@Jolene , first Welcome to TAC. We are here to help, just ask.

So, the Warmup is designed to be worked on for 10 minutes or so, and then, on to something else (unless it really grabs you and won’t let you go, and then, by all means beat it to submission). And if you can, come back to it every day, and then there will be a new Warm up next Monday (tomorrow as I write this). Getting it perfected is not the goal, get it started, and progress will come.

I would also suggest the 30 day challenge. Why, well, each day of lessons (regardless of how long or short a time it takes you) is a skill that will evolve as you work it. Each of those skills, like the Daily Challenges will grow your overall skill and confidence.

You are already ahead of where I was when I started. You don’t have to unlearn the bad habits of 50 years of not really learning this, so slow, steady, work at it, and you will find you are not useless. After all you have a guitar and a plan. From that you will shortly become what we call a “Guitar Player.”
