Daily Challenges. I’m a senior guitar player and feel like it’s slow going for me. It’s taking me longer than a week for each part of the 30 day program. Also, my fingers aren’t stretching to the frets as I would like them to. I’m going to persist and manifest improvement, though!

    Progress over perfection. Don’t spend too much time on each lesson. You can jump into the daily challenges as soon as you want. If you think they’re too much, you can go back to the 30 days to play. But I would just jump right in. You’ll feel overwhelmed, but that’s OK. Just do what you can do. You’ll honestly be surprised with your progress when the challenge comes around again.

    Hello and welcome @alice-schulte-ipny !

    When you say it’s taking you a week for each part, are you talking about a video or a group of videos? Only asking because if you are spending a week on a single video lesson then I have to wonder why? Is it because you are only playing once a week, or are you returning to the same lesson day after day?

    You really just want to try to do your best on each one and then just move on. It is not necessary to absolutely nail each section, you will be fine to proceed. Perfection is your enemy here in the TAC program, so I just want to make sure you aren’t trying to be perfect before progressing. If this is not the case then carry on as you were!

    Please—- MAKE SURE to do the warmups and stretches…. both- at the start/ and now-and-again during your practice sessions.

    Im brand new too, totally overwhelmed but trying to think of the frustration as FUN. LOL. At this point Im going to have to go over and over the same video as well. Im going to have to find another video that is truly for beginners before starting THIS program for beginners. :o(
