My intention was to suggest that you start by playing open chords or cowboy chords that we all start with to keep it simple, a, d, g, c, e, etc. Basic 3 chord songs are available with tabs online. That just gives you some easy musical chord changes to practice until you’re comfortable. At that point you can begin to add barre chords, which is a bigger challenge. As far as other skills courses, you’ll have to take a look to see if you feel ready to attempt them, if not, save for later. Freight Train may be one of those. No need to rush. I would strongly suggest that you tackle Fretboard Navigation and possibly Fretboard Wizard as soon as you can to get some basic theory under your belt. It will be a great help with understanding scales. The big hole in TAC seems to be the lack of beginning courses for scales. Even though there are weekly scales tidbits offered, there is no basic skills course offered for beginners at this time. You may have to go to other sources to find some basic info on major, minor and pentatonic scales to get a better start on that so that you will understand the weekly challenges. I hope this helps.
