Fretboard Wizard Timing
Posted by bluesnbrews on December 5, 2023 at 3:54 amI recently joined TAC and jumped in for the fretboard wizard segment. In the welcome aboard intro it was clear first step was to take the 30 Days to Play, then I’ve read the best next step is the 5 day skills course. Looking for insights as to the timing of engaging the fretboard wizard? Cheers…

OK- I’ll jump in and throw my two-cents in.
Since I/we don’t know where you are in your guitar journey, it’s a little iffy to say…. and …. since everyone is different, this adds even more fog to your question.
My own thoughts are that as long as you have a good grasp on the 30-days-to-Play- (and the 5-day Skills course?), go for it. FBW is YOURS. You own it and can access any part of it whenever you want.
Further– it is a “ladder” learning system for the most part— (once you grasp “this”— THEN move on to “that”). You have to understand each step before moving to the next.
You can also, of course, go back and revisit any previously-completed part– to re-clarify things– when you come to a part that is more challenging.
And of course, remember you can- (and should)- go completely back thru the entire course again, from time to time— you WILL learn something new each time.
It is a great course!- (and well-worth the investment).
Try to “be” just a little bit beyond where you are comfortable.
DON’T hurry thru it, but also don’t go so slow that you are bored with it.
My two-cents…..

PS- Don’t ignore the “Skills Courses”….. Poke around in there….. They are GREAT.

@bluesnbrews (love the moniker, btw) – welcome to the TAC community! I suggest going through the 30 days to play, next 6 chords, 5 days skills course, stretching, and then start on the daily challenges. If you’re able to supplement the daily challenges, then …. Feel free to take Fretboard Wizard and any of the other skills courses that you want;
Or
Another option is to bypass the daily challenges while you take FBW. This will allow you to give sufficient time and focus to the course.
This is your journey, and you can mold it however you want.
If you have little or absolutely no experience on the guitar, I suggest following what I outlined above. If you have been playing guitar for a while, then you could actually jump into FBW anytime you feel you could give it the focus necessary and not get too bogged down by taking it with other courses.
Good luck with it, and have fun!
