TAC is well thought out and organized. You can tell there are years of experience and thought put into this program to make it the most effective way for folks to learn guitar. Tony has a great teaching style and is very motivating and reassuring. He is well aware of the difficulty and psychology behind where most guitarists get lost in the process and he has strategies and a teaching method that addresses these issues and gives you the best chance for success.

I am three weeks into TAC, following the 30 Day Challenge, along with a few extras. I like the progression each week. Having never done any scales, the beginning of the week is most challenging. I am getting better at letting go and moving on, although I will learn to play Norwegian. Wood! Mark B

So I am 56 years old and live in the UK. I had always wanted to learn to play guitar but I never got round to it. Then a few years ago when I bought a guitar but I couldn't afford 1:1 lessons, none of my friends play guitar and there were no groups near me I could join. Instead I started by buying some teach yourself guitar books and DVD's. Then I tried several on line courses but none of them kept my imterest or explained things in a way that stuck or made sense. I wanted to learn how to play guitar and have fun, but these other courses just didn't hit the spot. There seemed no purpose or direction to what they were teaching me. Then I started watching Tony on YouTube especially Acoustic Tuesday and I loved it. He has great ehthusiasm for teaching and his love for acoustic guitars shones in a way other teachers don't show. Whilst he comes across as laid back has an informal style but so interesting and passionate. I tried some of the free little tips, tricks and lessons Tony did on Acoustic Tuesday and probably learnt more guitar skills from that than anything else I'd tried. As soon as I could afford it I signed up to TAC and although I have only (slowly) completed the '30 days to play' course, I have played nearly every single day. I have really enjoyed it and found the lessons both challenging (in a good way) but also so enjoyable. Tony's way of explaining what you are going to do, his constant enthusiasm and down to earth approach to teaching is excellent. It is motivating and supportive and makes me feel like, "hey don't worry, don't stress you've got this". For the first time since I bought a guitar a few years ago I can finally look my partner, friends and family in the eye and say "I'll be playing tunes for you soon". My guitar isn't just a guitar-case-shaped ornament. It's an instrument I am starting to play!! There have been a few days where I was away and couldn't play my guiatr and for the first time ever I really really missed it and that is down to TAC. Just a fantastic course, I honestly cannot recommend it highly enough.

Be glad to answer the survey. Am enjoying TAC, and love the fact that I can go back and work thru 5 day challenges repeatedly. Fingers pretty inflexible, barre chords a huge challenge.

I was curious about the five core skills of guitar playing. I have been playing for many years and had never seen so clear and concise a description of my relationship with the instrument I play. The free five day introductory lessons really impressed me.
A couple or three friends have pointed out that I am not a beginner and the music covered in TAC is pretty far removed from the Traditional Irish repertoire I spend so much of my time playing and performing. I have found that the five skills are pretty universal and transfer well. There's the physical aspects, better pick control, greater finger and hand strength, and improved muscle memory. Let's not forget the cognitive benefits of focused hearing, real time analysis and response while playing. I am much more aware of opportunities to throw in a lick or add movement with a well placed bass line.
It has been years since I was a beginning guitarist. I would have benefited so much from a program like TAC. I feel that this program delivers a jump start, or in my case a restart, for any serious player.

The TAC system has been a great catalyst for me to continue learning after a long, stagnant period of playing the same old songs. The brief, daily lessons are easy to keep up with and allow to me to build on small successes, without getting frustrated or discouraged.

I'm blown away by Tony's way of teaching. It's professional, it's encouraging, it's inspiring, it's humorous. I love it and I recommend his
guitar course.
