Been using the system for 8 weeks now. I had played guitar for years on and off and gave up because I would learn something, stop playing and then come back and start over. Never making significant progress. I feel like there is constant progress and I just follow the system and don't worry about being perfect.

I was hesitant at first, wanting to make sure it was something I could stay with for the long haul. I hadn't really seriously played my guitar since college days, and I'm in my late 60's now. But my love for music, and your teaching style, made it feel right very quickly.Lastly, I feel this is perfect for someone who has played, and wants to embrace guitar playing again. I also think your teaching method is solid for a beginner too. Your emphasis on consistency, not perfection, is great. I find myself playing more and more each day. Thank you!

Hi, my name is Barry and I am just completing the first two months on TAC. I was going to join over a year ago but was reluctant due to time constraints and trying to decide whether the program was legit. However, my schedule changed back in the spring so I have more time to pursue playing guitar again. And, Tony's approach really made an impact, especially the philosophy that we don't have to be perfect to enjoy ourselves. I love the daily challenges and the variety of skills we learn that complement themselves as we progress. Also, the learning and playing videos are great. It is working for me and I am having a blast although I still have a lot to learn. Thank you!

I played guitar some in my early 20s, and decided to take it back up again now in my late 60s. I had seen the ads on the internet for Tony's Acoustic Challenge and noticed that most of the people on the ad were also senior citizens. I took the plunge for a year subscription now that I have the extra time being emi-retired from medical practice. I've been at it now for nearly 2 months and can now play about an hour per day, 5 days/week. Early on, my fretting fingers could only last 15-20 minutes before they were just too sore to practice longer. The progress is very gradual, but still noticeable. I now look forward to playing guitar every day since Tony's course seems to be geared to older adults, like me, who want to learn guitar and have fun doing it. Just the other day, I was telling my 43 y/o son that, at my age, it is nice for me to have something that I am getting better at, instead of getting worse at with age. Thanks Tony for the great course!

Hi Tony. I am enjoying your class very much. I decided to sign up because your ad seemed to make sense and you came across as a guy who could teach guitar. I like the method of daily challenges which lead to an end of week lesson, pulling them all together. I am learning a lot more about technique, ways to embellish playing and general structure of how the guitar works. There are some lessons I just can’t get my fingers around as yet, others seem really comfortable. My issues have been that I have good days where I think, so that was great, I am getting better and enjoying playing, but then I go to bad days where I feel like I am Sisyphus rolling a rock up the hill. It can be frustrating. As for now I will most likely continue my lessons up to 6 months at least and then review to see if I am getting anywhere. Thx again. Ed

I've been "piddling" around with chording a guitar for 30 years. Never tried to pick, etc ... I've learned more in the 30 days and 5 day programs than in all those 30 years!
