Really enjoying my 30 day challenge, after completing the 5 day intro. I bought a guitar at age 20 in 1978, and never really stuck with it. Now I am retired and have the time and inclination to play every day, along with other deferred interests like Tai Chi and meditation. TAC provides coaching and encouragement, positive feedback, and a well-structured syllabus that is intuitive and quite easy to follow. On a parallel track I am learning music theory which has been a great compliment. Trying to catch up to Robin Trower!

I like it a lot so far. It’s only been a week but I’ve learned a lot and I really enjoyed the blues song we learned. It helps a lot to learn in small chunks and then put the pieces together. Looking forward to next week! The encouragement Tony gives helos a lot too.

I’ve kind of been a plunker for Many Years with work and raising kids, never could find the time to sit down and master the guitar. Now that I’m recently retired I find the time even though I’m busy so far it’s been very enjoyable, but I can see our progress fast.

I signed up for TAC because the online ads I saw described my situation to a T (recently retired, had a guitar for 20 years, made noise with it off and on, but never got past a few basic riffs etc.). With TAC, I find there is a structure to the course and I'm looking forward to learning each day's lesson. Prior to TAC, I would get bored/frustrated after 10-20 minutes and put the guitar down. With TAC, I find that I am working on the lessons daily for 1-2 hours and never getting tired of it. Best of all, my wife has commented (without prodding) that she hears a confidence in my playing that she never heard before. Still a long way to go, but I am enjoying every minute of it!There are still plenty of days where I feel like I'm drinking from a firehose, but I'm game to keep going.

TAC is brilliantly laid out for any (guitar) skill level - from beginners to relatively skilled players. What I believe makes Tony’s guidance outstanding besides targeting all skill levels is how he breaks lessons into chunks homing in on a small numbers of barres so as not to overwhelm the learner. Furthermore, lessons vary from easy to learn to harder ones that are quite challenging, but not insurmountable. At first, I didn’t think online teaching would be more beneficial than in-person lessons, but I very soon found Tony’s method/sessions to be more beneficial to me than in-person teaching. The learning lesson followed the play session (at one’s preferred tempo) is remarkable. I find that generally within 30-45 minutes I have a session under my fingers. Although ten minutes of playing (minimum) only is what Tony espouses to progress your guitar journey, his way of teaching enthuses you suitably to surpass that minimum without realizing it. Bottom line - an exceptional program.

Review of Tony's Acoustic Guitar ChallengeI highly recommend Tony's Acoustic Guitar Challenge! As a beginner, I’ve found his teaching style to be both effective and enjoyable. Tony is a fantastic instructor who breaks down complex concepts into manageable lessons.Each week, he releases five lessons from Monday to Friday, each focusing on a different aspect of guitar playing: Technique Challenge; lick; improvisation with scales, rhythm, and ending with chord transitions on Friday. This structured approach makes learning feel both natural and rewarding.I trusted Tony's promise that just ten minutes a day would yield results, and he delivered! I often practice much longer than that because I’m having so much fun. Tony's Acoustic Guitar Challenge has helped me develop a consistent routine and truly enjoy the process of learning. If you’re looking to learn guitar in a structured and engaging way, I wholeheartedly recommend giving Tony a try! You won’t regret
