I worked around the internet building finger calus and doing some clean chord transitions. But it was not learning to play guitar as I was doing a monkey see monkey do. It led no where to really playing guitar. I had looked into TAC a few years back and saw that was learning, but I was to busy with life and my time was not my own. I am retired now and this class suits an adult or senior player that has more time available. I signed up and dedicated myself to a year of focused learning. The first week I improved drastically and although my playing was not perfect I was seeing alot of growth and was having fun when I had a small success. I had a lot of Yes! moments when something clicked and was saying it out loud to a empty room.That is a little crazy. I look forward each day to see what is going to be the next step and challenge. When I watch videos of people playing or teaching a song it is complete copy cat and not learning a foundation. Thanx Tony
