Question about Benchmark Songs
With the benchmark songs is the idea to just work at it for that week and then move on to the next song? Or do we keep working at the benchmark in addition to other challenges and see our progress when the song comes around again? If that makes sense…thanks!

Hi Dave
The purpose is to treat it just as you would any other lesson, but the benchmark aspect of it means that you will use this week as a benchmark to how you are doing when we go through the song again. You’ll be able to see your improvement . So that’s why it’s called a benchmark.
I suggest that you maybe record your practice each day and just say that.And then the next time you go through it, you can compare the different timestamps.

@RadioDave the benchmarks will repeat. Ain’t No Sunshine has come up on these dates: 9/8/24, 1/14/25, 5/13/25 , 9/9/25, 1/19/26 ~ every 4 months.
If you desire, you are free to play the song or do some the challenges as an exercise or warm up or whatever you please. TAC gives you the freedom to use what you’ve learned in any way that tickles your fancy. I have certain ones that I have enjoyed playing and have repeated a lot throughout the year, usually on my TV couch when nobody is listening but occasionally with my wife next to me.
Of course, which ever chord progression that you repeat more often will stick better and you will find it easier when it comes around again. But if you just do your best each challenge day, you will move forward, no more is required. If you are enjoying yourself with whatever you are doing with your guitar, you should keep doing it.
