I am still slowly rehabbing from neck surgery. Both arms, hands, and fingers are weak weak and partially numb. Hard to form chords. Trying very hard to gain movement and strength. I feel guilty that I can’t practice.

Learning guitar has always been on my bucket list. As a senior with absolutely no music experience at all I am able to understand and make my way through the lessons slowly. I am enjoying the lessons and I’ll be continuing through the lessons as laid out.

I'm into my second month of the weekly guitar challenge, having done the 30 days to play and the 5 days in between. I'm doing what Tony encourages, making it most days to listen to the lesson and then spend at least 10 minutes, which usually becomes 30, working on the lesson. I personally find it better for me to go to the tablature to practice rather than try to keep pace with the Tony, though I do go back to that sometimes. Then I, often reluctantly, mark it complete. And guess what? Tony is right, I'm improving, picking things up faster, finding my way around the fret board and it's all sounding better even though I have not become anywhere near perfect at any of the lessons on the way. Two things really, this is just for me to improve my guitar skills, and learn and grow and enjoy, I don't have to perfect it for anyone else or anything else, and at 68 I think it's really good for my brain to keep it working and active and creative. And also a third thing, this is really fun!

I was looking for guitar lessons/education that would take me bit by bit to being better player. Tony's acoustic challenge has done just that! He introduces new things steadily in a broken down fashion that builds to something neat. He also emphasizes that trying new things versus mastering one thing before moving on is key to expanding your abilities and I have found that to be true. Highly, Highly recommend!!!!

I did the 30 Days to Play and that went very well. I then did the 5 Day Routine and again that went very well, but I got a bit behind in the days. I got out of sync with Tony's schedule (TAC Daily Guitar Challenges) and got side tracked to the 5 Day Challenges. I am part way through the 12 Bar Blues and am spending a lot of time trying to get through it. My fingers had a hard time spreading out and I went to the Daily Stretch for Guitar. Calluses are building up on my fingertips, but they are sore, and I can't practice as much as I would like to. I have played guitar over the years but not consistently (more off than on). Mostly playing chords. This is a great course for me to get my fingers doing something besides playing chords. Realistically, 10 minutes a day is not enough time, but the idea of playing every day is good. I also like the encouragement that Tony gives. I am 70 and thankfully, my fingers still work.

I am in the 2nd week of the 30 day challenge. It is going very well, first week put in 5 hours, but I was also gone 4 days for busy. Making up some time missed. Learning from the challenge and seeing improvement also. Definitely going to complete the 30 day challenge and then to your next step. Thanks for getting me back into playing again.
