No question that Tony is an excellent teacher and very methodical in his approach. The lessons, tabulature, and practice play are extremely well done. Learned many techiques but did'nt master them yet but that's the next step. I do, however, wish that we could employ what we were taught by applying the techniques to popular some popular songs. I'm 82, so my definition of popular songs didn't line up with Tony's. Having said that, I will continue to explore and hopefully develop an ear for music and improve my guitar skills
