Thanks for sharing Jesse and I have to say I agree whole-heartedly with you. Yes, the daily lessons are very good and over the course of two and a bit years have helped make me a much better guitarist. However, TAC is, or at least was, much more than that; it was about a supportive community. Hell, because of the forums on TAC I became friends with many people, notably Daniel Morin, a man twice my age and living on the other side of the world from me. We collaborated together and get along so well that he wrote a song called The Scoggins Blues, and that’s pretty damn special. Julie I, even put photos of our projects, The Fast and The Hairy, on a mug!
Likewise, sometimes the 10 minutes a day is not possible for those of us with demanding jobs. I work in an international school at vice-principal level, and believe me, that is one hell of a time-consuming and stressful role. The old forums were a great respite from that, and a wonderful place of learning as well. If the only real focus is on the daily lessons, well, I can get good quality lessons for free elsewhere.
Unfortunately, the money-back period for my recent renewal of annual membership has passed, otherwise I would be cashing that in. I bear no ill will towards anyone working at TAC, but the new philosophy is not for me.
