@SteveinCT to answer your question in short: no, this isn’t the site that will do these things for your guitar journey.
The long answer is that TAC builds a practice routine. Put your 10 minutes a day in. Have fun with it. But that’s the basic premise and the main extent of its reach. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday lessons somewhat work together to help you build your scale and lick library and work on improv, but as you said, with no real context, especially for a beginner. You can test your improvement in 10 months when the same lessons come around again, and test them even further when they come around yet again. Friday will give you a glimpse into theory with a chord progression.
The skills lessons give you a basic introduction into some skills, but there is nothing else offered to extend those skills beyond those classes. There are myths and whispered rumors of new content to be made, but no timeline given. Should said mysterious content ever arrive, I have no doubt it will follow the current architecture and not connect the dots in the way you are hoping.
The song vault is no more as you know. I know of no one that asked for it to be discontinued. I don’t think members asked for its discontinuation, but what do I know? The only requests I ever saw made were for new songs to be added. It was definitely beneficial for others in putting the skills learned together.
The community that now exists is not the community that was advertised. That community was dismantled. What has been repackaged and repurposed to look like a community is now just a place to consolidate free marketing material. And I say this being one that is prominently featured in one or two of the ads. I wish that weren’t the case.
Further, the community emails will soon no longer be offered. Instead you can provide extra views to a monetized YouTube channel by watching Acoustic Tuesday to possibly get the content that would have been provided in the community emails.
Fretboard Wizard is good at providing basic theory. It’s with that purchase that you’ll find the Alternate Tunings course. But that’s a separate cost.
To sum TAC up: here’s a few licks, scales, warmups, and skills…now you go figure out how to put it all together.
