I am just completing the 30 Days to play and dipped my toe into the Daily Challenge (Hotel California). I have to say my fingers hurt but they are slowly hardening. Tony's TAC approach is really working for me. I tried to learn the guitar about 6 years ago and experienced exactly what Tony described in feeling guilty and letting my tutors down through lack of practice and poor performance. The TAC approach has demonstrated to me that I can have fun and enjoy my time on the guitar. in fact I now feel I am missing something if I miss a day not picking up my guitar. In the few short weeks I have been part of the TAC community I have, for example, shifted from feeling it is impossible to hit a string with my "pinkie" to a sense that I can not only do that but I can do it consistently and with increasing ease. I am a long way from playing a guitar with a degree of consistency competently but I am on a journey and I am seeing regular improvements and I am enjoying the whole experience.
