I am a self taught, as an adult, guitarist and songwriter and I wanted to up my playing game for song writing. I am pretty confident with chords, but I have never played a solo, though I have learned some scales to play a few melodies and riffs. I just ran through the 30 day kick start and found a number of areas to improve, especially with single notes, and confirmed that my rudimentary chord work is pretty solid. I'll be going back to the Blues, strumming patterns (to practice pick attack), and solo lessons regularly as I move forward with the challenges. Wish I had known of TAC when I started learning guitar, you teach the way I learn.

I have absolutely now experience with the guitar and here I em at 63 years old and I’m playing for the first time. I’ve only completed the first 2 weeks of the 30 day challenge and I’m already feeling excited about my progress. Thank you creating TAC.

At first I had done a lot of reviews of various guitar teachers but what got me interested with TAC was Tony's passion and sincerity about his way of teaching. I've tried playing guitar for a very long time but I lacked commintment. Tony is an encourager and pushes just enough to keep you interested for the next lesson.I have to admit at 76 getting callouses back on the fingers took a little longer and a little more painful, but I surived. Even though Life handed me a lot of issues, I found some time to play the lessons and a lot of catch up. I forsee that I will be staying with TAC even though I am slow and at times behind on my lessons.I am still having problems getting and changing major chords and strugling thru Bar chords. But I will continue and overcome. Keep Playing!

TAC has opened up new doors for me to play. Someday’s are much easier than others, but the tough days are what bring me back. Mostly it’s my own fault, getting trapped into only playing it a certain way, then coming back 10 minutes later with a new perspective. I like how we don’t need to master a technique and just playing is what we should be doing. Highly recommended for all levels.

Excellent course, useful workbook. I like the lessons and course book. I'm over 70. I played guitar a lot when I was young, basically a campfire type guitarist. With the course I've gotten back into playing at my own pace. Thanks.

I’m so excited to get started. The content seems to be spot on I’m working through fret wizard and finally able to make sense of the transition from linear instruments (piano, clarinet etc) to stringed THank You!!

I used to play but haven’t really gotten back to it for over 20 years. This has gotten me interested again even though it feels like starting from scratch almost. I feel like I’m learning from a friend one on one. I have to admit to backing up some while trying to nail it but that’s the beauty of online learning. I am getting back to something I enjoyed and stimulating my old brain too.

first week of the 30 day challenge was challenging indeed but the structure TAC has offered is terrific and I look forward to continuing on my guitar journey with TAC. Have tried to play for many years and never got very good at it but I already see great improvement in my playing. Thank you!

TAC has created a system that breaks guitar down into learnable components. I fully expect to be playing complete songs in time at the end of 12 months.

Ok , where to start ?Already practicing at least 10 minutes a day before joining… but with the 30 day challenge I should have looked at how many sessions there were…thought each section was a day and completed in a week 😂😂😂😂😂Don’t even know how long I was playing …time went by so quick!Thoroughly enjoying the experience… Am I a better guitarist after a week ?..probably not that you could tell .. but had some great challenges and going back to try again to speed up my glacial playing.

You have given me a new challenge with my guitar. I've been playing for 4 years and went through the 30 day challenge quickly. I started the 5 day challenge and I love it.

Tony has changed my entire guitar experience - for the better!Because his course is highly structured, because he focusses on motivating with fun and little wins, i now pour myself into my guitar practice and am more motivated than I’ve ever been. Practice went from guilt homework to excitement about what I’ve accomplished and desire to get back to practice and learn more. I simply can’t say enough good thibgs about it. And my improvement has been swift. Why? Because honestly i am so jaxzed about what i’m doing i spend far more time than 10 minutes a day practicing and playing. And i look forward to it.

Your daily challenges stimulate my interest and boost my confident in learning new techniques!

I have definitely learned new skills. Now it is my job to use the tools that Tony has provided. It helps you be accountable to pick up your guitar, at least five days a week. I have been leaving out one or two guitars now. The handouts are great as well. They are in notation form as well as tablature, this way you get to choose, which one you want to use. I know for myself, I am better with notation than tab. This provides me both, which also has helped me read tablature. Tony’s Acoustic Challenge as well as Fretboards Wizard are well worth the investment,.

I just passed session 3000. It was the best session I have ever had. Dreams come true if you have a teacher who makes the complicated plain. Tony's method was what finally clicked (meaning I tried to learn on other systems unsuccessfully.) Where were you when I was 13 years old Tony? hehe.

TAC has provided me with a stepwise way to move toward my goal of becoming a player who can play along with songs. I want to learn how to play lead too

It has made playing the guitar fun and not a practice session that overwhelms you.

the slightly different methodology you advocate is good and helpful, but different approaches to learning do not affect me or my life whatsoever, I use it like any other tool.I am not one to document anything outside of financial issues.I have virtually no social footprint and prefer my privacy; this should satisfy your queries about my progression.I'm learning at my own pace comfortably.

I enjoy the challenge everyday and the structure. It takes discipline to show up everyday but I look forward to building on small incremental wins. I enjoy the variety of styles and techniques.

I'm learning what Billy Idol was trying to tell everyone back in the 80s, RELAX .That is the key. Pun intended.

TAC has been good for me. I look forward to the lessons and have improved greatly over the last 10 months since joining TAC. TAC has given me confidence to pursue other genres as well. My guitar journey has been getting more interesting each week.

Day 3 and my anxiety level is waning. My 74 yr. old motor skills are hurtin but these exercises seem to be helping and the Inprov session provided me with more confidence. I can feel a sense of fluidity lurking right around the corner. Thanks so much!

I love having something new to do every day. I love the mentality of 'you don't need to have perfected the days' lesson to move onto the next one' so I've been picking up the guitar more which is the whole point.

More purposeful, more sense of accomplishment n more fun. I’m better.

Did the "Funkified" 12 bar blues last week and weekend. It seemed way to complicated at first, but I'd leave it and come back and each time I did that it was easier. Hammer-ons are sounding good. Small win but a win nonetheless!

I play everyday, look for small wins and try to keep it fun. No frustration allowed! So far, so good!
