I've played guitar for 60 years. Four open chords in three keys plus a capo. The lead was me singing. The fretboard was a stick used to hold the open chord positions in place.I've learned more and had more fun playing in the last thirty days than in the last thirty years.Thank you, Tony!!!!

I've been with TAC for 8 weeks. I'm so glad I found Tony's Acoustic Challenge! I restarted playing guitar a few years ago when I retired to accompany my singing. I have mainly been a basic strummer with a few picking patterns. And now I'm learning so much more and I love it! My career was teaching adults vocational skills at a community college. I have to say that Tony's Acoustic Challenge has it all - All the right content and teaching methods/pedagogy. For beginning level and up.Thank you Tony.

Well, where to start. First started playing guitar around 20, but never had anyone to show me how. Now I'm 77 and want to learn. Been trying for about 5 years with no real success. Now I'm getting serious about it. Struggling with finger pain, but I know that just takes time. I've been working in the first week for 2 weeks in the 30 day challenge, and trying to get some calloses before moving on. I'm sticking with it on a daily basis.

I'm actually excited to pick up the guitar when i get home and play all the things I've learned, then log in when i have a few extra minutes to learn something new. I'm not a big fan of the blues so some of these lessons are more of an ugh to me, but I'm getting there! I started with a guitar that I've had for almost 20 years in my closet. My fingers were so painful i almost gave up...i took it in to see if the action was too high. It was waaaay to high but it was because the bottom was coming unglued. It was crazy $ to get reglued but instead had them take me to the acoustic guitar room. Wow! I found a Mitchell for just over 100.00 on clearance and it sounds so much more different than the old one! I'm glad i took it in instead of being frustrated and quitting. I love my new guitar, and it's SOOOOO much easier to play. I love the course!

I’ve been noodling for over a decade with my biggest issue is time and knowing what to practice. TAC gives me focus and motivation to stick with it. I can carve out 10 minutes a day and his lessons are engaging. Plus Tony’s attitude and demeanor makes it enjoyable to watch the videos. Thanks for the tools and inspiration! Guitar On!!

Just joined. I am 68 years old and took up the guitar to help my fingers keep supple. The fretting exercises in the blues section are certainly helping with that. I haven't started on the course proper and already I am feeling the benefits. My aim is just to be able to play a recognizable tune and the progress from there. Must say I did not think there was so much memorizing of patterns and note recognition which will hopefully keep my brain ticking over as well. Impressed so far. Cannot wait to see my progress at day 30.
