As a child of the 60's, I grew up with garage bands. I started "playing" guitar as a teenager, but like most of us, I picked up a few things here and there. I knew throughout my life that I had never learned how to really play. As a retiree, I decided that I was going to learn to play the right way. I was confused as to how to begin. That's when I discovered Tony's Acoustic Challenge. I am not very far in, but already I have learned more than I did in a lifetime of going back to what was familiar and easy. I find myself picking my guitar up several times a day because playing the blues shuffle makes me feel proud of myself. Thanks Tony! I Can't wait to see what is next.
