First Impressions? Wow!I'm 71 years old, bought an Ibanez T-320, 40 years ago (Japanese copy of a Martin D-28). I took it for set up and strings, it's perfect. At the start I took lessons, but life happened, marriage, kids, etc., so I "dabbled, and dabbled" picking it up, putting it down to learn at a later date. Now I'm retired and have more time, at 71, I better get after it.Everything you said with my first online encounter with you is true. I'm still starting the 30day experience but what I enjoy the most is that I sit down for a session with you and the end of that session I'm playing something. It's just not practicing cords, it's sitting down with you and learning something fun. I also find it beneficial to associate the learning time with an every day activity.All in all, it's just what I needed.An extra benefit, my son is a musician for Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, a bass player, with degrees in Music Performance. This learning experience will bring

53 yrs old. Just retired. Been a “dabbler” for the last decade off and on(mostly off🤨). I had plateaued a long while ago, and never got out of my comfort zone and progressed. I am committing to the process. I was always good with my left hand. Basic chords and transitions I was good at. My downfall was always my strumming/picking. I have worked hard for two weeks on my “behaviour modification “, and creating a “habit”. (During morning coffee) I do a lesson, then usually end up strumming for an hour or more with some fun, easy songs.Some of my lessons have been a challenge (blues shuffle etc), and I haven’t hit full speed yet, but find I circle back to them daily and am seeing progress.So far, having a lot of fun with it.I have a few buddies, also, recently retired who are also just starting out. We will be starting a 2x a month jam session to keep us motivated, and have some fun with it. I also went and bought a new guitar, which is much easier to play, a

I am finding playing the guitar challenging. I am a retired hockey coach and very process orientated. I like the process and believe that if I stick with it I will improve. I definitely need more than 10 minutes a day on each lesson. I love the encouragement that you provide.

Hi. I started out strong but it’s easy for life to get in the way. One way or another I am motivated to make it work. Your training format is attractive.

I’ve been playing guitar since 1979. I had 1 year of group lessons in my freshman year of high school. Since then I’ve played successfully for singing groups I was in, in church and for weddings. But, I’ve always said I was “just” a rhythm guitar player. I can play a variety of chords that I learned over the years. And I can do some finger picking. BUT, I’ve always felt like something was missing. I do very little with a picking out singular notes (like hammer ons and pull offs). I don’t play leads. I recently found Fretboard Wizard. Amazing!! It is filling in so many gaps. It really is as Tony says “opening up the entire guitar neck”. I’m most excited to apply the Nashville Number system to my church playing and also starting to dabble in solo playing. I highly recommend Fretboard Wizard to any player new or experienced. Tony teaches music theory in such an accessible format, and it will make everything make sense of how it fits together.
