2 weeks and feeling lost
I am working on the 30 day part of the course. I practice 1/2 hour plus per day. I haven’t been moving too fast because I want to be able to perform each days project before going on to the next. Am I doing this correctly? I feel I need some kind of structure in order to advance. I don’t feel I have that. When I finally get thru the 30 days (which will probably take me 60, where do I go from there ?

Hi Walter. Just starting out is the hardest part of guitar, and you are on the right track from the sounds of things. The 30 days to play gives you foundational skills to carry you forward. Take as much time as you need with it. It will eventually click, and you will be surprised when your hands just know what to do.
Are you trying the daily exercises? The 10 minute daily challenges cover all the fundamentals as well. While some may seem advanced, 10 minutes a day practicing outside your comfort zone has a surprising cumulative effect.
Once you have finished your 30 days to play choose one of the skills courses that interests you. (I started with the stretches honestly, and even that was a good course) you can revisit the 30 days to play as often as you want

Walter R do not worry you are doing fine. I am the same as you .I feel like I need to complete one thing before moving on to another. I am new to the Guitar and I approached it like I did my work effort in life. Which has slowed me down as well I also am working on the 30 day part of the course. LOL I am now about to hit 90 days.
I have gone through the lessons one step at a time .I am the type of person that feels like he should a lesson down before moving on. I am Finally at the solo section of the Plan. Admittedly I am a bit stuck here myself but the advice that people like Alfred is giving you will help. It has helped me at times that I felt blocked. Try one of the other little challenges . IT help me in the past to take my mind away from where I was stuck and come back to it with a renewed vigor and a new skill. I am in the process right now of hopping it will do the same for me again. LOL . Be of good cheer you are doing well.

Walter R- You are working through the Challenge in a way that will leave a lasting impression. It may not feel as fast, and you may worry, as you did, but it is fine. Lots of current research that learning can be reinforced, and excellence promoted this way.
But when you do find something that really grabs. you and forces an uncontrolled smile, I suggest you play with that, too, as hard as you feel you can, and follow it where it leads.
The fun part of this Journey is very important. When you find it, grind it, and it will propel you forward, and your skill will improve. (Might want to capture it on sound or video so you can look back and see and hear the progress as you go.)
