Tomo and George:
Learned acoustic when I was 6 at a summer camp...on and off for decades (gulp...actually half century). Self taught...with a couple of theory classes in HS concert band (I was percussionist and site reading). Then guitar Punk Bands and garage soccer-dad bands late in life...but now I'm starting all over. I want to start at the beginning and learn without any bias...no skipping ahead if I'm bored! Need to put in the work and follow in linear mode.
I love your Guitar Wisdom online! I love that it's a living thing as you're posting NEW videos timely. I also like that you update ones you've already posted (beginning Triads, then a 2021 update due to feedback from your subscribers). I'm unlearning bad habits and beginning with The basics and I'm bouncing to the "Fundamentals" as directed. (So much for linear.)
Here's my need/ask: can you build a pdf flowchart that shows the true path from the start to each completed level (Beginner, Intermediate, and so on)? After a dozen lessons I'm getting confused how to STAY ON THE PATH. I know I can browse. I know the Beginner Series is organized in thumbnails from Left and you can navigate Right...which would normally mean they are ascending in complexity to build on the lesson to the left. However, it changes from Acoustic to Elec (I play both...so no problem if that's the intent) and there's no flag or milestone that suggests stopping the Beginner flow in order to go over to Foundation/Technique for X number of lessons, before returning to Beginner lessons. If there was a tree for navigation, it could also show the Next Video and a branch to the exact same module that was updated to 2021 (like the two side by side and you can choose either or suggest you watch BOTH to complete the lesson). If you've passed competency at a stage, then you can jump out of your swimlane to watch something from another series (like improve). When you began this project I'll bet it was a nice catalog and I suspect it was easy to organize and subs can follow...now, as you've wonderfully kept adding, the library is getting larger and larger/disperse. That is AWESOME!
I can imagine if you were in a music store taking a lesson there'd be an old faded Mel Bay wall poster showing the map from newbie to accomplished (over years).
I know this is a long post. If you want, I can do a graphic of a flowchart of where things went from the early building blocks to confusing for me. (I think I can just make the little thumbnails in powerpoint, export as a .jpg and upload to this thread...if you want.) IF THIS EXISTS AND I JUST CAN'T FIND IT, then paste the link...I'm easily confused and it might just be right in front of me...or a couple of clicks on the menu, within the site.
Thanks for reading and keep producing this wonderful content. I'm sharing with lots of people in similar stage in life and they said they'll subscribe to Guitar Wisdom. - Carl

Thanks, George and Tomo-san...
The student who asked the "ORDER OF LEARNING (CONTENT IN ORDER)" did a waaaay better job of asking what I did...and in a fraction of the words :-). I'll follow that thread!
