  • Not sure that I’m doing this right

    Posted by Deb E on February 25, 2026 at 6:00 am

    I have completed the 30 day challenge, as well as the 5 day challenge and it went okay. However, while doing both the “30 Day Challenge” and the “5 Day Challenge”, I never did the “Daily Challenge”. And now that I’m done both of those challenges, do I go back to when I started on January 9th and do the “Daily Challenges” from there? I’m just not sure where to go from here and what to do next. Please help.

    the Daily Challenges are circular in nature. There is no beginning or end you just jump in. The info presented has many layers. Try and focus on just one thing at a time. For instance, today’s challenge is Drop Cloth. If you can figure out the bass note and the first note and learn to pedal those two notes back and forth I would say this session has been productive. Small bites worked better for me than big. It took me a long time to figure that out. Even today when I am working out a difficult new ear worm, it takes me several thousand repetitions to lock it down. It seems like a lot but at 100 beats per minute that is only 20 minutes of real time. Think of initial/introductory learning/playing as playing through the view of a magnifying glass. Some times I slow down to 30 bpm (beats per minute) and that is the Microscope phase. Later comes the Binoculars. Santana, Clapton, Tommy Emmanuel, those guys can see infinity through telescopes. : )

    No you don’t have to. The challenges repeat every year and some every four months. Just jump in to the current week. I would suggest to start on Monday.

    The challenge will only stay available for about a month and a half so if you want to revisit the challenge be sure to save it by clicking on the heart.

    Good luck!!

    Thank you, JumpinJeff and Bayvu2. I appreciate your input. Good idea to start on Monday, but for Thursday and Friday, I’ll just check out some other Daily Challenges. Thanks again! 🙂

      Also consider the skill courses, lots of useful stuff in there.

      Just to reiterate, you never have to back track or worry about playing catch up. The challenges repeat in a cycles but the subject matter is repeated even more frequently in different challenges. You always want to move forward and be on the same page with everyone else in TAC because that’s where the discussions happen under the challenges.

    Thank you, petelanger for your Skills suggestion. I will think about that.

    Today, I did the Monday challenge and completed it and I will just move forward from now on. Thank again.
