I can’t believe Administrators would refer you to Mentors. There were Mentors at one time – people who essentially pledged to be active in the Community (forums) and jump in to answer questions and help others. It was mainly aimed at making new people feel comfortable navigating the site.
Mentors were not necessarily “old hands.” Some people became Mentors within about a month or so of joining TAC – at least it seemed that way.
I was a Mentor. There actually was a page that listed the Mentors, but I always had trouble finding it. I tried to find it now in the remnants of the old Community, but I was unsuccessful.
The Administrators axed the Mentor program when they rolled out the new site back in late March. That’s whi I find it highly unusual that Administrators might refer you to Mentors. Some of the people who used to be Mentors are still trying to be helpful. Maybe that’s who the Administrators mean.
There has only been a little lesson content added since I joined 4 years ago – to the day, actually. Happy TACiversary to me. I almost got to midnight EDT without even noticing. That didn’t happen on my previous TACiversaries. I used to be pumped up and write about all the geeky guitar fun I had and all I learned, but I don”t think that is going to happen this time. My enthusiasm took a big hit.
Since I joined, I think at least as much lesson content has been deleted as has been added. The TAC method is to cycle through the same daily exercises and make new discoveries in them each time they appear. I am not expecting more lessons or deeper explanations to be added.
