After years of just dabbling in guitar, I started a long journey of discovering how to make learning guitar fun & sustainable.
After teaching guitar for over 18 years, what I’ve found is that the traditional way to learn guitar is overcomplicated and promotes “mastery” and “practice” over sustainability and enjoyment.
I wanted to fix that by creating a fun and intuitive way to learn guitar that can be followed by busy people.
Most of my 35,000+ online guitar students are older adults who’ve been able to start playing fun things in days, not months or years. How? By adopting the intuitive, music-first approach to learning that our program provides.
Tony’s Acoustic Challenge keeps guitar students coming back day after day because they’re having fun and seeing real progress.

Before trying the Daily Challenge, your mission is to learn (or re-learn) the basics while slowly building up to a consistent playing habit. That’s what the 30-day guitar challenge was designed for and it works!
Each week will consist of two things…

A collection of small courses you can complete in a weekend that cover essential guitar skills.
To keep things exciting and fresh, TAC features a 5-day challenge every five or six weeks in place of the regular TAC Daily Challenge format.
These are also available on-demand so you can revisit or try any of the 5-Day Challenges at any time.
The blues themes are the most popular (because they’re fun and fairly “easy”.) For something more challenging (but very helpful for your playing), try the Barre Chord, Pinky, or Pull Off challenges.
A 30-day challenge that helps you learn, confirm, and apply the the most potent 10% of fretboard concepts that guitar players use 90% of the time.
Fretboard Wizard will teach you how to find any song’s key & chords by ear, change any song’s key instantly, find any note, chord, or scale, improvise knowing you’re using the right notes, create your own melodies, speak “the language”, explore new musical ideas, or write your own music.
Since this follows the same “daily challenge” format as TAC, you can go through it while keeping your regular TAC guitar routine.
Why Add Fretboard Wizard Now?
→ With Fretboard Wizard, every lesson you take in TAC becomes more fun, more creative, and twice as rewarding. Here’s how…
We’ve connected what you’re learning in Fretboard Wizard to the TAC Daily Challenges so you can reinforce your new knowledge with hands-on guitar playing.
This cycle between fretboard concepts and your daily guitar routine will speed up your understanding while giving you a deep sense of fulfillment.
“Only a week in and I’m able to figure out songs by ear…Fretboard Wizard is, for me, worth the total price of TAC and FW.”

My progress was non-existent until I got a guitar routine.
This is an awesome guitar program!
I never had any formal guitar training. I was self-taught and I had major holes in my guitar skill set that TAC is filling. I am definitely happy with the results I have seen in my 3 years of being a member.
If you commit to putting in the time this will make a big difference in your playing. I would and do recommend this to any and every one interested in learning guitar or if you're like me needing to take it to the next level.

Music was important to me through my early twenties and then life just got in the way in so many ways.
It wasn’t until I was in my later forties that I realized I want to play guitar again. I realized music is gone from my life and I don’t like it.
My dream is more just to be able to play anytime any place. Like the campfire jam, “Hey, just bring guitar over. Let’s play today.” Kind of things that I just enjoy. And if it’s like, come over, I’m making burgers on the grill. Oh, bring your guitar.
It’s a great day.

I have been a member of TAC since 2016. Started at age 59 having never played an instrument before.
Periodically I drift away, looking for that magic bullet that will turn me into a “real player” but I always come back to Tony. His formula works.
His method of teaching HAS made me a “real player”. I always know that when I stick to his lessons I make progress.
I will always be here because it is fun and I can continue to develop my skills just by dedicating time each day to a TAC lesson.

When I was about 45, I would grab my guitar and I would go, well, I guess I’ll teach myself some chords today. It was ridiculously boring and there was no joy in it at all.

Try Tony’s Acoustic Challenge for two full months risk free. By the end of your first 60-days, if you aren’t 100% certain that Tony’s Acoustic Challenge is the best way to learn guitar for you, we’ll issue a full refund.
“Basically anyone I meet I tell them this is one of the most rewarding things I’ve done” – Neal D
College level guitar courses cost between $1200 and $6000 plus 12 to 60 weeks of your time. In-person lessons cost at least $1200 per year. And with both you STILL have to learn songs after you learn guitar.
TAC skips the extra noise and takes you straight to the goal by learning guitar through playing music. All at a tiny fraction of the price.
We want you to have zero risk in trying Tony’s Acoustic Challenge which is why we offer an unconditional 60-day money-back guarantee.
