Tony has an easy way about him, intelligent, quick witted, polite, and obviously knows so much about guitar playing and music that it was a no brainer to join his Acoustic Challenge. In just two weeks I've learned a ton of techniques and looking forward to more. At the beginning of most lessons I feel like I'll never get it, but it comes with practice. I think the biggest thing he has done for me is to teach me to use my little finger in fretting better. Still pretty bad, but getting better. I wish he would apply some of the techniques to songs, so I could increase my repertoire.
