    Here is my first Benchmark song video “Wagon Wheel” Day 66 Week 11 of Tony’s Acoustic Guitar Challenge. The song played with chords G D Em C . Will upload Daily Challenge video after learning weeks challenges Technique, licks, improvisation, etc.

    As Tony says “Here goes nothing!” Feedback appreciated.

    Goals for 2025

    1) Keep playing daily. The neuroscience will build skills, muscle finger and picking memory if you do consistently.

    2) Keep it simple by sticking to Tony’s lesson progressions and not distracted by youtube lessons

    3) Learn the fretboard.

    4) Have fun!

    Thanks for the kind words. Yes, show your work as community gives good feedback and encouragement. I am finishing 30 day challenge tomorrow ( practising 20 to 40 mins each day as today Day 29 consecutively) and I see the progress and understand how the exercises Tony builds on each and helps progressions. Keep consistent short practice and your muscle finger memory and picking direction becomes more automatic. Best of luck and have fun. Happy New Year.
