Tony your program has Pulled me out of a 30 year slump, I’m learning and excited every Monday to see what’s in store for me in the week ahead! Your weekly routines are easy to follow and allow me to progress at my own pace.

I enjoy these TAC lessons and videos. I especially enjoy the lead guitar improvisation lessons. I only wish I had more time to devote to my music. I have had some personal health issues recently which need my priority. I hope to resume the lessons shortly.

I am really enjoying the program. I have learned a lot of new skills and above all its fun and has made me look forward to picking up the guitar every day.

I give TAC five stars for helping me establish the habit of showing up five days, and more to pickup my guitar, tune it, and play. The lessons are challenging, and I push myself beyond what I would do on my own. I’m learning to read guitar tablature which is very helpful. The program it’s self is excellent. I know where to go, what to do, and I can change the speed to slow everything down to my pace. Overall, I’m trusting that eventually I’ll get better and better.

"I really love TAC. I’ll admit, I was skeptical that just 10 minutes a day could actually improve my skills, but I decided to trust the process. Now, 50 sessions in, I’m seeing steady improvement in my playing. It’s hard sometimes to resist the urge to 'master' a lesson before moving on, but the method really works. I’m gaining more dexterity, finger strength, and accuracy with every lesson. Huge thanks to Tony and the TAC crew!"

I ama terrible guitar player! I've been noodling around from the time I was 18 years old when I bought my first Yamaha guitar until I got into my 60s and bought a sweet Martin OM-28 (super nice guitar, same crap playing ability!). I took in-person lessons, tried learning from tabs, and even took an on-line classical guitar course. Nothing did it for me. I always felt that I had to "get it right" before moving on and learning new stuff. Too much pressure sucked the joy out of it. But then I started the TAC Challenge. Been at it for a couple of months now. Literally, for the first time in my life I'm having fun playing a guitar! Tony is the first guitar teacher that gives me permission to fail, as long as I get SOMETHING out of each lesson and keep showing up for more. I don't know if I'll ever become a good guitar player or be comfortable playing in front of other people. But for the first time in my guitar-playing life, I feel as though there is hope. Thanks Tony!

I have wanted to learn guitar for many years. I've tried the lesson books sold in music stores and just never felt like I progressed. I watched the reviews of the TAC program and compared to many other programs offered on the internet. This one seemed to be the most positive way to go. Once I signed up, I was pleased with the motivation presented with each lesson. It was hard initially to grasp the idea of just doing my best and moving on as I felt like I should master the lesson first. By sticking to the moving on routine, I think I have achieved a lot in just a couple of months. The 10 minutes per day allowed me to get over the sore fingertips and keep going. I think this program is great for any level player. The weekly challenge presents many playing techniques and holds interest in continuing.

Tony’s style of teaching is great. I love the short lessons that are just above my skill level. It creates a sense of challenge to grab hold of the lesson and practice it each day. He also encourages his students to keep moving as these lessons may never be fully perfected but that’s ok. Thank you Tony for making guitar playing fun!

The TAC daily small steps are well designed to quickly show progress. I already can see that I am getting better after just 50 days.

In my first week I have made more progress than in any method I have used prior. I'm excited to see my guitar, it is fun. Good program Tony!

I was only going to do the free 5 day challenge to see if i could learn some quick stuff, then move on. But this coarse is to good, it gets you loving guitar and actually playing.

The best part of this program is how little pressure I feel about playing. I have fun, and it's only been a week. When I can play something that sounds like an actual song (okay it's close) I'm happy. It makes me want to pick up the guitar and play everyday. Even though I completed the first week, I'm playing in between week 1 and 2. The videos are immensely helpful, and a great guide for learning.

I've been fooling around for years trying to self learn guitar with chord song books. TAC has brought my understanding and interest way beyond what I've thought I could accomplish in a very short time. I'm still an absolute beginner and know I have a long way to go but it's fun and inspiring every time I log in and pick up my guitar. Tony is a wonderful teacher and a positive inspiration. I'll be hanging around TAC for a long time.

I think it is a really good program, although I haven't spent a lot time at this week , but what time I have spent at it was encouraging. Can see where I’m going to get a lot more out of it than any other program I tried in the past.

So far so good! I’ve tried other online guitar courses before but this one is the best. Skill building while also actually playing things that are fun to play takes all of the drudgery out of practicing. I’m going slow (I think I’m 2 days behind on my first week) but I’m confident that with consistent practice I’ll be up to speed naturally in short order.

Definitely learning new techniques and skills. Can be overwhelming at times and some are easier that others. Being able to step back at lessons helps with that. Overall I was skeptical at first, but by staying with the course improvements will come forward.

I have been changed this week, i mean that in the sense that when I started this course I had my doubts if I could do it. But I have grown into the mindset that no matter how long it takes I will win, I came to the realization that this is my journey and I'm doing it for myself and no one else. I would recommend the TAC to anyone interested.

I'm enjoying the lessons. I appreciate Tony's knowledge, enthusiasm and teaching skills. I frequently slow everything down in the settings - both the lesson and the music demonstration. This helps me to "get it" more easily. As time has gone on, sometimes I don't have to slow it down!! Little by little, I'm getting it, and feel good about myself and my guitar. Thanks, Tony.

This is an excellent course. I started with absolutely no music background or experience. Tony’s enthusiasm is infectious and his presentations are clear giving just the right amount of information that allows a gradual step wise understanding and learning experience. I started with the 30 days to play and 5 day routine followed by TAC but took on the fret board wizard (now repeating it immediately after doing it the first time) which has been extremely helpful to someone like me with no music base. I could not be happier with this course!

Ever wonder if you're learning anything NEW with your "Guitar Practice Routine?"TAC participants don't wonder that; they know every Mon-Fri they're faced with something NEW to get "under their fingers."That something NEW will be challenging yet do-able, at least a portion.That something NEW will be extremely high quality with excellent motivational content.

Been using the system for 8 weeks now. I had played guitar for years on and off and gave up because I would learn something, stop playing and then come back and start over. Never making significant progress. I feel like there is constant progress and I just follow the system and don't worry about being perfect.

I was hesitant at first, wanting to make sure it was something I could stay with for the long haul. I hadn't really seriously played my guitar since college days, and I'm in my late 60's now. But my love for music, and your teaching style, made it feel right very quickly.Lastly, I feel this is perfect for someone who has played, and wants to embrace guitar playing again. I also think your teaching method is solid for a beginner too. Your emphasis on consistency, not perfection, is great. I find myself playing more and more each day. Thank you!
