Welcome to the TAC family! Joining Tony’s program is a great move for any guitar journey. If you’re just starting out, complete the 30 days to play challenge and the 5 day guitar routine challenge, as Tony suggests. Don’t necessarily plunge into the daily challenges right away, some of them can be tough for beginners.
A few of the Skills Courses are good starters as well, such as the Strumming Jumpstart and the Finger Stretch and Daily Stretch ones. I found it very helpful to print out and fill in Tony’s TAC Journal, too. It helps to keep focused and motivated.
One more thing, if you find you struggle with fretting chord positions, beginner guitars are often not well setup out of the box, so having a guitar tech lower the action (bring the strings closer to the fretboard) can be a huge difference maker. It shouldn’t be terribly costly, and it’s good to become acquainted with your local guitar dealer for picking up accessories (strings, straps, picks, capo, tuners, etc) or even enrolling for a few lessons.
Enjoy your journey and as oldcoach suggested, come back regularly to these forums for inspiration and great advice/encouragement!
