Hi @SteveinCT , I hear what you’re saying along with @Loraine , it’s a good idea and may have some merit. But I have to agree with @jumpinjeff . What I see (between the “Skills” courses and the Daily challenges) is that we are being shown a way to learn, which allows us to grow at our own pace. Playing notes on the scales against backing tracks allows for the 1) ability to understand the scale fully – to know the notes that are 3rds and fifths etc. and how they fit with the chords of those backing tracks and 2) eventually a way to come up with our own melodies, so that we can do an improv (solo) – on our own, using what we’ve learned – no, we won’t be Rock Stars overnight😱 But I do have confidence that I’m learning and understanding, musically, what I’ve learned to this point in time! Talk to me in 3 months and I’m confident that I’ll know and understand a little more – as things click in my head and transpose into my guitar playing abilities🤩
