Hello Mark, From my perspective, having been with TAC three years & logging just over 1200 sessions, you are not “behind”. The Daily Challenges do repeat as the years go by and I’ve noticed the second or even third time personal growth with them happens. Your first approach is correct from my experience.

Playing guitar face with others requires a “just do it” attitude. Find someone who likes to play lead guitar and you play rhythm. I do this with my son in law (professional guitarist years ago). He started me slow and easy with a ton of his patience. Over time you find yourself being comfortable and having a great time together. You start alternating (in my case) simple leads. I learn a lot by watching him play. Also, I volunteer to play for residents within assisted living centers. Very understanding and appreciative people. Did one 10-song set last week. Each song seems to spark a memory for them. The more I do these “mini concerts” the easier and better it goes.

Yet the best advice I offer (as Tony says) is to pick up your guitar each day – even for just “ten minutes a day” as life permits , of course. Play on Mark. I wish you a very successful guitar enhanced life.
