With my undergraduate degree in psychology, specialized in educational psych and communications, I have to say that Tony has hit the nail on the head with his approach to teaching guitar! From keeping it interesting from day to day, to his motivational "speeches", to his "small wins", goal setting, and detailed instructions for those who may have just started their guitar journey, Tony does it all for everyone! I'm in my second year of the program, and I love every day! I also like his focus on consistency rather than perfection. I seldom get a challenge perfect, but I do my challenges daily, having missed only about 6 or seven days in the last 13 months, due to illness, unplanned travel or family visiting from out of town.. This TAC thing is well worth the cost!!!
