Been a TAC member for a couple months. I hesitated while pondering if this was just another unstructured archive of disjointed and complex tips. After review of the free week and first paid lessons, I learned this was a structured process to help improve in focused bite sized bits geared toward enjoyment while learning. I dig the weekly breakdown to help me learn songs that I have passed over in the past due to complexity. Never thought I'd be soloing to Hotel California....too cool. Thanks Tony for doing this. I think this is geared for anyone stuck in a rut from beginner to intermediate but anyone could have fun with it....anyone can alway pick up something from another player. A Social Media Channel would help generate some accountability, encouragement, and peer support.

Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to try this out yet ,was under the weather all of last week,but I know it has to be better than paying for those 30 min Lessons ,like you said by the time you chit chat and your instructor gets u going your already 15 minutes in and haven't done a thing,but this coming week I will start thank you

These lessons have enabled me to play my favorite songs from the 60s and 70s!

I’ve played many years with private teachers as well as learning songs on the Internet. I also lost momentum and took several hiatus’ from playing. I keep coming back consistently on a weekly basis for TAC lessons. It’s been 3 months and I’m loving it. The holistic, self-paced approach from scales to improvisation to rhythm transitioning is really working for me. Tony’s infectious positivity is icing on the cake!

I taught myself guitar about 5 years ago, but I found myself repeating the same songs over and over again. I needed a structured approach to advance my skills and unlearn some of the bad habits I picked up. TAC is giving me that. I love the progressions, building on a simple concept. I love that some of the aspects I have struggled with in the past are being brought up so soon. I'm almost done with my 30 day challenge and it's been quite enjoyable. I'm back to looking forward to my daily practice. TAC has given me enjoyment and hope.

I tried to take lessons over twenty years ago and put it down after a year of lessons. I love the incentives and encouragement Tony gives. I'm looking forward to learning more after sticking with the 30 day program every day for a week now.

I played guitar in my youth (50 years ago!) and more recently bashed away with a really fun ukulele group. But I m finding that just too repetitive and musically unfulfilling. Tony's Acoustic Challenge is providing the clear structure and encouragement to get back to proper guitar playing. I love that we're taught to use a pick straight away.....which I never got the hang of all those years ago. I really like being able to slow down a new piece until you've got it and then speed it up as your ability builds up.Highly motivating.

This was exactly what I needed. I am picking up the Guitar about 30 after I took lessons as a young man. I’ve only been started in the 30 day part but it’s got me sitting almost everyday and practicing the blues. Excellent way to introduce it all. One thing I found difficult was that you name the sections we have to play but I had to count how many were in it. I think I counted EAAADDAAEDAA. THAT WOULD HAVE MADE IT EASIER TO COPY DURING THE PLAY SECTION BUT MAYBE THE IDEA WAS TO GET ME TO COUNT THEM OUT. I’m almost ready to move on to the next lesson so thanks again.

I love the TAC program and the way the skills are broken down into very small, learnable pieces that build on each other. I have to admit I was very nervous about starting my guitar journey but the TAC progarm has made it so easy, especially Tony encouraging me not to shoot for perfection, just consistency. Also, I don't have to think about what to practice, it's all outlined and ready for me everynight which makes me look forward to what I'm going to learn each session, helping me stay consistent with my playing. I would recommend this program to anyone from beginners to seasoned players wanting to begin or improve their guitar skills. I have a long way to go but I'm excited about the journey!! Thank you Tony for everything.

Easy sign up. Priced right. Tony is super easy to follow. First lesson was inviting and easy to understand. Next learning to play the blues was so much fun I caught myself smiling big time. Can’t wait to continue the guitar journey.
