    @Coreena you will want to drop the term “mastered” from your vocabulary when you are in TAC mode. I’ve been here 18 months and I haven’t mastered any songs yet. Every one has been improving, especially the benchmarks because we see them 3 times a year. This system is about playing for a short time daily and marking complete. 10 minutes is suggested, for me it’s usually a 20 minute session that I often repeat once or twice more during the day.

    There’s a reason why you don’t learn to play songs completely in TAC. For a beginner player, it would require an awful lot of effort to correctly mimic the artist’s recording, probably 2 to 4 weeks (depending on the complexity of the song) of practicing many hours daily. At that point it probably would be a rather shabby mimicry, unless you are already a superb player. This response is assuming you are not yet an accomplished musician on the guitar.

    Tony teaches you techniques to apply to songs so that you won’t mimic the original but make it something of your own. This is a process that will take several cycles through each song. Once your skills have improved in the 5 areas taught, you will be able to learn songs a lot faster. For me I have chosen to take that time that could be devoted to learning songs and invest it in learning to play all aspects of the guitar

    Wish you all the best in your journey.
