I completed session number 644 today. I love this approach to learning guitar. I've said it before, I think Tony secretly got a Bachelor's Degree in psychology. He uses so many applications of learning theory to get one motivated and KEEP one motivated. I took one-on-one lessons for a year, and that approach does not compare to Tony's approach! AND Tony's approach is much less expensive per lesson. You learn at your own pace, you get tabs with notations that tell you exactly how to play the piece you're learning that day. Tony has a great sense of humor. He's an EXCELLENT guitar player, and has great teaching videos and play along videos. It's a wonderful way to learn guitar!

I've had a blast since I signed up with TAC only a week ago. Tony is a pleasure to listen to as an instructor! His positive attitude is infectious. My fingers are killing me but I love it!!

I found TAC accidentally while looking at guitar reviews online. After checking out what TAC has to offer I hesitated to sign up because I didn't have a smaller size guitar yet and I was on a tight budget. My wife plays a dreadnought and it was an uncomfortable size. I determined an OM size would work best so I found an OM size that got great reviews and ordered one. The discount special Tony offered for a 1 year subscription not only helped me stay under budget but helped cement my commitment to follow through and learn to play. My new guitar hasn't arrived yet so I'm using my wife's guitar temporarily. It's somewhat uncomfortable but already I'm seeing improvements in my fretboard fingering and using a pick.I'm new to TAC and have started the 30 days to play challenge. I appreciate the approach of starting out. The suggestions for posture, relieving tension and the bite size learning objectives are very encouraging and easy to follow. I am really enjoying Tony's teaching style

lots of sites out there will teach me how to play a song! Only one place took me from basic beginning to advance in the art of guitar playing. TAC taught me all the songs by teaching me how to PLAY guitar!

I think the TAC is, so far, an efficient, fun way to learn and stay interested in learning the instrument. I was a woodwind instrument player a long time ago and the learning process was completely different and arduous. This TAC keeps one interested and enthusiastic without getting too much into reading music (but I would add a little bit about reading, just don't make it the main theme). That said, when you are teaching a fundamental scale I would name the key of the scale. The very beginners may or may not pay attention to that but those that have some music knowledge may appreciate. I would also mention or acknowledge the tenderness of the student's fingertips. It's real but about how long will it take to develop callous? All in all it's a great course. I'm going on a cruise soon and won't be able to take lessons and I am actually disappointed about that. That's significant! One last thing. Tony, I can see you have placed a lot of effort in this and I applaud you for that.

Oh MY Goodness. When I tried to learn guitar before, it was get a chord book. The C Chord was really hard for my fingers. But just finished the G, C and D chord issue on the 30 Days to Play, or whatever it is called. I got rid of my acoustic when we moved and kept my electric. Can't wait to get an acoustic now. But anyway, that was just a mind altering change when you said when changing chords from G to C, to use a finger anchor. While I am still slow at it, it was a game changer. And going from G to D and vice versa, that was so good since I don't have to move the ring finger either. Plus I really love the way you started everything out by "finger plucking" first and playing the strings. That was well thought out. First play low E and fretting A, them moving down the strings towards high E. That was so good. And then the power chords, where I am at now. I am a Guitar player! Looking forward to the new things that are coming down the pipe and I am just in the intro 30 days to play.
