The stalwarts of TAC have already spoken so not much to add really. Tony really does try to instill in us the mantra that there is no such thing as ‘falling behind’ on where you should be. Your routine sounds awesome but you may decide to change it at some stage and that’s fine. I try the daily challenges in the week (get about 50% of them at at least .5 speed), dip into some skills and then I try to write a new tune each weekend putting into practice what I’ve learnt during the week. It’s just me and my guitar at weekends, no routine, no scales just playing for the fun of it which is the whole point of all the practice after all.

I’ve played on and off (more off than on) since my teens but never got past a few cowboy chords. I wasn’t even going nowhere fast – it was nowhere slow – until I joined TAC last April at age 55 and I just haven’t looked back. I am so pleased with my progress not only because of the official TAC lessons, but also the family of encouraging people here like @MikeGaurnier and @jumpinjeff who you’ve already heard from. I check in at the 90 Day Progress Parties to meet other TAC members face to face and also set goals and learn news from Tony. And (I can’t quite believe it) next week I will be playing my first live guitar to an audience at the SCONES Virtual Open Mic. Nervous? Hell yeah – but also really excited about it. You are right where you should be and I’m sure looking forward to hearing some of your playing at some stage. Keep on Rockin! 🤟😎🎸
