As always, Mike, I enjoy reading your insights on this ol’ guitar geek journey we are all on. I did read to the end, though like Coach I will admit to losing focus here and there😆 My routine also includes at least an attempt at Tony’s daily challenge, and most often I get through them with some degree of success, if not even close to full speed. I thought I’d relish the 5 day blues challenge since I’m currently trying to learn some blues technique – but I guess I’m not there yet, and I definitely threw in the towel on yesterday’s lesson fairly early on. The mini barres are tough but doable, however adding in the string muting and that partial upstroke put me out of this game.
Also like you, I usually end up working on other stuff if I don’t complete the challenge – there are so many directions I want to head off in! One of them now is working through FBW for the first time – I’m just starting into the last section on soloing. I was already a big fan of Tony’s system before, but FBW has boosted that a few degrees more! I’m going to face a big decision next May when my membership comes up for renewal. I would love to stay with TAC, but not sure if I want to spring for the lifetime option (it’s almost $800 in our Canadian dollars).
Anyway, thanks for posting your contemplations.
