Play shorter sessions and space them out throughout the day (10-15mins).

I would recommend not playing through the pain to point of injury. There should not be blisters.

Forward progress over perfection is Tony’s theme.

It is ok to move on. All of the techniques will come back around through the Daily Challenges once you get there.

For me the main benefit of a new guitar is it makes me more excited to play it, so gives me a little extra motivation. That being said I’m already very motivated.

It is also beneficial to play on a guitar that is properly setup. You could take your current guitar to a luthier and make sure it is setup properly.

Finally if you want a new guitar and have the means, then get it.

I don’t know the definitive answer as I don’t recall that lesson but I’m pretty sure there are no other recordings. In recent daily challenges Tony has mentioned changing the video speed the speed control attached to the video.

I’ve been playing for 7 months and I still have to look at the fretboard when learning something new.

I some people practice in front of a mirror, you might want to give that a try.

Also perhaps break you sessions into multiple smaller sessions, so instead of practicing for 30 mins straight, do 15 mins take a break and come back, relax your neck and come back for another 15 mins

I have always had issue with the counter on TAC and started just tracking it myself months ago.

I just tried it and did not have any issues. I’m using the Chrome browser on Windows.

Perhaps try downloading the journal and open it in Acrobat.

Just bad timing. I have had that twice in the past month for maybe 10 mins. I think Tony and company have been making some modifications to the web site.

Day 5 is the complete song. Or at least Tony’s arrangement of the complete song.

Day 4 is sometimes an easier version of the song without all the embellishments.

That being said I have been with TAC for 7 months and I have never learned a song from here that I play. Partly because it was too hard in the beginning and now because I have a different routine for learning songs. (I too use Ultimate Guitar for a lot of my songs).

That’s not say that I don’t find TAC valuable. It teaches me unique techniques that I find invaluable when I go to learn a song.

If you mark a daily challenge as a favorite it will be saved in you favorite lists, otherwise you can not access previous months.

That being said, I copy the URL of each daily challenge and save it in a spreadsheet. So if there is a specific week you are looking for I can provide the links.

My understanding is that he stopped them in September around the time he stopped the Acoustic Tuesday show.
