I hesitated for a long time before deciding to respond again. I didn’t want to perpetuate the life of a discussion that has maybe already run its course.
I think we are all in agreement that no good guitarist got to be good by playing only ten minutes a day. Opinions seem to diverge on how useful spending only ten minutes actually is. I think 10 minutes is a lot better than 0 minutes. It’s probably the bare minimum to achieve miniscule progress and not regress, especially for beginning players. For more advanced people, it will do very little.
I think the 10 minute thing is just enough to get you started and hooked into wanting to do more. Absolute beginners must develop a habit of playing regularly. Ten minutes per day can help us develop this habit. We’re not getting on track to become good players but we’re getting started. You need to give it more time daily to accelerate progress in a meaningful way.
What you do in the time you have is perhaps even more important than how long you spend each day. That’s what makes TAC really shine, because you have a challenge handed to you daily that is well structured and addresses key skill categories that players need to develop. It’s very important to spend the time you have wisely, meaning in ways that actually advance your guitar skills and knowledge. This is where a good many learning programs pale in comparison. They may have all the right content but it’s not disseminated in a way that’s both efficient and targeted.
