How the 5-Star Path Fits Into Your Journey
The 5-Star Path does not replace your lessons. It organises them, helps you measure your progress and motivates you!
Beyond the 5 Stars
When you complete all 5 Stars, you unlock the next level.
Optional, fun, and highly rewarding.
You’ll get short challenges to develop higher-level control, and earn the “secret” 6th Star. The link below will unlock when you have passed the 5-Star Challenge.
Beyond the 5 Stars Keep Climbing
Every Star you earn is proof of real progress, not just more information. Take your time. Enjoy the journey. Let the 5-Star Path show you where you are and where you’re going next. I can’t wait to see your progress, and celebrate you on the Honours Board. Keep achieving your stars and you may be featured as a Six String Star!
