Ok, @dfmarcus63 , direct answer to your direct questions:
1) is there a beginning to the Daily Challenge – NO
The dailies don’t work that way. They give us direction for practice that day. Throughout the week, they cover the range of guitar skills. If we do these lessons everyday, even just 10 minutes a day, we will see steady progress. Yes, it’s slow. It’s guitar. We’re the lucky ones because we are improving slowly but steadily as opposed to not getting anywhere for years.
2) Your screen said “The Gauntlet” that day just as everyone’s screen said “The Gauntlet” that day. That was the daily lesson that day.
3) Of course it was day one for you. It was the first day you did a daily lesson. The daily lesson that was on tap that first day was “The Gauntlet”.
Welcome to TAC. The best online guitar instruction site on the World Wide Web, in my opinion. Have fun is the number one goal. How cool is that. And everyone who does these daily lessons sees improvement regardless of what the do or don’t understand or how they go about it or where they started from. There are few guitarists who have enough, broad-based skill to get zero benefit from TAC. Pretty sure if you were there you wouldn’t be here. 😁
I hope this helps.
