Well I am a beginner in the purest sense. I bought a new guitar and started playing chords I would find for free on the internet. I watched several videos and TAC kept popping up. I didn't think I was ready for a full on training course and honestly I still wonder if I am? My fingers don't stretch, they are constantly touching the other strings and dang if they don't hurt! But I'm glad I did it! I love playing and learning and progressing in my training. It has only been a week and I have been exposed to more than I would have on my own.. will I be able to stick to the schedule, maybe not, will I stick with the program, absolutely! I have played my guitar every day since I got it and it has been great! I plan to play everyday forever! Thanks to Tony @ Tac and also to Craig @Zaar guitars for my wonderful guitar!
