I am feeling optimistic after a week with TAC. As an older, but still young at heart female, I have small hands and have struggled reaching cords, etc. Your instructions are great for anyone who wants to learn. BUT my "Ah hah" moment came when I realized I could also improve by giving close attention to your hands! I know-- sounds simple, but it has definitely helped me move around the fretboard. Improvement in a week---Woohoo!!
