The New Way to Learn Guitar
Online guitar lessons are broken. Not any more — we fixed them. Our fresh approach to getting better at guitar will make you obsessed with playing every day instead of feeling guilty for letting your guitar collect dust.
People *really* like Tony's Acoustic Challenge.
Over thirty five thousand guitar students have made the switch after trying the other options.
“I have been learning Guitar for about 4 months now. Adding TAC to my practice routine has skyrocketed my progress!”
Sam H.
“I’ve been taking private lessons and I’ve also subscribed to several other online guitar courses, and they lack a clear path. With TAC I learn about five times as much per week as I do from a once-a-week guitar lesson.”
Tim Picks
“It’s the best method I’ve seen to develop a guitar routine that will stick with you for the rest of your life. And if you want to play guitar for life — that is, if you want to become a better guitarist over the long haul — TAC is the way to go.“
Joe Amato
Hey guitar friend —
Learning guitar is one of the most gratifying and healthy things you can do to increase your quality of life.
But it can be hard to gain the momentum you need early on to become an actual guitar player.
According to a study by Fender, 90% of people who start learning guitar quit within their first year.
Why is this the case?
We believe the problem is information overload…
This is why we don’t brag about having “10,000 lessons to choose from” — because that’s the opposite of what will help you make progress.Â
A study reported in the New York Times concluded that “the presence of choice might be appealing, but in reality, people find more and more choice to actually be debilitating.” Â
Tony’s Acoustic Challenge fixes this problem…
After 8 years and over 35,000 guitar students, we’ve created an entirely new way of learning guitar.
Our daily micro-learning method cycles between the five essential guitar skills every week.
You just show up with your guitar ready to have fun.
Learning guitar doesn’t need to be complex or boring.
Try our 10-minute daily guitar challenge to see for yourself.
It IS possible for you to love your guitar journey every step of the way.Â
Watch our introductory guitar class to learn the method and get started.

Technique
Each week the daily challenges fit together like the parts of a song. Monday's are all about building the technique that will prepare your fingers for the week ahead while giving you fundamentals that will serve you through your entire guitar journey.
Tuesday
Guitar Licks
Day Tripper, Sunshine of Your Love, Brown Eyed Girl -- these all have iconic guitar intros also known as Guitar Licks. Used in intros, outros, and transitions, guitar licks are the building blocks of music. These small musical nuggets are a TAC member favorite!
Wednesday
Improvisation
First you'll learn a scale pattern, then you'll play that over a rhythm guitar track so you know what notes sound good. Next, you get to experiment with your own improvisation over the backing track! Extremely fun for new and experienced players.
Thursday
Rhythm Guitar
Today you'll learn the Rhythm Guitar part that works with the lick and scale you learned earlier in the week. Like all days, Tony shows you exactly how to play the rhythm part and then you'll loop the play along video until you can do it on your own.
Friday
Chord Progression
Tony gives you a fun and musical Chord Transition challenge that works with the rest of the week's music. On Fridays the TAC community has a ritual of sharing their "small wins" for the past week. This gives you an important dose of positivity.

The TAC program is perhaps the best I have ever seen. It emphasizes the "fun" of playing guitar, which is why I began playing in the first place.

GET THE BEST VALUE
How Much Does it Cost?
Tony’s Acoustic Challenge is five times the value and one sixth the cost of in-person guitar lessons.Â
Weekly guitar lessons cost $100 per month to learn just four things…if you do your homework (and if your instructor doesn’t cancel any lessons.)
And you’ll have to direct your own learning because each lesson usually starts with the question: “so what do you feel like learning today?”
All at a cost of $1200 per year.
Tony’s Acoustic Challenge is just $29 per month for five guitar challenges per week plus member perks like our 30-Days to Play program for beginners, our Skill Courses, and live coaching sessions with Tony.
You’ll never have to decide what to play. Just show up and take the daily challenge that rotates through the five essential guitar skills.
All from the privacy of your own home.
But the deal gets even sweeter…
When you watch our introductory guitar class, you’ll get 45% off your annual membership fee which comes out to just $16 per month.
This free introductory guitar class will teach you the unique method that makes Tony’s Acoustic Challenge so effective, but most importantly…
It will increase your odds of success with guitar.
You’ll learn the three things that our most successful guitar students have in common and the biggest pitfalls that cause people to get stuck. You might even be making some of these mistakes right now.
This class was specifically made for brand new guitar students and for those coming back to it after a long time away from playing.
