TAC is the best guitar learning platform, bar none! I firmly believe that it stands alone in it’s design to draw you in daily and provide fun lessons for players and many different levels. That isn’t an easy thing, no 2 players are identical in skill level and in what they find interesting. It would not be hard to be boring for some, but even very good players say they get something out of the challenges.
That said, there is always room for improvement and many active members and newcomers come here with good intentions and offer suggestions. Accessing past challenges is something that comes up very regularly. It’s interesting that Tony & the course designers gave us direct access to lessons going back 6 weeks and deemed that sufficient. There are are requests and questions that are also repeated with regularity.
It would be over the top if TAC had a Knowledgebase. If you don’t know what that is here is an example. They are almost always behind a paywall but sometimes you can get a glimpse of what it looks like. It’s essentially a database of Knowledge. You can see the structure here but in order to get to the articles you have to have valid login credentials:

This continues to dog me but actually not so much here in the forum, more in the comments area under each challenge. There I’ve been running into issues daily. The first post of the day is fine but if want to not just leave a single comment, but perhaps say hello to somebody or just post another comment in the same area, then tonypolecastro.com invariably wants to say something.
He never actually says what he wants to say, but the message I’m feeling is: “Foghett-abahd-it!”

Hey @ronan-58comcast-net , welcome to TAC. I turned 66 in July, been here for a year. Still miles to go, before I rest. You made an excellent decision to come here.

Welcome to TAC! Hope you love it as much as I do.

Amazing what Tony Iommi was able to do with his protheses fingertips! He adapted and it is said that playing with this handicap led to what we refer to as heavy metal.

I had this issue again today. I went to post and then got a nice box saying:
“Tony Polecastro says “
I tried it in another browser and still could not post. Something is definitely amiss.

Don’t know the tune but another excellent performance Kevin!

Welcome Anniel! How cool that you have learned to build guitars, I am so envious of you! I wish I had found my love for guitars sooner, because at 66 it just seems a bit late to learn. I bought a few small luthier tools but I haven’t introduced them to my instruments just yet (or only very briefly and casually), perhaps I have a bit too much respect for the guitars and I don’t want to hurt them too badly.

Honestly I don’t think you would hurt yourself by “clepping” the 30 days. However I am not sure if the system will let you start daily challenges until 30 days are up, you might ask in chat support, that’s your orange circle on the home page bottom right.
If you are prevented from going into the Dailies, then start looking through the skill courses. I’m sure you can find some things that are challenging there. Also I’ll post a link to a Googlesheet that will let you link directly to many of the daily challenges.

LOL! The Blues Brothers is one of my favorite movies from the SNL pipeline. Right behind 1941.

Sweet @Moose408 I see you made some improvements!

@Loraine, clearing cache does not appear to apply. I have tried using different browsers and on multiple devices and the behavior follows from browser to browser and onto my android phone and tablets. I haven’t pulled out the old linux laptop since moving here but I’m almost certain I would see the same there.

@mezzok and @jumpinjeff
That method allows you to search within the forums but this will not return any teaching by Tony. To my knowledge there is no official way to search for lessons (Challenges). There are, however, unofficial channels:
1. the googlesheet by @Moose408 – in my opinion the best way…thanks Moose!
2. you can call up the lesson from the Web by it’s title. You have to know the exact phrase for that to work. I have described this in detail a number of times. I was able to pull up one of these iterations by searching the forums on the word “title”

I’m not giving up hope that Tony returns at some point. Not sure what he’s up to besides raising a child, but he did make an appearance in the Benchmark Forum last year.
