TAC For Me
I joined TAC back in September 2025, wanting to get back into playing guitar. I’ve been a longtime player but always got discouraged because I didn’t feel I was improving. The last 4 months have been different. Every day I can see these small wins. I look forward very morning to the new lesson of the day. Then I can’t wait to get home in the evening from work to get back to the lesson. I have only missed a couple days since joining because I was away for business. Actually stopped at a Guitar Center once to pick around some.
I will tell you, the hardest thing for me on TAC is the Improvise solo lessons. Not sure why I struggle with that. Also some of the strumming patterns I can’t pick up on. I think I don’t have good rhythm. I think playing with someone else may help with that.
I’m excited about his new year and the lessons to come. I need to record my self more this year. Sometimes I’m so focused on my practice and playing, I don’t want to mess with recording.
Happy New Year everyone!!!

Good idea. I have added more rhythm/metronome work to my quarterly goal for Winter 2026. Playing with others is great but sometimes difficult to set up, but “smoke ‘em if you got ‘em”.

Hi @DanTheMan ! Good to hear that TAC is helping you achieve your goals.
I can relate to your struggles with Improv, I’m very much the same. I think the issue is my lack of comfort with the scales. I recently saw a YT video that explained we should be learning the shapes of scales and scale degree number. A lightbulb kind of went off there because it occurred to me that there are a finite number of shapes and it’s a lot smaller than the number of scales.
Here is the video (it looks like AI so I’m sorry about that but I think the content is helpful): https://youtu.be/le4X0uozmck
