I am about to hit my two year anniversary or being part of Tony's Acoustic Challenge and have learned so much. When I first started, I could play general chords and had a decent repertoire of covers along with others I've written. In the last two years, I have written at least 20 new songs using the skills from this program. I can now play up and down the fretboard, connect the dots of music theory, play individual notes with pick accuracy, palm mute, use vibrato, solo over a backing track, use alternative tuning, and use a slide. I've never been this consistent in playing and I'm currently on a 160 day playing streak. The challenges are fun, Tony is personable/relatable, and the community is kind.
