TAC Family Forums

Well @JoeT and @dbvirago ;

I think this is a great move as we are the beneficiaries.

Since he is reorganizing his time, the TAC community is getting more commitment from Tony. There was talk about new lessons, now we are getting them. We’ve gotten a whole new lesson week every month for quite awhile now.

<font color=”rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)” face=”inherit”>Then there are the </font>signature<font color=”rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)” face=”inherit”> series. I remember when Tony released the first one, Mississippi John Hurt, he said he was going to do more. I was really excited about that. But they just didn’t come for the longest time because he already had a full schedule. Then with the kids coming along, it was even worse. Yet now, even with that extra stuff on his plate, he’s released several new lessons that focus on the style of a particular person. </font>

Now, just in case anyone doesn’t realize, the time commitment of making a new weekly lesson is pretty large. It would take at least 40 hours, like a full time job’s output for a week. And Acoustic Tuesday just morphed. He’s still releasing YouTube content. Every YouTube video takes way more time and effort than most people realize.

So how do I know all this? Simple. Tony expressly told us this on the show. He said he was giving MORE ATTENTION TO TAC MEMBERS, NOT LESS; HE’S NOT WIDENING OUT. The Acoustic Tuesday show WAS widening out since it wasn’t directly supporting the members of TAC in anyway. TAC is about learning guitar, not finding new acoustic artists or new gear reviews.

So he’s cutting away the fat so we get more of his attention. That’s what he said. So anyone who says “Tony is widening out to a larger audience” is implying that Tony is lying to us. But the facts support the statement that he’s giving us MORE, not less, for our money.
