    Here’s the link to the Song Vault: https://app.searchie.io/hub/254V7grV3m/

    If you then choose the finger picking library, you should see a screen very similar to the one Beatrice posted.

    I feel your pain, Rob503. I just spent about 10 or 15 minutes looking for that link myself. I found it in another forum post – probably the same one where I found it on prior occasions.

    It is very inconvenient to have to search through a bunch of old posts to find a way to the Song Vault. When I joined TAC in 2017, I signed up as a Lifetime Member and also bought into Fretboard Wizard. Lifetime Membership might not be an option anymore. Song Vault was an add-on that was included as a bonus with Lifetime Membership. I love playing those songs, especially the flat-picking ones. I play a few of those bluegrass tunes nearly every day. Periodically, I like to go back and refresh my memory on some I have forgotten. But each time I try to get to the Song Vault, it gets more difficult.

    When TAC underwent one of it’s overhauls a few years ago, they “dropped” the Song Vault as an add-on. They made it free to everyone (and perhaps they comped or refunded something to the people who had paid for it?), but they don’t provide any sort of a link or even mention it as far as I have found. I’m not sure I understand the philosophy. It seems as if they have continued to make it available but actually want it to remain hidden. They certainly don’t seem to want to encourage it’s use.

    I found some earlier incarnations of TAC much more to my liking. There used to be something called “Tony’s 76 Quick Lessons” that I found very helpful, but that got discarded in the makeover. The chief concern YAC’s management expressed was that too many people were overwhelmed by the amount of content, so they wanted to streamline the process. They did so at the expense of removing a lot of what I liked about TAC.

    I play the guitar every day except on those really rare occasions when it is impractical to take my travel guitar on a trip. I still complete all the TAC daily lessons by the end of every month, although I tend to batch them – one or two sessions a week. Maybe racking up the numbers is what drives me to do that. But I have to confess I spend much less time here than I did, and I really don’t enjoy it as much as I did say in the first few years. But the changes were probably necessary to support TAC’s business model.
