next move please
Good afternoon everyone and Happy Sunday!
I began my TAC journey in mid-January (2026). It’s nine months later and I’ve just finished (many times over) my 30 day intro and 5 day routine. It took me that long to feel somewhat competent in those courses to move forward….even though Tony told us to keep going, I just couldn’t do it.
Anyway, Im here today asking what you folks would suggest the best route(s) (courses within the TAC program) to take at this point??? …and after that as well.
My membership is valid until mid January 2027; however I plan to continue with TAC for another year and see how that goes.
<font face=”inherit”>I sure appreciate any </font>guidance<font face=”inherit”> you could give me for my next beginner step.</font>
<font face=”inherit”>Thank you for your time,</font>

Hey there! I recommend jumping right into the daily challenges. I feel like I’m probably similar to you… not wanting to “move on” to the next challenge until I feel like I finished one. Maybe you didn’t “master” it but got more comfortable.
I’d advise you to completely let go of that mindset for the daily challenges. You may be able to do them easily, or you might only be able to feel comfortable with 1% of it. That’s okay. The goal is progress, not perfection. Whatever you are able to do that day, that is the win. These techniques and exercises will come back around and you’ll continually grow after each round. Have fun!

Thank you Matt. Just what I was looking for. Thanks for the encouragement as well!

Hi scramolini, this is your journey and can be set up however you like. There are the daily challenges, which are a great way to begin to build more on the foundational skills needed in playing the guitar. They are challenges, and that is the purpose of them. It is important to remember not get hung up on them. The entire program is built around progress over perfection. It is very important to mark them complete after 10 minutes. It doesn’t mean you can’t continue to practice, but the don’t get hung up on trying to perfect the skills. The essence of the program is that as long as you continue to progres through the lessons, you will get better. The lessons repeat every 8-9 months, and that is on purpose. You will be able to compare how you were at each point in time and see your progression. This is also the purpose of the benchmark songs, along with setting the next 3 months goals to works towards. This has worked well for all the countless students before you, and I guarantee it will work for you. You will simply run into frustrations and disappointments if you shoot for perfection, and you will miss out on so many new lessons. Trust the process. 🙂
Another route is to take some skill courses. What are you interested in learning? I always suggest the Jumpstart to Strumming and Flatpicking courses, as well as the strumming course. One of the most important courses is the Stretching course.
You can always do both. Whatever you want to gain from your time with TAC is what you should focus on.
