Playing from Alanson, Michigan (northeast of Petoskey)! Been wandering from teacher to teacher and find Tony’s way the best. Dabbling for 5 years. Haven’t mastered it yet. Just want to have fun!
I am from Winter Haven Florida. I have played guitar in the past. Took some lessons and learned more form a few friends that were in a band. Learned by being taught songs similar to what you method appears to be. Started again today for the first time in over 35 to 40 years. Fingers are sore after just 10 minutes. Some unintentional dubbing of strings. Time is short for me so I have to make time. Hope to strengthen finders with the practice.
Great lesson! Thank you Tony! From Surprise, AZ!
How is someone supposed to do these daily challenges if you are a complete beginner? I don’t know anything about the different chords. It actually turns me away from joining TAC.
I do agree with all the ideas you’ve offewred to your post.
They are very convikncing and can definiotely work. Nonetheless,
the posts are vedry brief for novices. May you pleasee lengthen them a
little from next time? Thanks for the post. http://boyarka-Inform.com/
Hey Tony, this is my first session. But I can already see that l am going to enjoy it and learn a lot Thanks.
Thanks Tony. At 75 I know how to play many campfire songs but what I really want is to learn how to play songs better. So little pieces of advice from you can go a long way with my playing effort.
Curry from Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada
Thanks again
Andrew from Oxford, England. I used to play a lot when in my late teens and early twenty’s then life got very busy… I’m now 68 and need some help getting started again. Some of the old skills still exists, most don’t! I’ve just done Dan 1 of the 5 day challenge. Hoping TAC will be the help I need.
Ben From Denver. I have been “journeying” for about a year and a half. I enjoy the platform, was a member some time ago. I found that if I missed a day, it was difficult or I didnt just have the knowledge to go back and find it. Also if it takes me a few days or a week to get the first part down, I am already behind because I have missed the following days lessons. It was frustrating.
Dublin Ireland. Can you double view the video and tab on a tablet
I’m back sampling these sessions after a year or two on then off of Tony’s program (though I have kept practicing). I like the idea of learning a familiar song of a favorite artist. The alternative G-C chord fingering is a cool thing to learn, and a challenge to adapt to.
Great session. Appreciate the tips to speed the learning process. A retiree getting back into learning and playing. Watching from Kansas City.
1st lesson
Ugg can not get my pinky there
[email protected]
!st session. I enjoy your approach and instruction.
My short, fat fingers prevent clean string pressing
Jean from Windsor, NC. First session.
Hi Tony,
I’m struggling, still on the first lesson, getting a bit better but barely noticeable.
I’m very new at this, my fingers are quite tender, I’m still building calluses which limits my play time also my fingers seem like they’re too short,
Not giving up, just think you should know what level I’m at.
thinking maybe too early for your challenge. second lesson is already available, but I’m not there yet.
I was a TAC member way back and now that I’ve retired I’m keen to rejoin. Angel from Montgomery is a great restart Thanks Tony
Whoa. That (3) finger G chord was hard enough, but then the C chord shift?! Talk about pinkie finger pain.
hi Tony been with tac before it was 119.00 now its 197.00 give us seniors a break if we sign up again can we get it at 119.00 good selling point what do you think just asking senior man in Fla
Chicago, IL (fits perfectly with the awesome song choice)!
I am aware that this is a free lesson and most of the time one doesn’t get something for nothing, but I thought, after listening to Tony numerous times, I thought that I would at least be able to understand what is going on. I’m not sure what chords I’m supposed to be playing? It looks like C and G, but what is the very first 4 strums?
I am sorry – I was confused as to which video to watch and clicked on the watch free class, which took me to Tony’s infomercial. I was totally confused! I think I have it now.
Hi Tony and all,
Vincent from Hamburg Germany. Always fun to play along with you.
Long time dabbler.
Reno, NV
Wow! Im loving this new way of G to C. Who knew? Thanks for sharing! My first TAC from Buena Park, California.
Holy Crap that was hard! This was my first time on your site. I’m 56 years old and tried and failed twice earlier in life to learn guitar. That new way of going G without the index finger was hard (my brain still remembers the traditional way to do G from 12 years ago. Going from your new way to do G to the new C chord you taught looks easy but was not as easy as it looked.
Hello Tony.
Manfred from NE Washington state. First TAC. loving it. THANK YOU!
Thank you1 I did it! Been away from TAC for a couple of years -good t be back.
First session! From Aurora IL
Hi Tony, Dave from Golden,Colorado. Turned 73 this year and looking to expand my horizons. Getting the right fingers on the correct frets and strings is challenging. Hope it gets easier.
From Vancouver Canada. A great lesson for a mature late starter
Dave from Canton Ga. I also did TAC a few years ago. Then stopped. And no surprise still playing the same things with no improvement. Taking the 5 day challenge in hopes it inspires me to keep it going. Thank T for offering the challenge.
Thanks Tony, I find it interesting, this new approach to the guitar. I’ve been playing guitar off and on since my teens and have had a few dry spells in my playing.
good lesson but wasn’t supereasy for me
Hey Tony. My first session from Tulsa, OK.
1st session. In Aledo, Texas.
1st time! Picked up a used Harmony guitar from a pawn shop…what do I need to tune this thing?
Try the Fender app for your phone. I also didn’t know how to tune till a google search.
I live in Lakewood Washington. I am sorry but I never heard of this song, so it is exciting to be able to learn a new song and to practice with you. I have been trying to learn how to play for a long time. I know some things and when I practice with you on this exercise, I find it hard to remember to put my pointing finger on the C note B string of the C chord because I am used to removing my third finger off of the G note E string to go to the C note on the A string. They seem to go together. I am enjoying playing along and being able to change up the speed so I can practice getting it right. Thanks 1st day with you.
Howdy from Chicago. I did one year of TAC a long time ago and took classes at OTSoFM but decided to take a session off. One thing led to another and my guitar has been collecting dust for 2 years. I thought I’d give it a other try when I saw the TAC email.
Interesting technique
Feels awkward going to new chord on the 4 and is taking some work. I have a tendency to go to a 3/4 time strumming pattern.
I’m picking this up from Sydney Australia. I’ve. Even playing for over 50 years but can always improve.
Been playing on and off for a few years looking to improve whatever wayvI can
Markofcourse from St Pete, Fl. Day 1 of first ever TAC.
Great song to learn. You say it is a great campfire song that everyone knows but I am amazed at how many people I asked over the weekend who have never heard of it. Guess I’m hanging out with the wrong people. For Sue below, try ultimate guitar, they have the chords and lyrics to everything.
Lake of the Ozarks Missouri here. Have played in the past, but not well. Looking to pick it back up and improve.
Hello from SW Florida. I’ve been attempting to learn to play Guitar since I was 13 yrs old. I’ll be 70 in April. It seems I have a hard time staying dedicated to learning and most of all practicing. I’m hoping this will keep me on track to becoming a better player.
I can’t find the words to this song and am not familiar with it
I have been trying to get my pinky stronger. This G is good for that
Aloha from Kaneohe, Hawaii. 1st challenge lesson. Will add the quick change G to C to my toolbag.
Thank You
Hi Tony
Thanks so much for sharing your expertise to help us struggling guitarists. I have been playing for some time but not progressing much. I am here from just outside Tulsa OK in Bixby. Again thank you!
First Session of this TAC challenge. Great start. I am In Ashburn, VA.
Thanks Tony, 1st timer from Durango, Colorado. Working on the new G and C fingerings!
Great Tony!
Enjoyed playing these chords
Hello Tony, Houston, Tx here, first time in the acoustic challenge. So far it sounds great. Thanks for the challenge.
First session from Santa Barbara California
Like it
Terre Haute, Indiana….I want to play at a higher level and welcome all help I can get.
Hello TAC. Tuning in from Saskatchewan, Canada. Thanks for this lesson!
Lesson #1, from Geneva, Switzerland!
Hey T, tuning in from Myrtle Beach for my 1st session. Love this song!
Bill here in Ojai, CA
Trying the challenge
Lifetime beginner used to following lead by ear on recordings only
Tuning in from Kelowna, BC, Canada. Just working out the basics
Guitar in hand and hailing from Bentonville, AR.
Coming to you from Wasilla, AK. Several years ago I took a year or two of TAC lessons beginning with some basics, chords basics, etc. I still receive emails, saw the challenge and thought I’d give it a go to discover the ease or difficulty in the lessons. Looking forward to the week.
Tuning in from Tampa. The cord progression from C to C/G instead of a stamdard C is a bit awkward, but getting it down.
More stretching of the fingers required!
Bonjour from Montréal, Québec, Canada.
Session #1.
I need an instruction on how to place my fingers I’m lost
I’m in Athens, GA. I’ve watched some of your other videos so I guess this isn’t my first time. I’m 69 and just having fun in my music room.
Hi I’m Ken from Florida. Self taught first timer hoping to get better
Session 1
Napa Valley, California
I’m off work this week and decided to give this a try since I’ve been wanting to learn how to play my acoustic guitar for a while. I’m checking in from Chester, NY and have been singing in local bands for the last 18 years. I’d like to add something more and get back to performing.
This is my first time at this. From Nova Scotia, Canada.
Hey Tony,
Session one, beginner from Arizona. My achilles heel has been chord changes. I find them difficult for my old bones. I need lots of practice (and some stretching) to go from G-C/G-D smoothly and quickly in time.
Hello I’m Matt from Ontario Canada.
I am trying this challenge for the first time.
I’m certainly not a beginner so I’m not going to say this is very difficult.
I am a noodler though so I need something to keep me focused and disciplined.
Oh, yeah, I’m in Northern New Hampshire.
Hi Tony. Session 1. I have some Tabs experience but this is the first real lesson. Nice job. I have broken my right wrist 2ce, so it is hard to turn over my wrist without some pain. I find that if i go from a “normal” G to a “normal” C that is easier for me. I’ll hang in there and find a way to keep up and improve. Thanks for this chance.
Strumming from Cotuit, MA on Cape Cod. First time back in about a year but have completed almost a years worth of lessons from TAC over the years. Happy to be back!
I cannot seem to maintain the G cord , it looks easy,but my ring and pinky want to go where my middle finger goes
This seems too advanced for me
Maybe James (if you’re a never ever before beginner). But if you know anything at all about G and C chords, then you can be an “advanced” player. But it does take prolonged concentration in stages: Stage 1 – Begin with the G that Tony taught, then move only your middle finger from string 5 to string 4, back and forth – a lot. Then (Stage 2) only lift your index finger from string 2 and back onto string 2 again – a lot. Stage 3, at the same time you move your middle finger from string 5 to 4, also drop your index onto string 2 – voila, a (modified) C chord. Finally Stage 4 – (the opposite of Stage 3) – at the sme time you move your middle finger from string 4 back to 5, also lift your index from string 2. You’ve done it congrats! You’re now officially “advanced”. Keep on playin’ – in tiny stages.
Hello, Tony and everyone else on the site here. My first session time with Tony’s Acoustic Challenge. I’m retired and now live in Arlington, TX. I haven’t been very disciplined in my playing routine and I am trying this to see if I like it and if it will help establish better learning habits.
MUTING D,G,B
Good Morning Tony,
Thanks for the lesson, good pace and description. I’m the quintessential year-over-year beginner. I stop for a while then start up again. This seems to be a good way to break that bad habit. I’m 69 and live in upstate NY.
Good morning Tony. Thank you for these lessons. I’m sure 74 years old and am trying to learn to play and not having much success. I’m sure your lessons will help. Elkin, NC
Hi, Tony. Joining for the first time in Mebane, NC. Looking g forward to the adventure!
From Cloquet Minnesota. Session number One and looking forward to being able to play with my boys! Thanks!!
Hi Tony! I’m watching from outside Washington DC. I’’m trying The Acoustic Challenge for the first time.
Limestone from Houston, Texas. This is session number one after a few years of Fender Play lessons.
How are you muting the A string with this C chord modification? Thanks.
Use the finger on the 6th string. Let it lightly rest on the a string which will mute it
Thanks!
In stead of positioning your ring finger on its tip, flatten it out slightly so it gently touches the A string (as well as the E string of course).
