I was curious about the five core skills of guitar playing. I have been playing for many years and had never seen so clear and concise a description of my relationship with the instrument I play. The free five day introductory lessons really impressed me. A couple or three friends have pointed out that I am not a beginner and the music covered in TAC is pretty far removed from the Traditional Irish repertoire I spend so much of my time playing and performing. I have found that the five skills are pretty universal and transfer well. There's the physical aspects, better pick control, greater finger and hand strength, and improved muscle memory. Let's not forget the cognitive benefits of focused hearing, real time analysis and response while playing. I am much more aware of opportunities to throw in a lick or add movement with a well placed bass line. It has been years since I was a beginning guitarist. I would have benefited so much from a program like TAC. I feel that this program delivers a jump start, or in my case a restart, for any serious player.
