I've been playing guitar now for a few years but felt like I hit a plateau. I can strum through basic songs and sing along but I've been wanting to add that next level to my playing, the fills and ornamentation that really make songs sound great. I came across Tony's Acoustic Challenge and thought I'd give it a try. I've only been doing the Challenges a few weeks now but I really like the way Tony breaks things down into 5 skill groups and gives you a piece of music to practice that relates to those 5 skills. If you are more interested in working on your rhythm playing then you can focus more or that challenge. By using a model song as well the Challenges give you the tools to be able to play though a song adding as much or as little detail as your skill set allows and gives you something to build on as you advance as a guitar player. So far I've picked up my guitar more this past couple months than I have in a while. Thanks Tony!

Hi, Tony!I've been at this for a while and I joined to improve my skills. I taught myself and now I want a professional perspective.I just recently joined. I know the fundamentals but I enjoy the Daily Challenge. I look forward to your teaching and you help me discipline myself to practice every day. Your presentations are well thought out and your knowledge is a benefit to anyone who wants to play, not piddle like me. :-)

I took lessons back in junior high school and never progressed very much. Fast forward 50 years and I ;m trying again how to play this thing called the guitar! My win so far is learning the different shapes one can use for the same root chord. Looking forward to learning the fretboard more completely.

Thank T! Been treading water in the guitar pool since college. I’m loving picking it up each day with an actual purpose. In only two months I’ve been able to understand more about the fretboard than I had for 20 years of dabbling. No joke. Credit to your system. Strong work - thanks and please keep it up.

Thank you Tony, and your entire team! Like many TAC members, my guitar journey started as a kid. Played a lot through my 20's until family and career took center stage. My old guitar lived in its case for better than 30 years but for a few short attempts to get back in the groove. With retirement looming, I finally dedicated myself to making music again. I started live group lessons and had fun but progress was slow. Stumbled upon one of Tony's videos on how to develop an effect practice routine and joined TAC right away. That was nearly 4 years ago and the positive change in my life has been profound. I play my guitar daily, practice with focus and have FUN with the guitar. I am now a better guitar player than I was as a young man. I've met so many wonderful people, both local and around the world through TAC. I start my days with Tony's daily challenge. Over the years Tony has continued to innovate and offer new and inspiring lessons while maintaining the core principles of TAC.

I have been a TAC member for about 6 months. I played when I was a kid and got stuck. For years! I did not like the idea of going back to lessons but was ready to resume my guitar journey. I like the idea of playing daily, but there are some weeks when I am traveling or work is just too crazy. It doesn't matter; I just pick up wherever the daily challenge is and try to jump back in. I love the format. The flexibility is right up my alley, but there is a solid structure which has been really helpful in helping me develop skills I never thought I could or would, such as becoming comfortable using a pick or learning enough theory to help me understand my guitar better.
