Hey @Brian2501
Congrats on a year.
Congrats on signing up again.
However, you said:
“My main frustration with the course is that I do not feel like all this time is producing anything tangible…if a week (or a month) of challenges could culminate in learning a new song that would be so so much more satisfying.”
There are many sites on YouTube and that’s mostly what they do. Why did you spend the money to reup? You can learn songs all day long for free.
“Yes I do learn songs on my own..and that is more rewarding and frankly more edifying to me than doing the 10 minute lessons that are soon forgotten. If somebody asked me show me what you learned in the past year on TAC…what would I show them?”
What I hope for you during the next year is that you can answer this question yourself. I think you have missed the whole point of the TAC program if you can’t answer this question now. One of the big facets of the TAC method is small wins. Actively look for those incremental improvements and celebrate them and share them with us. Had you done that, you wouldn’t wonder what you could “show for it”.
Lastly, most instructors teach songs because that’s what most students want. And those students stay students forever and continue needing someone else to arrange songs for them so they can play them. The reason I believe TAC is the best guitar instruction site available is because after 2 or 3 years with TAC, it is common to be able to arrange your own cover songs, or even write your own songs. And you can play even the songs you already knew with much more polish and style and embellishment.
I’m happy that you’ve done TAC for a year. I’m happy that you signed up again. I’m sad that you are unable to see and explain and show what you have gained. But I know you have gained something from TAC. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have signed up again. What’s sad is that you can’t see it.
