  • 30 days to Play

    Posted by dwalter16hotmail-com on January 23, 2026 at 7:50 am

    Im a little confused on the 30 days to Play. One week 1 there are only 3 lessons. Then on week 2 there are more. is there something we are supposed to do on the other four days of week one before we advance to week two? I was going review the 3 lessons for the next four days. is that correct?

    Welcome to TAC !

    I just did the 30 day challenge and essentially went back over the lessons when there wasn’t a new one. Depending on your skill level and how well you feel you are progressing, you can also go on to the next week’s lesson. I finished the 30 Day Challenge in about 18 days, since I had played guitar before. I probably could have gone faster except for waiting until my fingers toughened up a bit !

    The 30 Days to Play are designed to be consumed as quickly or slowly as the member desires. Some take 30 days, others more and some have gone through it in an afternoon. It will depend on your experience and your approach. If you have the time and desire for more, take a look at the skill courses, perhaps there is something there that interests you? It’s a treasure trove!

    When I started on the 3rd of July, I completed the 30 Days in about 20, then moved on to the 5 Day Routine. I entered the Daily Challenges on the 29th of the same month. That worked out well for me as a novice, but not completely brand new player. It was a big jump though, the Daily Challenges are on a different level than those 2 intro packages. But that’s fine, we don’t have to do everything that Tony shows us. He puts in a lot of stuff for more advanced players. Everybody in TAC does the same Daily Challenge, beginner to expert! That’s the beauty of it, we all get to share the same lesson but our approach will depend on what we bring to it!

    Welcome and enjoy! It’s a great program!

    I’m a little confused by this too and posted a similar question, but this helps a bit. While I had no problem completing the lessons from Week 1, I don’t know that I could play the scale in lesson 3 from memory, which leads me to think I should “practice” (which I know is a bad word) before moving on to Week 2. I’m coming back to guitar after being away for quite a while, so the basics of finger placement, strumming aren’t completely foreign to me. It’s fun to remember and replay some of the 12 Bar Blues stuff that I just forgot about.

    …What do I do on Day 2 of Week 1. Just repeat Lessons 1-3? Day 3?

    Also, the way he teaches that final lesson from Week 1 is interesting, because I certainly learned a similar scale, but skipping a few of those notes. It seems to flow and sound better the way I learned it? Again, is that just practice and repetition or is leading to somewhere and I learned it wrong?

    He did Low E in a 0-3-4, then A in a 2-4-5-4-2 and I always played it Low E – 0-0-4-4, then A – 2-2-4-4-5-5-4-4-2-2, then Low E – 4-4

      There will be scales to “practice” (yes, kind of forbidden word since it sounds like work) every week. Not to worry if you didn’t “memorize” the scale from the intro course.
