My classical guitar lessons got me out of grade 10 Latin class. I didn’t practice much and couldn’t latch on to music notation. (Never learned to speak Latin either.) I just wanted to play Beatles, Stones, Creedence, The Band songs I heard on radio. Since I had a guitar (nylon string) I learned some chords, sang songs, wrote some and for 50 years have been playing so-so. I wanted to be better but was wary of taking lessons again if it meant learning notation. Another hurdle for a septuagenarian like me is OA in my hands. I decided to push my luck, joined TAC and it’s paying off. When I play I’m able to forget about the OA for a while. Mental sharpness is improving too as I notice the chord transitions, scales and licks we learn weekly get easier to remember. You might not see yourself in my profile but I wish I had TAC when I was starting out. I’m enjoying the daily workouts, having faith in the process and putting time into a living art rather than an allegedly “dead” language.

The one thing that caused me to "hesitate" about joining is the cost. I'm 71 and 200.00 is a lot of money, but I took the risk, and I'm glad I did. I was a member a few years ago, and the reason I left was solely the cost. I'm doing better so I'm back. I did not have any trouble last time meeting my "10 minutes a day" commitment, but I guess I got out of the habit and it's not as easy this time. My goal is to do just that..at least 10 minutes a day. I will say this. I don't think I have ever limited myself to 10 minutes. It's always more. I like the fact that you can leave the challenge from time to time and take some of the individual courses. I really enjoyed the Fretboard Wizard, and still watch it from time to time. I plan to take some finger picking courses in the future. As far as the type of player this is best for, I would think someone that has "some" background with the guitar, primarily because the daily challenges are just too hard for a complete beginner.

I took piano lessons as a kid and could read music, and had tried playing classical guitar years ago and got frustrated and quit. I have just retired and made a commitment to myself that as part of my “fun” daily activities I would commit to learning to play or get rid of my guitars. I am 9 weeks in and have been playing daily and am enjoying trying new things that I never dreamed I would be able to play. I have a cup of coffee and take a guitar lesson every morning, and that inspires me to go back later in the day to tweak whatever I have learned that day.

I was hesitant to join at first, especially when I saw you wearing a Blackhawk Jersey! You see Tony, I live in Michigan, and as you have guessed, the Red Wings are my team. Tony, I am 62 years old, As a child (in the ‘70’s) I wanted to learn guitar and saved my money to buy a guitar. So I had my mom take me to Meijer in Kalamazoo and I bought my 1st guitar for $12. I knew nothing about it. Had my mom sign me up for lessons. My instructor looked at my guitar and told me it was junk and basically threw me out. To say I was heartbroken was an understatement. In 1992, I bought a Sigma. After 32 years, I still can’t play. I have started and stopped more times you can count. So here I am, recently retired. I saw a HD-28 Martin for sale. Decided if I bought it I would have to commit to a lifelong dream, so I did it. Now I have to learn. I listen to your 38 minutes and you hooked me. I have had 2 missed days of playing, since buying my Martin on 4/24/24!

Is this guy even real? Or is he some AI generated intity that has sifted through all of the thousands of internet guitar lessons and formulated the perfect plan to learn to play the guitar? This is far and above anything I have found in the past. It's amazing. I am light years ahead of where I left off in just one week.I've had a guitar for 50 years and couldn't even play one song from start to finish. From the lessons and practices I've done over the years I was learning all of the incorrect ways to play. This push through method is such a simple concept all of the best teachers have missed it. Tony is simple (no pun) He keeps it simple while encouraging his students to push on. Playing that song on the first was genius. If you want to learn to play guitar, no matter what your goals are or what stage along in your goal, you will move up exponentially with this instrution. Thank you, Tony. Your have a special gift.
