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.

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!

HI TonyI loved the way you showed me how to set up on the G Chord and speed up to 1 second , over and over again , with you strumming so I could check the sound. I have the grandkids this week so 10 minutes is all I get , but it is funThanks a lotJohn

I struggle everyday with pain in my back and both of my knees. It is very hard to keep a positive outlook on my progress because Of the chronic pain I feel whenever I move. But I'm still at it since May of 2026. I never thought I could do half the stuff I can now. I know most of the common Chords and I'm getting smoother and quicker. I still like I'm running around a little lost , because most the time I'm not able to perfect the skill and then I a new skill comes along the next day. I will have to start filming myself. I will not give up. MY Guitar Arsenal is now mad up 5 guitars. A Washburn Classical C5-WSH-A, Ibanez PF-5- Bk, Cort Earth 100, A Fender Beginner guitar and Aero band guitar.

TAC is an awesome challenge for me! It takes me away from the comfort zone of being able to achieve the 30 Day Challenge and the 5 Day Routine Challenge and pushes me to struggle a bit by going back and forth more than before until I feel comfortable with the lesson. Thank you!

I have always been a finger picking folkie, never really learned the fretboard or flat picking. Hope I live long enough to sound like Doc Watson.

Since signing on I find I’m no longer afraid of embracing more challenging tasks. Past experience led me to fall back on what was comfortable. One thing that remains important is the finger exercise that stretches your reach and the need to toughen your finger tips. Your touching on playing structure is a really important step. Much like golf, one’s club grip has a huge influence on the ball contact. No difference with the guitar

I have/had been taking weekly hour lessons (from a local guitar center); however, upon seeing Tony's MANY social media postings, I realized that his courses would enhance my learning. I HAVE NOT BEEN DISAPPOINTED! I appreciate his variety of weekly-themed lessons. Some are fun & easy --- others are fun & more challenging. Tony ALWAYS leaves "positivity" in his lessons' closing remarks. I'd definitely recommend! (I have taken several of the Skill Courses "on the side") :-)

I am just beginning my guitar journey. The TAC helped me the most by seeing the play portion of each lesson. I could watch the fingers shift and move. I could change the speed of the playback and that was a great help. Thank you.

Great lessons, relearning a lot, and having fun. Play most every day and getting better also. Will continue to move forward.Only 1 miner issue, I had a lot for trouble learning the web site. And I am a computer tech, 30 year. But after 3 days, trying to relearn the guitar I finally learned the web site. That opened up a lot more things to do.Ty for a great opportunity

Yes I've experienced some major changes taking Tony's Acoustic Guitar Challenge. First of all I haven't missed a day so far playing my guitar. I've been consistent and never have before..Second for the first four or five days while watching Tony demonstrate the lesson I would say out loud to the screen I'm never gonna be able to do that and everyday I was wrong. I couldn't believe I figured it out!! Made me feel really good! Then I noticed from playing every day that my fingers were getting tougher so it was getting a little easier for me to play each day. That felt like a miracle!! Thanks Tony! I look forward to your guitar challenge every day!!
