So far good. I’ve been playing for a while but never really worked at it. Just a week in and I’m getting the 12 bar blues down. Feeling better every time I play. Looking forward to getting better and back into it. My goal is to one day play in an old man cover band!

I always wanted to learn to play the guitar, but I was hesitant to try because I am not well educated on reading music and am not musically gifted. At 67 years old, I feared my hands and my mind were no longer nimble enough to learn how to do play. My wife bought me my first guitar for our 40th anniversary. I immediately signed up for TAC after seeing some of the Facebook posts and consulting a performer friend who said that Tony was a great teacher.And she was right! It **is** daunting to try to stretch fingers to play chords, or to get clear and crisp notes while fretting. But Tony's constant encouragement and admonition that it is not only okay to be imperfect and experience difficulty has propelled me through my first week. I can already see a HUGE improvement, and am anxious to learn more!

TAC has changed the way I practice guitar. I look forward to a new challenge every week day and then I repeat the 5 lessons on the weekend. I’m having a lot of fun with it and Tony is so motivating. It’s also nice to know that I don’t have to be perfect to move on! I think this course is great for people like me who need steady guidance on what to practice and how. I also love that we learn from songs and learn different aspects of the song from strumming to soloing to embellishing chords, etc. The guitar stories are great as well! At first I was hesitant to sign up because I was afraid I would not stick with it but the opposite is true. Even after being away on a trip most of the month I could not wait to jump back in! Thanks Tony!

I'm a rank beginner to start. 3wks into the 30 days section. I've been a craftsman/ artist most of my life. A very visual learning person. I do woodworking ,chainsaw carvings, and a little timber framing as well. I started the Challenge to try to expand my creativity and focus . I've chosen to learn an instrument to that end. I like how Tony has this set up because it gets me out of my over analysis mode. I fumble with " Fat Fingers" when it comes to chords but have finally hit a G chord cord a few times. The C and D "not so much," yet. Ha. all in time. I'm committed to at least a full year . I suspect I'm hooked for a much longer term. FWIW: I'm 68yrs. old. thanks,Paul

I started guitar lessons 30 years ago. After less than a year, "life" and "more important things" got in the way. A few of months ago, I had a renewed interest in playing and decided to take a few lessons. The trouble was, the teacher wanted to teach me how to play a song, while I wanted to learn to play guitar. I saw a few "Play like Clapton in 30 days" type ads that, well, you know...Several YouTube comments highly recommended TAC. After watching a couple of Acoustic Tuesdays, I felt comfortable enrolling with TAC and I'm very glad I did. I'll never be "Clapton", but I'm learning and, best of all, having a great time!

I'm a long time "musician" (piano and trumpet through high school) so I read music and understand the theory. Been playing the guitar for 3 years (after a VERY long hiatus). My wife bought me a Taylor 215 CE Koa for Christmas 3 years ago and I've been trying to take the next step so I thought I'd give it a try. While some of the lessons are very basic I love the concept of playing for 10 minutes EVERY day! I'm progressing well and so far there hasn't been any "oh I can't do this" moments. I'm retired so unless I have something out of town I try and play every day. I looked up the fretboard wizard but honestly didn't feel the price was worth it since I already have the theory.....
