Hey Neil @Moontan ;
The best way to learn is like a kid, to just explore and try and have fun. We adults tend to sabotage that simple, natural method. So Tony gives us a way to learn like kids if we will just follow the process and not question it. What do I mean? The daily challenges. They give us something to work on everyday. Each week covers the 5 main areas of guitar skill. Put in your 10 minutes a day minimum on the lesson, don’t worry about how well you did or didn’t do the lesson, and then spend the rest of your playing/practicing time doing whatever floats your boat. You will notice remarkable progress in a few weeks or months. The better you get the longer it takes to recognize progress, but you will make steady progress continually with the TAC method.
The skills courses will help you get a jumpstart in the specific direction you want to go, but be aware that you can get more instruction in a half hour than you can get under your fingers in a year. So, get the whole skills courses or song tutorials out of your head. Don’t take them? No, that’s not what I mean. They are a valuable way to move in the direction you want to go. But don’t ever lose sight of what’s actually making you a better guitar player over time. Many people learn songs or licks by rote and can play a bunch of them. But they can’t play the guitar in a general way, where they can arrange a new song on their own or write their own songs or come up with new licks on the fly while playing with other musicians.
Anyway, it sounds like you have a great routine going. It won’t be long and your progress will slow down and you’ll run out of skills courses. Don’t forget that the daily challenges are like magic, you don’t see it or feel it, it just works.
