    I equate TAC to earning a black belt. You’ll learn skills/techniques first and eventually put everything together to create katas and in our case, play songs. Guitar is the same approach and in reality it will take years to master. I’m 90+ days into TAC (same as you) and Tony taught enough skills/techniques for you to jump in and learn some beginner songs.

    Start with simple licks. I have a great time playing Mike Campbell’s lick from “Running Down A Dream” or Dylan’s “Blowing in the Wind” or Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car”. Pick something you like that is doable and go for it. A very simple chord transition I would recommend is “Hey Jude” (YT videos out there to get you started). Once you realize how the chords are sequence together, songs will unlock quickly so you have a greater song library to access. The Nashville Number System helps so definitely try to learn this system (from Tony Fretboard Wizard or from other resources). Good luck to you and keep plugging away! (p.s. I still consider myself a White Belt, but definitely trying to move up the ranks).
