I am enjoying the Tony's Acoustic Challenge course. I have been a guitar "beginner" for years. The structure of the course is what keeps me coming back. I used to kind of wander around in my attempts to learn. Now with a structured routine I am staying with it longer than I ever had before. All I wanted to do was learn to play rhythm guitar on the acoustic. TAC is teaching me much more than I thought I wanted. I had previously thought I would never be able to flat pick or finger pick. What I have found is that even though TAC isn't focusing on rhythm playing as much as I had thought it would, My overall playing is progressing. I appreciate the idea of not trying to be perfect (not that it would happen anyway) but to make progress. I am 65 years old and have issues with both hands. I can't stretch very well. I struggle to get three frets and bar chords are almost impossible. In spite of all of that I am progressing and the most important thing is I look forward to the lessons. They are fun. Well, not all are fun. The week of bar chords was miserable but the rest have been fun. I say I am making progress, don't get me wrong, I still suck at guitar but I suck a lot less. Sean
