    I have just completed the 30 starter course. My question is should i delve into the courses offered or just the daily courses?

    Aloha from the Big Island. You might want to complete all of the courses the Learn the Basics category first Specifically the 5 Day Guitar Routine is designed to help you get the most out of the daily challenges. And you might broaden your base of knowledge and skills with the Six Chords and Strumming Jumpstart. They’re stand alone, go pretty quickly, and might be a good start to move you along toward your goals. BTW, Welcome Aboard!!

    Hi @1967kerbygmail-com , welcome to TAC. Hope you enjoy your journey here. I think Bruce has given you some good advice with the courses in the skills section. I would add Foundations of Fretboard Navigation as another one that you should definitely take. If you’re retired and have the time to spend, I would suggest doing the Daily’s – perhaps in the morning – and then do some skills courses later in the day or visa-versa, it’s up to you because this is your journey. If you feel you don’t have extra time, then IMHO, you should concentrate more on the skills courses first until you build some confidence before going onto the Daily’s. I know that’s contrary to what’s said in the 5 Day Guitar Routine, but I believe that building your skills is an essential part of the journey. The Daily’s repeat over time, so it’s not like you’ll miss something there. Just my humble opinion.

    Welcome to TAC, and congratulations on completing the 30 days to play course. I don’t see any reason why you can’t do the Daily Challenge in conjunction with Skills courses. The dailies cover different skillsets each week (chords, rhythm, scales, etc). You’ll find some more difficult than others, but give them your best effort for at least 10 minutes per day (then mark complete), and you will get better and grow as you do them.
