You just start wherever TAC is in the rotation. Today we are on lesson 18. Every week is a self contained lesson and the elements taught are repeated many times throughout the year. It doesn’t matter if you start with lesson 1 or 50, you just jump in.
When I started I received an email with a link when it was time to jump into the daily challenge. I still get them every Monday and they always go to the current lesson.

That’s great that you feel your confidence growing. It’s a wonderful experience!

Yes, it’s another one of those occasions where the calendar got garbled. I’m not sure what’s going on in the TAC Techie World.

Yep! That’s how it is!

You can take it at whatever speed your comfortable with @dpotiemsn-com Some guy did the 30 Day program in an afternoon. Everybody comes in a different levels.

What a blast @Philb , epic Led Zep song. I was a few weeks away from seeing Bonzo, Plant, Page and Jones (for the first time) in Montreal in October of 1980 when the unthinkable happened and John Bonham died. Tour cancelled! The Levee is one of my all time favorites, such an epic recording with those crashing drums through the stairwell! The crazy stuff bands did on those days to get effects.
Nice job trying to get that rhythm there with those quick emphatic up down strokes, Bonzo style!

@JerseyNewbie as memory serves during the 30 Days he teaches some of the 12 bar blues content out of order and it may confuse you a bit. I think there is even a lesson where the play video is not exactly what’s tabbed. It’s nothing earthshattering, it won’t matter. The daily challenges do line up better, although members have spotted some flaws here and there. It’s all good, it means we’re paying attention!

I wish you all the best in your endless guitar journey, John. Onward and upward!

When I travelled to Europe last year for 10 days I just skipped most of it. I was able to do some of the second week because I came home on Friday and had the weekend but I didn’t go through all challenges. You won’t have gaps, the same topics will come again within a few weeks in a different challenge and the challenges repeat at least once a year (benchmarks every 4 months). I did logon from my phone a few times just to see what I was missing.

Derived from Spanish names namely p = thumb (pulgar), i = index finger (Ãndice), m = middle finger (medio), a = ring finger (anular), and when used, often c = little finger or pinky (chiquito)
I’ve also seen the following numeration
T – thumb
1 – index finger
2 – middle finger
3 – ring finger
4 – pinky finger

@Skyman911 aren’t you a lifetime member?

@anthony3
Every week is a self contained lesson, when you a miss a week because your life happens, it won’t matter at all. It’s designed to teach things repeatedly in a cyclical fashion. That’s why newbies can join any time of year and just pick up where all the TAC students are. It makes things nice because everyone (aside from the intro 30Days and 5Days) is on the same lessons. When you need help there are hordes of TAC members at various skill levels doing it with you and willing to share experiences with you.Even individual daily challenges are self contained in a way. If you miss Mon, you can skip and start Tuesday. If you are a very new player it can be extra difficult to come in on Thurs or Fri since those are most advanced concepts, but you will still get something out of it regardless.

There will be scales to “practice” (yes, kind of forbidden word since it sounds like work) every week. Not to worry if you didn’t “memorize” the scale from the intro course.

I don’t know @Skyman911 flights within European countries have crazy baggage restrictions. I looked into it before my trip and decided it just wasn’t worth spending the extra luggage fees. It was hundreds potentially, you could buy a nice used guitar.

Perfect! @Chiko
I find there is always something that I did a little better than the last time.
