    This is a constant theme here on the TAC forum @Skyman .

    First, let me say that you have a really great routine at present. Very complete and well rounded.

    Second, your progress is probably much faster than you realize. I started when I was 44 but only learned the basics from a book. I played on and mostly off over 20 years and then joined TAC at 63. It turns out, even people who start at a young age take way longer than you would think. But when you start in your 60s, you’re doing well if you can see progress over a 2 or 3 month period. Which is exactly what TAC gives us and what you will get as long as you stick to this routine.

    Third, you’re gonna burn out. You’ll get bored of what you are doing. As you get better at those chord transitions, they won’t be challenging and therefore exciting anymore. But there will still be a lot to learn. That’s where TAC comes in. Those daily lessons will be a challenge for at least 3 years, but probably more like 5 or 6 years. They cover the whole range of guitar skills and they change constantly. Everyone here has experienced the magic of simply doing a minimum of 10 minutes or more every day on the daily lessons and seeing progress in their guitar skills. There is no starting point or ending point. The lessons will come around again in 10 months or so. When they do, you will notice that you are playing a certain lesson better even though you forgot all about it after the one day you did it several months ago.

    For now, you are doing wonderfully. Keep it up and seek help from the community every time you have another question or some win you want to share with us. We love to hear about your victories.
