    Once you get those chord shapes down for that tuning, things will ROLL!

    Hi @durwood and welcome to TAC. Let me start by saying that I’m in my 5th year here at TAC, so I’ve seen challenges repeat. I agree with what @albert_d and @jumpinjeff are saying. For me, when a lesson repeats (and they all do eventually) I try to “increase” the challenge for myself as a way of testing what I’ve learned in the past. Not only does that help me maintain what I’ve learned, but it also helps me to stay focused on continuing to learn. Let’s face it, when you come across a challenge that you’ve done several times in the past, you may have a tendency to just “blow it off”. But by trying to increase the “skill level” needed to complete the challenge, you can breathe some new life into it for yourself and keep your interest going forward. The operative phrase here is “keep(ing) your interest going forward”, because when you loose interest, you stop learning. And when you stop learning, you stop playing guitar, which is counter to everything going on here with TAC.

    Best of luck with your journey!

    Hi @jbroder3me-com and welcome to TAC. Have you done the “30 Days To Play” course yet? If not, that is where you should go next IMHO. You can start doing courses in the “Skills” section anytime you like, there is no time line for that, just what you can do when you feel like doing it. If you’re going to venture there, I would suggest starting with any of the “Jump Start” courses first (3 of them), they’re a great all-around learning tool for their subjects. As for “Fretboard Wizard”, if you know and understand the “Musical Alphabet”, and if you know the string names (and their location) on your guitar, then IMHO you have enough basic skills to start the course – you will learn so much more from there!

    Best of luck with your guitar journey

    Hi @jbroder3me-com , Yes you could do both the Daily Challenges and Fretboard Wizard (FW) at the same time, it all depends on how much time you have to spend on your journey each day – doing both at the same time will be time consuming. Or, you could do some Skills courses at the same time as the Daily Challenges. It’s your journey, there is no wright or wrong path. Some people do the Daily Challenges during the week and Skills courses or FW on the weekend.

    As for me, I’ve done all the Skills courses and gone through FW several times.
