I hesitated at first because of all the mentions about cost of private lessons, without any mention of the costs of the TAC program. Be proud of TAC… let people know upfront of the ridiculously reasonable cost. I am not one who writes on websites and I don’t type well. After not picking up a guitar for 50 years, the self-paced TAC was a godsend. I’m coming from a rudimentary classical guitar background and this style of guitar study really gets me excited to practice but old habits die hard and I can’t stop after 10 minutes. I do think that some skills really need to be stressed(like picking…I’m terrible at it and just the thought breaks me out in a cold sweat). I definitely see progress but I rarely feel that I have mastered anything…but that’s ok! I even got rid of my old Giannini classical 3/4 guitar and got a Zager acoustic thanks to TAC.
