Daily Challenges expire
Well, I was extremely surprised & let down today to learn that where I’m at in TAC is apparently 45 days to late. I was learning at my own pace only to learn that preparing to actually learn the song “Old Man” by Neil Young is no longer available as that challenge was 45 days ago suddenly. I didn’t know that there was a time line on learning daily challenges! I am depressed about the entire membership at this very moment. I could use some advice on what to do. I almost cancelled my membership a few minutes ago. I I realize now that I should save all challenges to be able to go back and revisit them

Try not to be too disappointed because it will come around again. It is one of the songs that is used for our quarterly check ins so you will come across it again.
One suggestion is if there is something that you particularly. Are interested in learning at a leisurely pace is to check the little heart or favorite icon under the video. Those videos and lessons will then be saved on your profile to get to them. You would check the down arrow next to your name at the top right and just go leave to your profile and then the favorites will be on there and you just click it. You will need to know the names, though of the lessons for a particular week, because they are broken out into the daily foundational skills.<div>Another thing I’d like to point out is that the lessons aren’t really meant to be worked to perfection the philosophy of TAC is progress over perfection, and that basically means that you want to keep moving forward what is suggested is that you work through a lesson one time market as complete. That doesn’t mean that you can’t continue to work on it little longer, but I wouldn’t work on it past that particular day just move on to the next one because what the program is about is progressing and going through certain lessons again on a rotating basis so that you can see how far you’ve advanced. And you will remember the lessons after you’ve taken them because the next time they come around it triggers in your head that you’ve been through the lesson again you’ll be able to see the actual progress and improvements. Some people choose to videotape themselves going through those lessons so that they have something they can compare the next time through it to.</div><div><div>So I hope this helps alleviate some of your angst. The lessons are available for the month that they’re published and then there is the option to go back to the previous month. I think it’s at the top of the daily challenge. It’ll have an arrow or something that goes back to the previous month Isn’t for people to remain that far behind in the lessons.</div></div> -
Been there! I think Old Man is back in April. I learned the hard way, If you come across a Challenge that you want to spend more time on, Save, Save, Save!

As @Loraine said, they come again. I don’t think the intent is to keep you from access. I suspect it is to keep the platform from becoming mired in every offering TAC has all the time and trying to maintain that. Plus it doesn’t fit the learning concept. But I also have favorites and I like to refresh and being an old man, Old Man is one of those for me. The lesson names are:
I’m a lot like you, So Much More, Rolling Home To You, Take a Look at my Life, and Run Around the Same Old Town.
I think that if one goes to another person’s profile and that person has checked these lessons as favorites that you can pull them up and link to the lesson. I would print out the tab for practice. I haven’t looked but I may have “hearted” these lessons. (I’d check but I am afraid I might lose this post and don’t want to peck it in again.) But there are ways to get to past lessons so don’t let it derail your guitar journey.

That’s kind of cool that you can access an out of range (today – 6 weeks) challenge by going through another member’s favorites. I just tested this out myself. I pulled up “Wonderful (This Evening” from jumpinjeff’s profile and I don’t have it favorited.
There are at least 5 ways to access previous challenges:
- Your own favorites
- Another member’s favorites
- Moose408’s Masterlist
- From the TAC homepage (Previous Challenges – only 6 weeks back)
- With the name of challenge inserted into the URL: https://tonypolecastro.com/lessons/enter-name-of-challenge-2/
remove the string name-of-challenge and insert the name of the desired challenge. It must be accurate and entered hyphenated.
