So far TAC has helped me pull 12 years of playing together. I still have a long way to go, but I think Tony's videos are going to get me there. Thanks so much!

I have been a singer/songwriter guitar and keyboard player for a long time now. 20 years for the first three of those. I have written a lot of songs and learned many off internet. I am predominately a rhythm guitar player. I have recorded and produced a little myself and in other studios. I perform live but usually solo. I feel that the guitar challenge is exactly what I needed to get me out of my rut. It's not familiar to my fingers but it is helping me grow and I learned so much from the Fretboard Wizard class which I just completed today. Tony is super chilled out and funny. He explains things very clearly. Writing it down first helps me but everyone learns their own way. I feel better about my music now. Even if I don't incorporate it in my shows much; I will still know the difference and it will help me relate to other musicians. Thanks! Tony. You're just what I needed.

positive encouragement. love it

I originally hesitated to join because i have tried many other Guitar Learning sessions and just wasn't sure. Once I became a member though I knew this was the right place for me to be in, not just now as I am a new player but for the long term.

As an intermediate level guitar player, there are so many useful online resources that I already use, did I really need another one? I stumbled upon Tony’s acoustic challenge, and am not sure why I signed up, other than I that I recognized Tony from his guitar reviews. I’m new to the program, enrolled in the Fretboard wizard. This is where I have spent most of my time. While I understand the Major scale, and chord progression, Tony clarified things further. If you are a beginner, you will not find a better resource. I am 60 percent through the Fretboard wizard, and thus far the most valuable aspect, for me has been finding the key, followed by finding the chords, by ear. He simplified this subject in a way that I had never heard, and I’ve played on and off for better than 50 yrs. I highly recommend this program, without reservation to guitar players regardless of skill level.

Started off seeing YouTube ad’s, surprisingly even Tony’s ad’s are productive, and instructional! Tony’s the man! #BeardGameStrong

My favorite instrument has always been acoustic guitar. The “little orchestra”. Blues, jazz, country, ragtime, contemporary, etc., just nothing quite like it to reach the into the spirit of humanity and tell a story musically. I achieved a certain level some 40 years ago, then put it aside to live a practical life. A year ago the bug surfaced and I purchased a cheapo guitar to get back to my youthful roots. Ha. After about 3 weeks of wandering about, without specific goals, and suffering from fingers that were absolutely killing me; well I succumbed to the realization that I was not going to reach the level of Leo Kottke, Rev. Gary Davis, or Doc Watson anytime in this life. I gave the guitar to one of our grandkids. Six months passed and I still wanted to at least come back to a level permitting some decent in-home entertainment. (I’m 73, retired, and certainly have the time.) I purchased a decent Taylor guitar and while I was at it looked about for some really good online instruction. I came upon Tony and TAC, and jumped in with both feet. Three weeks into the course content at this point and all I can say is that I’m a very very happy camper! Absolutely a great program for any acoustic player from beginner to advanced and every level in between. I can recommend TAC to anyone. And any musician (meaning Tony) who can trade licks with Tommy Emmanuel has my respect as a teacher. Oh, and Tony’s goofy sense of upbeat humor is so appreciated… always looking forward to the next challenge! Well done, Tony, and five stars from this old timer. Michael L / Albuquerque, New Mexico

I like the way Tony shows things. I have owned and played guitars for many year. The way Tony explains moves me out of the rut I have been in. Thanks.
