    Hello. When I look at the TAC guide, it says I am supposed to get an email each Monday. I did not get one. I am just starting the daily challenges after doing the 30 days to play, fretboard wizard and the 5 day guitar routine challenge. So I feel like I’m missing something. What is a benchmark song? And why does everyone know about it but me? I feel like I must be missing some reference material or something.

    I was here for 7 months without a Monday email and they suddenly started arriving last week. So I don’t have an answer for that.

    A benchmark song is one of the songs each month hat comes around again every four (?) months. The idea is that you record where you are this week so that you can observe your improvement the next time it comes around.

    The 4 benchmark songs are

    Ain’t No Sunshine

    Wagon Wheel

    Hotel California

    Old Man

      Hi @lollyt ,

      the monday momentum mail should appear on monday morning and it sets you up for the week. Tony started to send these emails approximately last fall when he stopped his Acoustic Tuesday show on YouTube.

      If you do not get the mails, but you want to get them, make sure to check your spam folder and if it is not there, check the account information in your user profile. If everything is correct, reach out to TAC support.

      Tony explains everything you need to know about the benchmark songs in the videos but @Moose408 already gave you the essence of it.

    Thank you! I reached out to support. I had somehow been unsubscribed to the Monday emails. They are going to add me back in. Thanks for the reply.
