    I’ve left this tangent alone until now, but I think I would like to voice my opinion on it. 10 minutes a day is simply the amount that we should devote to the challenge of the day before we mark it complete. And in the past I’ve always called it 10-20 minutes. Some challenges require more time than others. You want to at least attempt a good portion and some days 10 minutes isn’t going to get you far. And if you’re new to TAC then you don’t know what’s covered in the Learn Video and you will need to watch it a lot more closely than a member who’s been through it a number of times. At this point there are lot of challenges where watching video isn’t necessary to do the challenge. If I can skip that I absolutely can get some meaningful reps done and be better than the previous time. Benchmarks especially fall in this category since we see them so often.

    Will you improve if that is all you do each day? I believe you will improve, but quite slowly. Heck I probably spend an hour minimum most days (7 days a week), often much more and I am still not progressing as fast I would like. Partly because I am not terribly gifted, but mainly because guitar is crazy hard.

    Spending more time daily, multiple sessions, accelerates progress. Five 10 -15 minute sessions per day is superior to one 2 hour session. Your brain processes things during the time you aren’t holding the instrument, even while you’re sleeping.
