    I am a newbie and I like that the daily challenges expose me to different techniques (most of which I can’t come close to doing yet). To your point, it’s not a huge investment to spend 10 minutes or so trying something new so I don’t balk. Cheers to you trying new things, too!

    Did you do the 5 day Routine (the introductory one with “Start The Oven”?) That’s what I did last week and this week I started with the regular 5 day challenge that everyone gets.

    I finished early and went right into the five day challenge last week. It’s very flexible. Everyone’s learning a little at a time on here. Good luck!

    I’m also getting the hang of guitar AGAIN – nice to know there’s someone else in a similar situation. I remember last time I was in a playing routine, maybe 20 years ago – I was so frustrated by barre chords and hammer-ons – and that’s exactly what’s driving me nuts again. But I like this method and I’m just going to walk away and trust the process instead of making myself crazy.

    Love that song too! I just started two weeks ago with TAC – this is really inspiring. Thank you!

    It’s funny you should say that. I signed up for the TAC emails but didn’t join for awhile. I’d keep seeing the emails pop up like a little reminder that I could have actually made some progress toward a regular guitar habit in all the time I spent ignoring the emails. I just joined last week and have found it really helpful in making the process fun and sustainable, at least so far.

    I’m curious about at what point you felt like you’d sort of “been there, done that” because I have stopped and started playing many times and have never really felt that way. Usually when I’ve quit it’s been due to getting frustrated in combination with some external event that physically makes it impossible to follow the routine, not because I feel any kind of mastery…

    Wow, that really motivates me – I’m only a week into it (for the umpteenth time, but first with TAC). Good on you, I hope to get to that point again
