Loving the content and format. Simple and easy to follow. Had some trouble with videos loading. That’s all. Love your approach!

I never played the guitar but always wanted to learn. Busy life. So here I am at 64 and about 60 days into TAC. Playing better than I thought I would but not like I would like to. I like the style of teaching and the verity of music and techniques. Sometimes you move a little fast for me when teaching but it’s nice to be able to stop you and back up as much as I need to. My biggest issue is with the chords. I just can’t seem to stop muting other strings no matter how I place my fingers on the fret board. Other than that I love the process so far and am looking forward to what comes next. Thanks Tony.

After many years of not playing regularly, I decided to give TAC a try. I thought I was suffering from terminal uniqueness by playing, then after 30 minutes, putting it down and picking it up again weeks, sometimes months later. It got to the point the only reason I opened up my guitar case was to make sure the humidity level was correct. I signed up for the year, now that I'm retired, and just checked off day 6 and I started last Sunday (8 days ago). I remembered a lot of the stuff from years ago from the lessons in week one and two. Now that I'm into week 3 of the lessons, I found that it's almost as if he's right there with me as I'm watching the lesson, pointing out my concerns and telling me how to do it. After day 4, I needed to give my fingertips a rest, probably because I was going faster than what was suggested in the course. My enthusiasm is higher than it's been in years as we used to jam as teenagers, then life happens. Enjoy!

It's been an interesting 2 weeks, I first decided to get the free 5 day challenge and surprisingly I thought it was educational. I was paying $ 50.00 a week for a one hour lesson and after he decided to stop teaching I was lost just surfing youtube and talking samples of other online teaching. I found that after that first week I saw some structure to your method of teaching. I'm finishing my first week of the 30 day start up and what I like about it is that I can go back and follow up on points that I'm struggling with which makes me feel more confident and relaxed about my journey. I'm looking forward to the next three weeks. Thanks 😊

Just joined TAC. Did the 5 day free sampler. This is exactly what I have been looking for. Can't wait to start the 30 day to play tomorrow.

Tony does a good job keeping it interesting, lots of variations in music he selects and I’ve learned something new every week. I’m almost to my 200th session, I’ll keep going.

I've been a dabbler for several decades not improving at all. I did some Justin guitar and I like his enthusiasm as well as yours. What I like about your method is that you break it up into bite size chunks. It's easy to get overwhelmed if you just get the tab and have at it. I can learn that way, but I feel it takes me longer to absorb it. The fact that you also live in our beautiful state of Montana was the final kick I needed to enroll. Go Griz!

The beginning process was a bit what I would consider 'not-consumer friendly-. I got confused between the 30 day TAC and the 5 day introduction. Once I figured it out its been good so far.

The first 30 days went by fast. I had fun learning for the first time after years of regret for not having learned earlier. Starting this at 62, now 63 seemed like maybe it wasn't something I was meant to do, but I decided that it really doesn't matter at all. Sure, my hands aren't as flexible as they once were, but I'm getting there. After the 30 days, I began the daily sessions and even if they were challenging, I did my best. My hands are small, and that's a challenge. I can't claim to be playing songs left and right. My chord speed just isn't there yet, but until a couple of weeks ago, when I sprained my left wrist(not playing guitar), I was keeping up pretty well. Some things are harder for me than others, but I do find time every day to pick up the guitar. I usually play for 45 min to an hour. I'm retired, so I have time. I realize there are no shortcuts to improvement at my age, but I'm up for it, even if I have to go back over things.

Tony, you got me back into playing guitar with a "mission." Playing, even just a little, every day has been a huge change for me. I thank you for that. And you are a great online guitar teacher, I admire your approach. (I've taught online for a few years, a business course, and appreciate how difficult it is and how effective your approach is.). Unfortunately, I've got to leave you for now, I may return down the road a bit.

I've enjoyed the first week or so. I have discovered a few things along the way. My fret fingers are too soft but that's a "me" thing. My strings are too high on the fretboard but I am working on that with a professional guitar man. But still look forward to moving along the path.

Playing guitar for several years I never learned about soloing. TAC has provided me the structure/method and pathway to learn, practice and enjoy playing guitar even more than before. I look forward to my Daily Routine waiting to see what Tony has in store for me each Monday. Thank you Tony for putting this learning opportunity together !

I am just now learning never played before I love it but it is very hard for me to learn I do all the challenges not good in my opinion but I know you say do your best and move on and I do so I am trusting you and your system to help me learn how to play and i have had surgery on my left pinky finger so some of those cords are really challenging but I love the videos and your instructions

I am enjoying the lessons. I do like how I can pause the videos and practice. I do need lots of practice but this is fun and I like it. Learning something new and moving my fingers across the fret board is a challenge, but I will get it.

Honestly, some of the challenges are for me anyway difficult, it’s hard for me to follow the position, especially on today’s challenge and I try to go back to it after a while. I’m just having a hard time with it.

really enjoying this course, had another one years ago but can't compare to this, looking at it at first I though here we go the same as before But no! this compact looking course feels more one to one and is explained in true fashion, started the course with doubt but have now got self belief in the training and self discipline that TAC is providing.Hope everyone is enjoying this like me.

Half way through my second week and really enjoying myself.Looking forward to completing the thirty day challenge .I've been taking lessons for just over a year with a small class, but find i'm starting to get bored. Hoping TAC will rekindle my enthusiasm and so far so good. Loving the 'Blues' and maybe one day be able to play 'Oh Well'.

At first I was hesitant to invest in Tony’s Acoustic Guitar Challenge due to the price. But when I figured out what I had paid for two sessions of Zoom lessons through the county, which resulted in very little progress and practice that was a chore I decided to give it a try. The money back guarantee played into my decision. After just the first week I feel like the system Tony has devised is going to work for me. I look forward to playing every day and am picking up the guitar for pleasure in between daily lessons. The habit stacking approach is effective and I appreciate the daily momentum-building emails. The emphasis on fun instead of technical skills building is working for me. The process not perfection approach is also super helpful. Thanks Tony and team!

So far, so good, I was unsure about it, but decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did. I'm learning new techniques, exercises, and things to play.
