Hello Bryan.
In my opinion and from my experience, I would focus on the 30 day program and spend more than 10 minutes a day in your playing (aka practice) afterwards. Work on your technique and getting your brain to absorb the new chords and techniques. Work on some basic chord changes – as all songs are made of chord changes – and gain some proficiency there. Why? Again, in my opinion, you can easily look at TOO many things and become confused and frustrated – and distracted. Learning guitar has not been as easy for me personally as I envisioned – I was following the 10 minutes a day idea and it did not work for me. Spending 10 minutes a day was a great idea – but I found out that I don’t have hidden guitar skills after all – bummer. So the time expended was great but the skills retained were basic at best. Perhaps look at the 10 minutes per day as the amount of time you’ll listen to the instruction. Like I mentioned, your practice would be afterwards.
Watching the daily challenges is more like a bonus as a beginner. There are some complicated techniques in the daily challenges – so keep that in mind. It can be a source of real frustration if you expect yourself to do the things in the daily challenges with proficiency. Tony is a very skilled and talented player. His teaching is very enjoyable and his demeanor great. He makes it all look easy. And with enough time and focus – give yourself time – you’ll get there. Some say it takes 10,000 hours to be an expert in a skill. Hopefully that’s much less for you!
