    @dfmarcus63 I’m not sure I agree with you wholly, but the focus of TAC has always been the foundational skills. The old TAC was missing how to tie all the skills together to play songs, except for some bluegrass songs that Tony taught in the song vault, but the song vault was discontinued with the new site. There aren’t different levels, such as beginner, intermediate, advanced. Everyone sees the same daily challenges. There are many newer lessons and weekly focuses being introduced, as you stated, but they are interchanged with the older courses, which had been around for quite a while. TAC switched their format from more bluegrass to more popular music, but they are still covering a lot of the same elements, just in a different way than previously. Tony is explaining the site better, how to begin building a healthy foundation, and is spending more time on teaching how to use the tools to improv, build a good lick library, chord transitions that aren’t simply switching between a set of chords but on doing so through actually playing the final product of the weekes efforts while having smooth chord transitions – because that was a link previously missing. I think that when TAC went from the old site to the current site, which was 2 years ago, their focus was to get back to basics with the newer player to teach the foundations of guitar, which was what TAC advertised.

    The courses have always rotated back around every 8-12 months, so that is not anything new, and certain technique lessons are repeated more often during the year, because the techniques apply to what is being taught that week. Having been here 18 months, you will have experienced the lessons rotating around and being interspersed with the newer lesson formats.

    If you have specific examples that you’re referring to or concerned about, please contact support and ask Victoria to either address your concerns or ask that she have Tony possibly address them at a later date. I’m sure I’m not doing it justice here.
