30 Days To Play
I just finished the first day of the 30 Days To Play. I spent quite a long time, probably about 90 minutes working on just the first topic of Week 1.
Should I have covered all three topics or should I tackle one each day for the first three days and then throw them all together for the rest of the week?

This sounds like you are aiming to master the lessons. You will want to not try to do that. Do your best for at least 10 minutes, do more if it’s still fun then mark the lesson complete. Complete does not mean you perfected anything, it just means you gave it a good effort. It might be 1 measure out of 12, it might be only a few notes or a simple move that you’ve never done before. Count anything like that as progress and go to next!

Thanks for the advice!

Hi Barbara, welcome to the TAC family!
I’m in 100% agreement with @petelanger . You’ll soon learn that Tony teaches progress over perfection and as Pete pointed out if you give a lesson a good 10 minutes market complete and that does not mean that you can’t play longer, but don’t shoot for perfection. Just give it your best like Pete said. You’ll be amazed that you will learn and excel following this practice
Once you get into the mainstream lessons and the daily challenges, the same will apply. There are four benchmark weeks in the year during these you will set goals for the next three months and you will be able to reflect back on previous benchmark weeks. These are songs and lessons that you will see repeated. This allows you to see any improvement that you’ve made this goes along with other lessons throughout the year too, but it’s focused on more during these benchmark weeks. So basically at the end of three months you get to look back see if you’ve met your goals. What areas you excel in what you did well in what areas and were challenging to you that you’d like to work on more. That might be what you choose to focus on in the next 3 months, or you might have another goal in mind.
When you complete the challenge you’re currently taking, then do the next 6 chords, the 5 days skill challenge, and I highly suggest taking the stretching in the skills section. You can take Skills Lessons in any order you want. It’s your program, so be curious and look around.
Have fun with it!

My bad! When I first saw your question I thought you were Barb, but then I checked out your profile and saw very little, except that your name was Jim. My brain made Bar Band Jim rather than Barb and Jim. 🙂
