Yeah, I remember the “old” TAC also- (it was revamped a few months after I joined, I think- but can’t remember exactly).

I remember the “old” Forum being more “open” and “lively”. But, I suppose, with that, the conversations sometimes wandered all over the place……. maybe a bit beyond or outside of just learning guitar(?)……. (this may have been its demise?)….

I am not complaining about the new TAC, but I have read that a LOT of folks feel/felt the “old” forum did somehow seem more fun.

Even though I do “check-in” to the TAC forum every day to see what’s new……. I don’t post in here as much as I used to- (perhaps to the delight of many!).

The TAC Forum— in both the old and new version….. have been a GREAT source of inspiration, information, help, and a kick-in-the-butt-when-I-needed-it.

Anyway– back to the subject at hand….. (and you know that I can go on and on……). I’d like to provide one more example: I’ve taken-in most of the Skills Courses- (and completed them with a decent understanding of each……. All great stuff indeed!

The REAL light-bulb came on…….. later………. maybe a year later/ maybe two years later- (heck– it’s still happening!!!).

My own greater-broader guitar knowledge has grown- (for which I am thankful to many- including you). Some of the stuff I thought I learned or knew back then….. I see differently now. Yes, I knew each lesson’s material– but only “individually”, so to speak. I viewed each lesson or Skills Course completely separate and different from the others.

The really coolest part is that I am NOW starting to see how each of those lessons are/were actually just pieces of a MUCH larger puzzle— they are ALL starting to fit together.

TAC has provided me the opportunity slog thru the mud for almost three years, and get to “meet” some REALLY wonderful, helpful people– who keep pulling me- (well, all of us, actually)- “up”…… to keep us going!

I wish those who have helped me- (again, well, all of us along the way– but have left)– would come back. So they could “see” what we’ve become, in many ways, because of their help.

yadda-yadda-yadda…… some(?) days, I just can’t seem to shut up
