Nice job! You’ll work out the vocals. I like the use of this song in the movie Donnie Darko.

It isn’t about mastery; but practice and improvement. Most people start with the 30 days to play (it sounds like you have been playing awhile though); then some of the skill courses (such as Your Next Six Chords, or such as you mentioned, the 5 day blues challenge). When you start the meat of the program; the daily challenges: each day Monday through Friday is dedicated to a specific technique. Each week you work on the same technique on that day but with different material from week to week. You are not doing them to master them; but to play as best you can (at least 10 minutes, probably more for many people); and move on; day by day to finish the challenge for the week.
It is establishing a routine; getting your fingers in shape; getting familiar with some guitar information (understanding the physical layout of the guitar and some guitar theory); and playing (no matter how good you feel about it at this point; there are beginners doing the daily challenges as well as more seasoned players). Some challenges will be more challenging (feeling over your head), others more encouraging. You will forget things (I will be 72 in a month, having started in TAC 4 years ago). The more you play, day by day, incrementally, you will be making progress. Some of the challenges repeat, and you will see how the next time through you are better at it. The information will come around again, and you will begin to understand it more, and retain more with repetition. It is a process. It works. Your aim each week with the daily challenges is to complete them (even when you feel you fell short in a week; which I have on many occasions). Keep going! -
Way to go! Enjoy the ride!

Nice job! Way to get out there and play live!

Yep; Ultimate Guitar and some Youtube videos. Just put a song title in the search bar, add chords and lyrics, and you will see other places also.

Welcome! Enjoy; day by day; play and have fun along the journey.

Way to go!

Fantastic!

@Moonhare Thanks so much for listening, and the gracious comments and encouragement.

That was great! I really enjoyed it.

That was awesome! It sounded so good; and the way you synced it with the video was excellent. The fact that you did this after your one year Taciversary blows me away.

Nicely done Kevin!

Yes to everything Moose408 said. You can do some of the other skill classes also. Just chipping away at the challenges; no matter how you feel you are doing; brings improvement. I felt overwhelmed so many times; but kept at it. I have a long way to go; but things have started coming together; and I am vastly improved over where I started. It is a process that takes time. You will surprise yourself at some point.
