  • Bin away for a couple of months.

    Hello all,

    Work has kept me away from practicing my daily challenge for the last 3 months and I’m wondering if I should pick up where I left off or should I just move on to the latest daily challenge? I feel like I’ve lost so much ground especially trying to play the basic chords and fingering. I’m feeling pretty lost. What should I do?

    Thannks for your help!

    I would try pickup with the Daily Challenge. But if that overwhelms you, go back to the skills courses that you feel are hindering you. The key is to get back on a horse that challenges you but that you still enjoy because fun is the key. The journey is the enjoyment. The destination is a momentary reward before the next leg of the journey. Kudos to you for overcoming life getting in the way and your overcoming the obstacles to get back to your guitar routine.

      Thanks for the advice. I will go back and hit the skills course so I can get back up to speed and get into the Daily Challenges. Thanks again!

    I just want to add:

    Try to do at least 10 minutes every day that you possibly can! Not playing for 3 months will make it seem like starting over. Missing a day or 2 here and there is no big deal but long breaks will definitely begin to regress your learning.

    It’s less important where you pick up in TAC than that you actually play your guitar. The “curriculum” is circular in multiple ways so you can step in any time and never need to catch up as you have to do in most learning programs

      Thanks Pete. I’m going to also extend my practices to my morning Anchor to an evening practice just so I can retain my skills. thank you for your advice, it’s a huge help!
