Welcome to TAC and well done with your first small win! Not so small, really.
-
Yes you can. Up to 6 week old challenges are available directly on the home screen. This video will show you how. Sorry it isn’t narrated for some reason my voice isn’t getting picked up. But it’s simple enough to just click where I show you.
For anything before that you have to do something different. I would try searching the forum because this question has been asked quite frequently before.

We’ve all had this happen, we sit down watch Tony and play our guitars and then the next day the site says we missed yesterday and the counter starts anew. It’s happened to me a number of times.
I have a resolution but it won’t fix your past losses. It will prevent this from happening going forward.When I sit down at my computer the first think I do is click to the home page. When you do this you can literally watch the session counter roll over to the next number. I’ll post a video of it shortly. As soon as I remember to record it.
Every TAC page has the Acoustic Challenges logo in the top left corner, click on it and you’ll be taken home and you can watch your counter advance.

No move on! We really should not be thinking in terms of perfection in TAC. Give it a good 10 to 20 minutes and mark complete! Once you get to the daily challenges you may not be able to do more than one measure, and that’s fine! Mark complete and continue. You want to consistently show up every day and play, Don’t worry about completion/perfection!

Congratulations!
The 3 finger A chord is pretty tough, lots of variations of it. I have pretty large fingers and I play mostly on a mini guitar so if I use a 3 finger method, it’s usually #2, #3 and #4
To make things easier, you can simply barre the D, G and B strings with the index(#1) or middle(#2) and either mute the high E or don’t strum it.

It’s a 34 hour drive for me, guess I’m not going! lol!
Looks like fun, hope you find somebody to go with you.

Others have reported the same thing, but it loops for me.
I have had other issues with the site that are now resolved and still others that continue. Never had this not-looping issue though.
One of the weird ones is that I can’t post any smileys. Others post them because I see them, but if add a smiley face, it just won’t post. Now I tried to add a smiley and actually got an error message. So that’s new:
ERROR: The following problem(s) have been found with your reply:Please try again. -
My goodness @Bill1am! May God bless your poor soul!
Lost your mom, wow! Your story was so matter-of-fact like! Nice twist with that unexpected guitar offering itself up as you were grieving.
-
@lecassandra it happened and you lived to tell the story! How wonderful!
I’m sure I’ll get put on the spot at some point. My whole family knows I’m learning and I have a son in law who is a music major and for the past 4 years is the music director in the church I am now attending. Another son in law used to lead worship in my previous church before they moved back to Texas recently. They’re good players and I’m not, but they are inspiration for sure!
Thankfully the 3rd son in law does not play, he is music buff though.

@Wyatt I have this issue every day. There is a thread with solutions as mentioned by @BarbaraM

No problem @dld2608gmail-com , like I said you can only back 6 weeks. If you need to go further there are options. Check out this thread:

When you’re new, your home screen may look a little different. Once the system catches up to your status (assuming you have completed the intro lessons 30 Days and 5 Day routine) you should see a link to this months bench mark at the top.
-
I’m 58 weeks in, so I’ve already seen a number of challenges more than once. Yes they remain the same. The benchmark challenge weeks repeat about 3 times a year, you start to get very familiar with those. You are about right in your assessment.
-
Absolutely @SCGobbler . You can search the Forums and you’ll find a wealth of feedback from others on the same topic. I could have gone on for several paragraphs to drive home the principle but it’s already been said and documented.
Try searching on the word “stuck” for example! Don’t hesitate to ask questions in the Forum though, no question is dumb!

@Bill1am that symmetry extends 4 more notes than I mentioned in the earlier post:
the mirror begins with a 0 -2 hammer on the G , followed by
the 0 – 3 <=> 3 – 0 on the B, and finally 2 – 0 back on the G
