I’ve been with TAC since July of 2020 (but I didn’t have a guitar until August since it was at Luthier), & I started private lessons, I think, in December of 2021. The private lessons helped me take what I’d learned in TAC and apply the skills in songs. That’s where I had always struggled with what I learned in TAC. How do I use it or know when to use it is probably a better way for me to say it. It comes naturally to some people, but nothing about guitar has come naturally to me. Don’t get me wrong. I was playing plenty of songs by then. I wasn’t interpreting them correctly, knowing the proper time stamp, whether the notes or chords I found in the vast internet were correct, or whether I was transposing a song correctly. I wanted to learn correctly. I wanted to use a metronome, understand the different modes, supplement my knowledge of the fretboard, the CAGED system, etc. I’m still not great at any of that last part, but between taking Tony’s Fretboard Wizard, and my guitar teachers lessons, I can usually eke out the answer.
