“When I joined TAC, it was to get control of my hands and guitar strings, and yes the computer is the vehicle, and I gained a lot of help from others, but I am gaining control of my hands and guitar strings under the new Website, and hope, but cannot predict, its foibles will resolve.”
Funny but when I joined TAC that was definitely part of the reason. The other reasons were to get more familiar with the fretboard and because of the whole “guitar geeks unite” idea of a community and jam clubs. Well, I’ve learned a ton of theory and now, a few years later, I certainly have a better grasp of neck geography. Unfortunately it now seems that the community aspect is not being nurtured (quite the opposite) with a lack of the cohesiveness that I’d seen the past few years. I’m not leaving TAC but have found I definitely log in and post a whole lot less, am having difficulty navigating (and let’s not even talk about my retinas being melted by the new scheme) and falling away from TAC in a way I could never have imagined even a month ago. I’ll still attend open mics (again, not really supported by TAC) and practice my 10 minutes a day but these are now basically the only things I’m taking from TAC and that’s just sad when it used to be a whole lot more. I’ve been holding back on commenting as any new rollout is sure to have issues but from what I can see and what we’ve been told I don’t expect a whole lot. Time will tell.
