@OhWowMan , you can take the Fretboard Wizard in little chunks. Good for you for purchasing it at the beginning ( I did the same). You will have a love / hate relationship with the fretboard wizard. It’s tough because it’s something you probably haven’t thought about before. It took me a few tries at it to understand it. But, Tony puts it in such easy terms you will get it in time and you’ll thank yourself for taking it. It will put you on the road a greatness. J

@Melvin O , I think the Forums are just the community. We can ask admin help and get answers but on the whole we are on our own. The questions help us all out. What I did when I started was make a log in excel (I’m a computer gal), but you can write it in a note pad too. That means every day accountability. Are you doing the challenges? And how long? Are you doing any of the skills and what and how long? REMEMBER, the daily challenges go away after the next month starts! Add the little favorite heart to it or print it out. You can favorite each and every one of them if you like.
Your right it’s a lot to digest, but you’ll get there.

@Desmoteque ,Take things at your own pace. Everyone is at a different skill level. @Loraine explained it as good as it is. You’ll progress, and when you go back it will be easier. I also agree with @OhWowMan with suggesting ‘5 Day Guitar Routine Challenge’ afterwards. With the 5-day challenge I started on Monday and did it along side the daily challenge on Monday, Then the 2<sup>nd</sup> day on Tuesday, etc. That way it follows the course. It made a big difference in how I looked at the daily challenges. There was a big revamping of the site last year. A lot of things changed, but what I saw as good, was being able to find courses and skills a LOT easier. Good luck and ask the TAC community when you hit a road block or just want to post that ‘you got this’.

Happy TACiversary @johnny67 , You sound like you have some good goals for the next year. Playing in front of people is hard on everyone. But, once you do it , it will get easier.

@riccsnet , Happy TACiversary!! It sounds like you are staying for another year, which is a good choice in my books.

Good job @Stickmaker, the speed challenges are a test for sure.
-
@ScottyMac , sounds great! Flying fingers on that fretboard.

It was a pretty good technique. I couldn’t do it fast, but I got er done. Good job to you @Skyman

@AttyTJ , Thanks, I decided to stay. Glad I did too. I’m really going to push myself this year. There are so many skill courses that I should be taking advantage of. I uploaded my 1st song. So April I’ll upload another. 🙂

@MikeGaurnier , I never really understood the daily challenges till I took the 5-day routine challenge (which was just last week). After I sat down with all my papers and started putting things together it was like a light blub went off in my head!! It was like doing a puzzle! I was super geeked and couldn’t put my guitar down till I was completed. Go ahead and start with mine and improve it. But, if you go back to the 5-day Routine Challenge and play the ‘dinner is served’ and listen to what Tony is saying you’ll get it. I can’t wait till Friday to do another one. YES! I got this!

Thanks @MikeGaurnier , I know I have seen a lot of inquires about the Fretboard Wizard. I thought it was great when I took it. Can’t wait to see the new one. Thanks for enlightening us. 😉

@ Loraine , I am super geeked to hear about the upcoming Fretboard wizard changes. I did struggle with it, but I went to the community for help. I was surprised so many people that didn’t do that. Remember that @OhWowMan , always go to the community with issues. Someone will help out.

Thanks @Marisa , I like to finger pick the most. I’m still a lousy strummer. But, this year i’m getting out of my comfort zone and play songs that I normally wouldn’t. And I’m going to start dappling with putting music together. I have to sit down and work on the lick that takes you out of the song. I have the tabs for it, but it doesn’t sound like I remember. I can hear it in my head, now I have to put it on paper. ta ta da da da da da, ta ta ta…. da da da………. 🙂

Thank you @Tom000-18 . I was listening to a video of a kid that recorded his first 6 years at intervals of every 6 months. He said what really helped him get better was when he started posting his music. I must have recorded this song 40 times before I got one that didn’t have a lot of mistakes in it that I would post. Also even thou, i’m not playing in front of anyone. It feels like the uneasiness of having others hear me isn’t as great. Thanks again.

@Cherie , Thank you, the course must be new. Because it wasn’t there when I started TAC. It’s very informative about what Tony is showing us with the Daily Challenges.
