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.

Fun! Keep on rocking, you’re getting there!

This is really good, your guitar is producing harmonics in the recording that are most interesting! Thanks for posting!

I occasionally experience this also, I go to post and it doesn’t get accepted. If I add a smiley to my message it will not post, that has been since day 1. I like using emoticons but TAC won’t allow me to.
Sometimes you have log out and back in again and posting starts to work. It’s not a perfect site, but it’s great in so many ways!

Can’t add much, @rainbirds3-gsgmail-com all the important points have been addressed. All I can say is that I have had quite the opposite experience with TAC since joining a year ago. All the other online programs failed to do what Tony did immediately: Make learning fun! During the intro sessions I was playing blues licks and power chords and having the time of my life. The other courses were teaching Strum Patterns 101. I loved the freedom to go right into playing classic licks.
But you have to put perfectionism to bed immediately. Give it a good try and mark it complete! Have fun, that is all!

Sehr schön gespielt! Well done!
Der Hund läuft so mir nichts, dir nichts herum! Dem gefällt es weniger! LOL!

Welcome to TAC! If you had a significant skillset in the past, I would think it would return more quickly than a person learning from scratch as you say. I hope you enjoy this program as much as I have, it’s just perfect for me! I was an absolute beginner in March 2024 and dabbled in various online courses until I found TAC on July 3rd. Aside from when I traveled to Europe last November, I have never missed more than 2 days playing guitars. I’m in this for good and I credit Tony and his great (very affordable) program.

Agreed, Loraine has been “Encourager in Chief” here on TAC since day 1 for me! Recently I have just moved and have a lot of stuff going on so I haven’t been quite as active in here, but she remains a top contributor!
If you spend any time in the forums, you’ll see she is often the only one to interact with me or anybody else who starts a thread in the forums! This place wouldn’t be the same without her. THANK-YOU, Loraine!

All I’ve saved is the Rhythm Challenge: https://tonypolecastro.com/exercise/speedy-vehicle/

Welcome back! Hope you find it’s fun and want to come back every day.

Wow! This guys both a virtuoso and bit of a shredder! Thanks for posting. If I play every day until I’m 80, maybe I’ll be……No, forget about it – As MC Hammer said “You can’t touch this!”

Not sure if this resolves the difference that you’re experiencing, but in Rythm Guitar Challenge Lovely Place (coming up on Thursday), Tony will tell you “If you want to play along with the original Eagles recording, slap a capo on the 2nd fret!”
-
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.

Don’t worry about the daily challenges being a bit over your head, I felt the same way and I’m know many of us have. Some are more challenging than others, but all have multiple layers for players at different levels. If all you can do is a couple of notes, that’s fine. You’ll get further along next time.
