I like how you got to the essential question! It took me a while to even figure that out. : )
The answer is acutally both and yes. What ever it was that kept you playing yesterday, capture it and bring it with you today and hopefully you will have something left so you can bring it tomorrow too. There are no prerequesites or qualification for any of the lessons. The beauty of music is the most comlex things can be parsed and simplified. It is not easy to see at first. The distraction of the whole concept would keep me from seeing even the first part of it. If you find yourself totally engaged in a 5 day challenge, mission accomplished. If you are enaged in one module of the 5 day and you are engaged and on fire for your alotted time (newly centered around an old habit), mission accomplished. Here is the caveat: too much time spent trying to do something your body has not wired itself for either metally or physically is going to lead to stagnation. It is really difficult to see at first when progress stops on the account of force. It is why doing the challenge on a layer where you will find success is the fastest way to progress. It is also where observations of small wins are honed. I paid Tony to be my teacher for two years and I was still trying to teach myself. When I started doing it the way Tony suggested my progress ramped up. Once I figured that out, the whole thing got easier. Not that it was easy but it was easier. The other suggestion I have and you will get tired of me saying it soon….slow down. One beat every two seconds. Play as though you are playing in super slow motion to get your brain to rewire. It is rub your head and pat your belly all over again. You cant chase speed but you can sneak up on it.
