I was a TAC member 3 years ago. Life happens. Work happens. Stuff happens. I am now into 5 years of playing acoustic and I am no where near where I should be in this journey. I pondered and wondered why I am not where I should be. It's because I've been guitar lesson hopping for so many years, in between dealing with work, life, etc. I have found a couple of excellent on-line programs but I could not figure out why I'm not advancing. Tony's daily chunks of lessons had and have given me the confidence to keep on going. I'm back after a 3 year hiatus of checking out the competition. I feel like TAC encourages you to think outside the box......he gives us just enough to tackle in one lesson and then put it all together. I still don't have the time I'd like to devote to TAC, but I'm sure as hell trying harder this time. I think in order to appreciate Tony's style of teaching, you need to check out other programs, or use TAC in conjunction wit

When I first saw what was being offered I thought it was too elementary for me because I've been playing for years, but as I looked further into it I saw things that I had always wondered about but didn't run across much being a solo classic rock act. I have learned a lot of useful things about the 12 bar blues of which I knew nothing. I've decided to see this course to the end.

The highly positive/encouraging approach and the lack of pressure to achieve "perfection" that is the basis of TAC is the key for success for me. It diffuses the frustration and stress I have often felt in the past and allows me to make "mistakes" so I can learn from them. It has been said that there are only three ways we learn, we make a mistake, someone else makes a mistake or we get lucky. In other words, two of the three ways come from "mistakes." After all, if we never make mistakes we are only doing what we already know and are not learning.

I've been a member of TAC for just over 2 months. I'm 69 and I wondered whether this would really work for me or not but I really want to start playing guitar (not just playing at it). I want to learn finger style instead of flat picking due to arthritis in my picking hand wrist which doesn't bother me finger style picking as much as holding and playing with a pick. I'm still searching for a pick that works so I can try a little flat picking. The things I like best are there are so many lessons covering evrything from stretching excercises, a flat picking jumpstart course, a finger style jumpstart course, technique challenges and especially the weekly challenges. I have learned to be patient with myself when I can't grasp a technique as fast as I think I should. I find myself wanting to practice more and more because there isn't the pressure to get it right the first time and I'm having fun. The materials and videos are great to be able to review as many times as I need.

I've been a member for a couple of months and I'm loving it!Tony's approach to each lesson is terrific. He's easy to listen to and has a great personality that really comes through in each video. Although I wish I was better then I am, its been a fun process so far. Go Leafs Go.

Picked up my guitar after retiring and hadn't really played in over thirty years. Went thru your 30 day challenge earlier this year. I wasn't much into blues at all. Just relearning chords and strumming to familiar songs. Now I need more...while I'm still young (at 74)!!! Going through the 30 day challenge part again and gaining some speed and accuracy. And having some fun. I can go through a lesson and go back to some old songs I like to play. Looking forward to the rest of the course.
