Songs to learn
I find some aspects of the site tough to navigate. Is there a location that list a number of songs we can practice and learn?

Navigation is a bit of an enigma, I understand that you are confused. TAC doesn’t really focus on teaching songs, but there is a song vault associated with the old website. It is no longer linked to the current site so you will need to bookmark it.

As @petelanger said TAC is more about learning processes than specific songs although specific songs are used in teaching. It also has a quarterly audit feature (next one is 12/29) that helps focus progress. I set myself quarterly goals that include specific songs. I update my profile each quarter to remind myself of those goals. Right now I’m working on a Christmas playlist. Silent Night comes from the old TAC song vault as does Auld Lang Syne. Others are from YouTube or Sheet Tab. But the combination of TAC Daily Challenges, Quarterly Goals, and 3rd Party Sourced songs has been sustainable and brought great joy to my guitar journey and peace of mind.

Chordie is an app that has tens of thousands of songs with chords and lyrics. It is free, no commercials. No need to duplicate that here. I saw it pointed out but it bears repeating: TAC uses songs to teach guitar but does not teach how to perform any given song. It essentially gives you the recipe and ingredients but you have to prep and cook. The focus is on the specific skills within a single song that are tranferable to any song. If you are brand new I totally get how the concept seems like it doesn’t serve you but it is the shortest road to playing skillfully with confidence on any song including songs you have never heard before. The between the lines is understanding “song forms” allow you to play all the songs, And I get how that seems confusing but it is as real as “not being able to play the wrong note”, or knowing the next chord or note without thinking about what or where your fingers should be. TAC is the opposite of sites that teach finger choreography,

Great reply, Jeff.
I have a long-time friend who “was going to learn how to play guitar”. Paid for private weekly lessons for maybe 6 months. After about that 6-month period, I asked him how that was going. He said “Great– I learned a song!”– (I think it was maybe Hotel California- not sure). He grabbed his guitar and played that song– and played it well.
But then I asked if he knew any more………
6 months of weekly, 1-hour lessons, and a pretty-good chunk o’ change………. for Hotel California.
THIS is why TAC is great.

Ty Pete, very helpful. Though I value the support I was hoping for a teaching approach that teaches a skill, followed by applying it i.e. song.
