It’s just like anything else you remember what you practice. If I want to remember a song I add it to my practice routine and practice it everyday for at least a month. At that point I should be able to play it from memory. I might occasionally add it back into my practice routine a month later for a day or two just to make sure I still have it.

Great job turning it into a positive.
A lot of the lessons go too fast for me as well. When that occurs I do one of two things, spend my 10 mins giving a try and then just mark it complete and move on. Or I will sometimes spend the remaining rest of the week revisiting the problem lesson and working my way through it and ignore the rest of the lessons.
I have to remind myself that I’m not trying to master any of the lessons, but instead just expose myself to the concept.

I’m at the same point as OldBear49 and was coming to the forum to ask the same question.
I had looked at the first Daily Challenge (Monday’s) and was frustrated that I could barely get one measure of it figured out in my practice time. I was thinking I would spend 2-4 days on it, but it they go away that isn’t going to work.
It seems very counter-intuitive to me that I can get anything out of a daily challenge spending only 10 mins a day on it. I feel like I learned nothing in 10 mins.

I’m going to answer my own question here as I found the answer in the 30-day challenge PDF. I watch and learn all 3 skills on the first day and then practice all 3 the rest of the week.
That’s more than 10 mins a day that was implied, but that’s ok.

Interesting. I hadn’t really thought about a streak having control over me. I’ll have to think about that some. I guess I’m not sure what the downside is to trying to keep a streak going as long as it keeps me practicing.

Thanks for the ideas. I do plan on studying some music theory. Maybe I’m too rigid in my definition of practice, but I consider learning (like watching Tony’s videos) different than practice. For me practice is when my fingers are on the guitar strings. 😀
Maybe I should be less rigid, but overall it’s just a mental exercise and in the grand scheme of things means little. The important thing is I’m focusing on learning guitar every day.

I’m only 6 weeks into my restart after a failed attempt to learn guitar a year ago and I’m doing something similar. I have TAC and another course and about to sign-up for a third (doing a 2-week trial right now). I’m getting a lot more out of all of them because of the variety and different styles. Some lessons just resonate with me more than others.
Having different resources has made me progress faster and have more fun doing it.
