Hi @ZADavid , Just wanted to give you my 2 cents worth. You’ve been TACing for only 1 month (I read your profile) – I think you have to give it more time – you’re not going to get better over night – no matter who’s ‘Program’ you choose. Yes, I get that this site runs really slow. I also get frustrated when suddenly finding that I somehow got logged out and have to log in again. But this site has more courses, more information, the best teacher, and the greatest Community – better than any other site on the web (that I’ve seen) – for sure. Like you, I’d been fooling around with a guitar for over 40 years and really wasn’t going anywhere with it. I joined TAC in December 2020 – just a few months ago. I can now really see the improvement in my playing, but I still have a ways to go to get where I’d like to be. I know that it’ll take patience, more practice, and learning, to get there.
As far as ‘direction’, that’s up to you. I suggest doing as many of the “Skills” courses as possible – I’d start with any of the “Jumpstart” courses and do the “Foundations of Fretboard Navigation”. “Fretboard Wizard” is definitely a gem, but it has a separate $cost. You can find some of that information on the web for free, but no one explains it like Tony, and no one else quizzes you on what you’ve learned – which helps to reinforce your knowledge of the subject. Well worth the extra $ (IMHO). The Daily Challenges are just to get you to do something with the guitar for 5 days of the week. If you feel like you need more than the things that are offered here, then you should attend (virtually) some of the VOM’s (virtual open mikes). There’s information about them in the Forums.👍😎
