@tailsawaggin has really hit the nail on the head here. I am finding that by practicing the techniques Tony demonstrates, and having that daily incentive to pick up the guitar and play I am subconsciously absorbing the skills I need to play other stuff – and I’ve only been here 6 months. I know this is working because I follow Angela Petrilli on YouTube and her riff rundowns where you learn a song each week. I could get nowhere near following at tempo 6 months ago. Suddenly I’m able to follow and although I might not get every single one, I am 90% there and I also know the techniques I need to play.
I know some people don’t get on with Tony’s approach, but for me it has catapulted me forward with my playing and I am sure it is that gentle osmosis of technique that is working and not the act of trying to learn the chords to Dust in the Wind or whatever. I also like the support you get when you ask questions and the 90 day party is a blast when they break you out into small rooms to meet fellow TACers face to face. Give it an honest and open try then if it simply doesn’t work for you at least you know you gave it a shot. I think all these courses are personal taste. None are bad, some are just a better fit. My Christmas present from my family this year is going to be the Fretboard Wizard course. I think I’ll be about ready for it by then which I wasn’t in April. Take care, enjoy playing and see you around! Darren (Moonhare)
