Hello everyone. I'm Scott, new here. I just started BGU 2.0 and was wondering if there is a way to check off lessons as I do them so I know where I left off?
There is a practice tool, although I readily admit that I didn't really grasp it's operation. So I just built a spreadsheet with a tab for each course, and then divided each lesson into 5 bite sized tasks (roughly 20%, each) and I just tick them off. Sometimes 20% isn't achieved in a week or more. Sometimes an entire lesson or three are completed in one sitting based on my previous experience. And because I'm a bit of a spreadsheet geek, there are formulas to show lesson progress, as well as overall course progress and a summary page to look at all the courses that I've completed, am currently pursuing and planning on working in the future.
Honest question, you're reviewing past lessons, right? Even with the lessons I get down, I am still going back and playing them in a different key, different bpm, different feel, trying out different chord substitutions, etc. So I can honestly say I have yet to check off any lessons really.
You could a record yourself playing each lesson, then post the recordings here on the forum. There are many benefits to this beyond just helping you track the progress.
I keep a Word document that lists all my courses alphabetically and the dates that I complete each section of each course. I periodically go back to review courses and add the review date after the completion date. This really helps me track my progress.
