Most of us past and current members were only aware of those members who posted regularly on the forums. We forget about the thousands of members who for the first time in their life are picking up a guitar and wanting to learn how to play. This is where I think the redesign of the website was being driven from. They may have felt being left behind. And if they are the majority of subscribers, I think it is in Tony’s business interest to make sure he does not leave them behind.
But, I too have a lot of trouble connecting the daily challenges to real world use. I love the Song Vault but I do have a complaint about it. As good as the teaching and simplicity of some the songs are, I can hardly find another version on youtube that is the arraignment Tony presents. But then again, many of those on youtube are lightyears beyond my ability. The good thing is with Tony’s arraignments I can at least learn a complete song even if it is different than what everyone else may be playing.
So, my conclusion, TAC is not for everyone and does not serve everyone’s needs. I suspect it does serve the silent majority very well.
