    @Mave It’s OK to struggle! In fact, it’s good to struggle! (explanation below)

    It’s completely normal to be overwhelmed by these types of challenges. Especially if you are looking at the entire TAB. Divide and conquer. The challenges are almost always easier in the beginning so can usually do a few measures at the front, maybe just one! Similarly there is a trend throughout each week from simpler to the more complex. When I started in TAC I found myself on many Thursdays and Fridays just repeating the Monday and Tuesday challenges, maybe dabble a bit on the late week stuff.

    I’m here for the 5th time and it’s clicking now. First 2 times I was lost, 3rd time started getting some major parts, began to include barre chords. 4th time I was able to play all the parts but couldn’t string it all together. 5th time I can play through.

    THE MOST LEARNING HAPPENS WHEN YOU STRUGGLE! I know it doesn’t make sense at first, but there has to be resistance if there is going to be growth. Just think about it: how much would you have learned if you could do this right away?
