Hello @Mrfredsporty ;
You absolutely are not a “traitor”. That’s ridiculous. However, I know how you feel.
For me, TAC isn’t just another guitar tutorial site. Tony helped me to become a guitar player, and no one else did that before or after. I owe him my acoustic life.
Now it’s true that Tony seems to have more altruistic intentions than many of the the other instructors. He has proven that his driving force is to share his love for music and guitar. However, this is a monetary world, so no one can separate that from the equation. I have given Tony the majority of the money I’ve spent on guitar instruction. I have a couple of t-shirts from other guitar instruction sites. I have at least a dozen of Tony’s t-shirts. I would never have spent the same amount of money if I hadn’t found TAC. I’m a tight wad.
But there are a ton of videos, for free, on YouTube that can and have helped me in my musical journey and my guitar journey. I even paid for another guitar instruction site because I thought Brian Kelly had a unique way of teaching like Tony and his instruction resonated with me. Justin Sandercoe is another guitar instructor on YouTube that many of us have learned from.
Yes, we need to be careful of using TAC to promote other businesses. That’s wrong. But Tony knows that music doesn’t exist in a vacuum. TAC may be our center, but it’s not our everything.
