One week in and so far, so good. Excellent is a better word. The fact that I'm really enjoying the learning process with the tools Tony has developed says it all ("enjoying" is the keyword).

Hi Tony, I am a complete novice. Just one month ago I started back into TAC after taking a break working 12-15 hour days and retiring. I determined to spend (fresh/rested) time on TAC daily challenges and was enjoying it. I was progressing, how be it, slowly. But that is OK, I planned on repeating to progress. I began to see some pieces of patterns emerging and that was exciting. Then fretboard wizard II came out just in time! The timing was prefect. It is filling out the patterns I was seeing and I am REALLY enjoying it. Right now I am learning guitar for personal relaxation and I can see myself joining my family in jamming. Thank you so much for these courses and the structure of these courses. (Although I have tried to learn guitar in the past a few times, those courses were not fun and I only stuck with them a few days or a week before losing interest.) Your teaching rocks! Thank You!

FbW1 was pretty difficult for me. I made it through about half the course in my time since picking up the guitar a little over a month ago. This first lesson for FbW2 is excellent. Thank you for adding the practical play along exercise reviewing each note and shape. It was very helpful for me. Thank you!

I picked this information up from FW1 — and it is definitely a “light-bulb” moment in my music theory. I started playing piano at age 8 and had “theory” lessons with it as I progressed. By age 17, I could play lots of things, but I still had major deficiencies in theory, so I started with a new teacher with the understanding that I would get lots of theory and no more recitals. Needless to say, it was the same old drill — lots of memorization for a recital and no theory, so I quit.I started TAC in the fall of 2020 at age 69 — a total newbie on the guitar, and I can honestly say that I have learned more theory in TAC than I ever expected and learning about the major scale pattern finally made all the different major scales make sense to me. I was like Tony — trying to memorize all the different scales — and it never did “stick,” so the information here is of a solid foundation for understanding the “why” of all the major scales have the flats and sharps that they do.

I’m pretty darn sure I’m already hooked on this course. It is reinforcing some of the stuff I kind of knew but really didn’t until I did the play through. I will repeat this and probably many others several times.

The same material is offered in FW1 but is undoubtedly clearer and easier to understand in FW2. The flats were covered in much better detail, or I was ready to receive the information. “When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.” This course is well worth the time and expense. I am genuinely impressed with the new FW and would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn theory, a new or intermediate learner. I have been with TAC for over 2 years and this is the best I have seen in any program I have researched. The manual is a gold standard for guitar theory.
