Hi Reggie, and welcome to the TAC community! Since you’re brand new to guitar, my suggestion would be the Quick Start guide and then the 30 days to play (left side menu). The daily challenges can wait. There’s no hurry to get to them just yet.

@Kitsman Welcome to the TAC community! There’s no rule against doing both the 30 days to play and the daily challenges, but don’t worry about the daily challenges backing up or piling up while you work through the 30 days to play. The daily challenges have a weekly focus, meaning all lessons for a week build off the Monday lesson. Also, the weekly lessons repeat about every 8 months, and it’s okay to start the daily challenges any time. If you don’t have much experience with guitar, my suggestion would be to focus on just the 30 days to play. The dailies are available through a month, but they are not accessible when the new month starts on the 1st Monday of each month. But again, they will roll around in a few months.

It as a good week wasn’t it @Owen_D . I struggle with pull offs to, bu they do tend to get better with practice. Keep up the great work!

@Tom000-18 Im not sure when they’ll make the announcement, but you could always write support and ask them when I might become available,

Fantastic win @SgtSwug !

Glad to hear your surgery to fix the detached retinal went well @ted_h . That’s a scary thing to go through.
I thought you did extremely well at the SNL VOM too. It was great to hear you play and to meet you. Can’t wait to hear you play more & to eventually see the guitar you’re building for your wife.

@Ron49 Welcome to the TAC community! Have you tried the daily challenges? That would be my suggestion for being introduced to scales and warm ups. Mondays are always warm ups, and if you find a few you like, you should ‘favorite’ them (heart under video), and then incorporate them into your warmups. Also, Wednesdays are scales, and those are always great to use for warm ups to. Each week follows the same foundational skills and each day builds upon the Monday warm ups. Hope this helps.

Fun song @Guitargeezer-Jack — made me smile.

Hi @homeboy and welcome to TAC. Congratulations on completing the 30 days to play course. Typically, after the 30 days to play, you would take the next 6 chords. Suggest to begin the daily challenge on Monday. The format of the week follows a logical progression throughout the week and each lesson builds upon the previous lesson(s). Look through the Skills area and see if there are any lessons that would interest you. I began with the Jumpstart to fingerpicking, Jumpstart to Flatpicking and the Strumming Jumpstart. Hope this gives some direction, but this is your program and it can be anything, as much/as little as you like. Suggest the minimum of 10 minutes per day (just doing the daily lesson typically covers this) – more as you see fit, and it is all about having fun while learning the guitar.

I think that is such a great contribution @Dirk_R , and not only is it good for the residents, but it is also good for your soul and playing.

Whoop! Always better to do it yourself when there are no easily viable solutions.

There might be a few nuggets in there @Ukulelebug , but they were purely accidental – lol. Agree that @charlie_d had some great bits to try out next go around.

Thanks for the vote of confidence @Ukulelebug 😊

You’re so kind @Dirk_R , and you’ve come so far in such a short amount of time. I’m in awe of you!

Thanks so much for your insight @charlie_d . I had not thought about the same strings and how one pattern would work on the other same string, and I hadn’t thought of looking at the backing track and taking individual notes from the chords. Now let’s see if I can remember all this for the next improv I try.
