Different program levels?
For anyone who has been with the program for very long…are the daily challenges the same for everyone or are they different depending on one’s progress level/experience?

They are the same for everyone. What I have discovered over time though is the many layers you eventually find. As they occasion repeat, I find 1) I am better and they are more quickly refreshed and 2) I start to fuse the lessons with other ideas. For example (and @Bill_Brown and @jumpinjeff are very good at this) play the exercise at a different place in the neck (a different voicing) or on a single string or barre chord or chord shape. The lessans take the thought and planning out of what to do this week at a core level. Then I spend my time in enhancing the technique and completing my quarterly goals. Enjoy.

the more experience you have collected the deeper into a lesson you can dive. We all have the same presentation by tony, same material, same day, but what I heard in a lesson Challenge the first time and what I hear on the 30th time is as if it were an entirely new lesson. I found the beauty of TAC in how I was engaged initially having little previous experience. It was an understandable path to an end goal without having to plan the trip. All I had to do was keep walking on the path. Easy? noooo! Fun? Wayyyyyy!!!!

Hi @durwood and welcome to TAC. Let me start by saying that I’m in my 5th year here at TAC, so I’ve seen challenges repeat. I agree with what @albert_d and @jumpinjeff are saying. For me, when a lesson repeats (and they all do eventually) I try to “increase” the challenge for myself as a way of testing what I’ve learned in the past. Not only does that help me maintain what I’ve learned, but it also helps me to stay focused on continuing to learn. Let’s face it, when you come across a challenge that you’ve done several times in the past, you may have a tendency to just “blow it off”. But by trying to increase the “skill level” needed to complete the challenge, you can breathe some new life into it for yourself and keep your interest going forward. The operative phrase here is “keep(ing) your interest going forward”, because when you loose interest, you stop learning. And when you stop learning, you stop playing guitar, which is counter to everything going on here with TAC.
Best of luck with your journey!
