Thanks folks – I’ll follow the suggestions from both of you! I’ll start my first week of Daily Challenge tomorrow.

I’m only a week or two ahead of you and was also unsure where to go next after “Next 6 Chords”. Someone here suggested the “5-Day Guitar Routine Challenge” in the “Skill Courses” and I think that’s turning out to be a good next step for me. Tony explains the purpose of the regular Daily Challenge mix by using an actual examples of the five focus areas. I suggest you try it.

Following on Alison’s question, I’ve also just finished the “30-Days to Play” and the “Next 6 Chords” and was having the same question, so I appreciate these suggestions. I haven’t mastered all that material, but I was able to learn and play it all pretty well (except for the Barre B chord! 😖).

I purchased the “Fretboard Wizard” when I originally signed up for TAC and I assume it’s available to start whenever I’m ready – so I’m trying to figure out when it should fit in to my development plan? Recommended to work thru some of the Jumpstart or 5-Day Routine collections first, or go ahead with Fretboard Wizard now?

Thanks for any further comments on this line of questioning.

Like a lot of things in life, guitars have all sorts of things that seem hard or scary until we do them once.

Always slack all strings way off before you start so there’s no tension effect. If acoustic, pull all pins with strings slack, remove the ball head from the bridge hole, hold all strings as a bundle with one hand while unwrapping each string one at a time from the post with the other hand staying a few inches away from the end. You can then just coil up the whole bundle and trash. Very little risk of injury.

Nice! Thanks to you and Davefive for the graphic. I had made notes as I went thru it, but this is a much better reminder.
