One of the happiest of unexpected results of learning how to play guitar on TAC rather than learning how to play songs is, in time, the need to see the music for the songs others have written diminishes. For most things I don’t need to see a chord chart or a song sheet. This is a deliberate part of the TAC program, often missunderstood and overlooked. This did take time for me to grasp which I want to point out. It was not an overnight transition rather a multi-year effort of daily exposure to the challenges and FretBoard Wizard. I used Chordie because there are no sales pitches, no commercials, no interruptions, no membership fee. Now I go there to see words and how the words meet the chord changes, not always successfull as very few of the songwriting artists are contributors. One of the stand out contributors is James Taylor who was tired of seeing/hearing his music being played “Close but no cigar”.
