@joseph-vitzen I can certainly relate to your feeling lost and overwhelmed. I originally joined TAC about three years ago. I had only been playing a year, and mainly trying to learn off Youtube videos. After a few months I quit TAC because of your very dilemma. I then took private lessons for a year and a half. During the private lessons, I kept seeing similarities on what TAC was also trying to teach. I rejoined TAC less than a year ago, and wish I had never quit. There is so much here for the value. I just couldn’t see it beyond my frustration.
So, here’s my take. I use TAC as a supplement, and not my main learning tool. I do the challenges, but don’t spend too much time on them unless I’m really into the lesson. I still do at least 20 to 30 minutes on each challenge. You still want to learn to play songs that are within your ability. And there are tons of songs out there for any level of player. TAC teaches elements of songs, not the songs themselves. I think that is the magic of TAC, and what sets TAC apart from other online learning platforms. There are also tons of great lessons from Marty Music, Justin Guitar, Guitar Hero2zero, David Potts, etc..
The best piece of advice I have ever gotten was to have fun no matter how bad you may think you sound. This is why we wanted to learn play in the first place right? Play songs and have fun!
