Hi

You don’t have to complete the skills courses they are a buffet as you put it.

The daily challenges work by each day Monday through to Friday Tony teaching a skill through the lens of a particular song. For example Technique , rhythm, improvisation, chord transition etc. These skills do not change although the song does. So by regularly turning up you practice the skill week after week.

Personally I have then chosen a song myself and practiced that with the skills I am learning, as the aim of the week is skill practice rather than song learning it seems to me, which I am happy with.

Hope this helps

I think we are supposed to use the scale to pick certain notes using the backing track as your band as it were, creating your own solo

I have been a member for a similar time. I know I am starting from quite a low base, so I do the challenge as best I can. I must admit at the moment I don’t try to follow the play video as I am just to slow so just stick to the learn video. Allowing myself just to move on when I have done the best I can do for the moment. If there is something I like ( like yesterdays lick) I mark it and use those as warm up exercises.

Same here

I find using the pick not easy. I definitely get caught on certain strings and definitely sounds quite twangy. Hoping with practice this might change. Also find the pick moves in my hand , but again sticking with it for now

Hi

I must admit I have not heard of the stuff marking itself complete. I think the easiest way maybe to start on the daily challenges next Monday, and go from there. Most people do follow the same daily challenges. You can always mark any day as a favourite and go back to it anytime as it produces your own playlist in your profile

I am no expert here so others may think differently
