hey @JoeT you haven’t told us your thoughts and feelings. My first reaction was shock. Acoustic Tuesday is or was a mainstay of the TAC community and our success. I’ve learned so much from the show.
I truly understand Tony’s family commitments and the changes that have occurred since the 2 boys were born. I also know that major corporate changes typically cycle around every 5 years on average it seems. It is just unfortunate thst we’ve experienced losses of not only the 90 day progress parties, but now Acoustic Tuesday.
Tony’s branching out it seems to a wider audience, and that means we need to adjust to not having all his attention on the current TAC community. He’s definitely distanced himself since developing the new website, but he seemed somewhat touchable still with the 90 day progress parties and Acoustic Tuesday. We, meaning the TAC community were the audience. We won’t have that personal connection as much, but we’ll at least have the past experiences with him, the current daily lessons and other skills courses and Fretboard Wizard, and the tapings of all the Acoustic Tuesday shows to fall back on.
Who knows, maybe his dreams and branching out will have a positive effect on all things TAC. He did say that he wants to continue expanding the lessons on TAC. I guess we’ll have to wait and see. He may even include current TAC members to help him realize his dreams. I know he’s helped me greatly, and I never thought I’d be able to learn guitar or even play anything resembling a song. Guitar hasn’t come easily. I’ve really struggled with it, and I feel like I did as a child with learning disabilities and always having to work twice as hard to just be okay. I’m not a great player, but I’m getting better, and I’m having fun most of the time. I have physical limitations, which would have sidelined me before, but Tony’s positive advice helped me to keep working at it, commit to a ridiculously short amount of time daily, and to recognize small wins, and always to have fun. If he can help others, then kudos to him (as long as TAC isn’t forgotten in the process or placed on a slow burner in the rear and forgotten about).
I’m interested in your thoughts Joe.
