UltimateTabs is my go to.
I also do a search for the song on YouTube. There will be a lot of choices, I have a few favorite channels that I gravitate towards.
I’ve heard that Songster is good, but I haven’t had much luck with it.

When trying to play music you are trying to do 2 things at once. The correct fingering with your fretting hand and the correct picking with your other hand. Trying to learn both at once is very difficult and the brain doesn’t learn very well when you have these 2 inputs competing for attention.
The best practice for this is to isolate the 2 hands and practice each individually. If you want to improve picking accurately only use your picking hand and do drills just focusing on accurate picking. Just a few minutes a day of this isolated practice will result in fairly quick improvement.

I have a 7-day practice routine so I can keep track of what to work on each day, otherwise if I rely on my memory I find myself either over practicing something, or neglecting to practice something.
So during the week it is the TAC challenge, followed by 2 of the other essential guitar skills, notes, scales, chords, arpeggios, picking, aural, & rhythm. And then end the practice each day with 2 or 3 new songs I’m trying to learn. I mix them up each day. So I might only practice notes 3 times a week and rhythm 4 times.
Sundays are devoted to songs and I work through my repertoire, trying to play and sing each song from memory (I struggle with this).

I found favorites problematic so I instead created a spreadsheet and copy the links to each lesson. I add the title, my notes, etc.

That was great. It is not easy to sing while playing guitar and you did a great job at both.

If you just click on the Skills link in the left hand menu it takes you to the Getting Started tab. You need to Techniques in either the menu or the tabs across the top.

They are sporadic and definitely not weekly. There was nothing for months and then suddenly a few last month. I think I heard about them from the weekly email.

You are not expected to master it. Instead spend at least 10 mins on it, doing the best you can and the mark it complete a move on to the next day. Progress over perfection.
It’s also perfectly ok to just practice a portion of the challenge. Maybe spend all your time on the first measure. These challenges come back around and the next time you will get even further. It’s a bunch of small steps over time.

I am just over a year in and I too sometimes find it hard to keep up with Tony. My technique that I currently use is to look at the tab while Tony is talking. Often I can play the tab without Tony and just listen to him to get the nuisance or some specific technique. Once I started watching this way it got so much easier to follow along.

You can only legally do cover songs for songs in the public domain.
There is another option that works for some artists where you have to allow advertising on your channel and YouTube will then pay the appropriate royalties to the artist.

Prince, The Eagles and Bob Dylan are some of the most aggressive about issuing takedown notices. So I will not do covers of their songs.

All songs are copyrighted. Don Henley is very diligent about tracking down videos that infringe on his copyright. Which is why I never post Eagles songs. Most other artists don’t care about individuals doing covers.
Was it listed as a public or private video?

Thanks Jeff. I have recently had a few A-ha moments where some puzzle pieces fell into place. Looking forward to more of those in the future.

Thanks Albert. Yes, my expectations were way too high. In most of my other endeavors where I devote as much time as I do to guitar I’m typically in the top 25% of people in that field. With guitar I feel like I’m in the bottom 10%. I just expected to be further along. It’s less about comparing myself to others than just comparing myself to my internal vision of where I should be. I’ll keep plugging along and maybe in another 5 to 10 years I’ll be where I feel like I want to be.

Thanks Loraine. I do supplement TAC and that is where I’m seeing most of my progress. I do appreciate the skills Tony teaches, they are all directly applicable to my other course.
