I wish he could wave a magic wand and make me the player I want to be. Does that help my progress or hurt my progress? For best results, leave lesson planning to the Teacher. Just because you don’t see how it fits does not mean that it doesn’t.* Find success even if it is incremental (all guitar success is incremental, we must open our minds to observe the subtle progress) and don’t stop showing up for the Daily Challenge. You are in charge of your mindset. It is up to you. I totally understand what you are saying about songs. For sure. So many free easy choices to find music. Carlos Santana has some extended 2 chord jams and Grateful Dead Fire On The Mountain is an epic 2 chord song. TAC is not a song specific learning program rather it uses songs and parts of songs as learning tools. There is so much music available through casual search. Have you looked for 2 chord songs? I just did a quick search and the first entry to show was “65 popular and easy 2 chord guitar songs with tabs.”
*a prime example of teaching brilliance is the relationship of the weeks in the the last three months of lessons. As we add Kings court in, most people won’t notice how importantly amazing and subtle adding that extra blue note to the improv scale Challenge actually is. What he introduces here was my gateway to freedom. It is the beginning of study on how all notes are connected. It is also fantastically training your ear to hear tonality. I did not figure that out for myself for about 5 years. I always had this weird sneaking suspicion but I could not prove it. Now I can. Point is,… if you just keep doing the lessons you will learn more than you think you are learning.
