hey @PopPop ;
Thank you for responding and filling us in on some specifics of your “wall”.
I, too, have taken face to face lessons. First, I love my guitar instructor, he’s just a great human being. I truly wish I had the money to take lessons from him forever just to help support him. He has been a professional musician all his life. After being on the road for a number of years, he started teaching so he could stay home with his wife and daughter. He even encouraged his wife to retire when she had some challenges. So, you simply can’t blame someone trying to talk you into taking lessons.
Here’s my problem with face to face instruction. In one 1/2 hour session, a guitar instructor can show me enough stuff to take me through the next year… literally. It takes time… a lot of time, to develop the skills, the muscle memory, the brain pathways, the stronger muscles, the greater flexibility, and whatever else I’ve left out, to play what the instructor blithely showed me in that 1/2 hour.
Did you know Tony used to teach people face to face? He recognized the shortcomings of this method and with his pal Levi, he designed and floated TAC. Yeah, TAC is the <i style=”font-weight: bold;”>solution to face to face instruction. Go figure.
You’re right where you’re supposed to be. 😉
