@Stilltrying , as an older player (63), I can feel your pain. I was a prior TAC member and quit after about 9 months. I was a sheer beginner and felt I wasn’t getting much out of the course. After two years of private lessons, I started seeing some of the value in the course. I rejoined a few months back and don’t do private lessons anymore.
This will need to be your decision to determine if this is worth it or not. TAC isn’t my only method of learning. Also, you only need to do what you want. If you don’t want to do the Wednesday’s improve, don’t. Just do something else as long as you play. I skip many lessons and don’t fret about it. I used to dislike the improve challenges as well, and would skip most of them. I actually really enjoy them now. I don’t solo, but it is a very fun way to work on my scales. If that’s all I get out of it, I had fun playing scales. Below are some of the areas I see real value.
-TAC gets you to play everyday
-TAC throws challenges/techniques at me that I would never try on my own
-Lessons are short enough for my ADHD
-The Benchmark weeks have become very valuable for me
-I incorporate what I learn into the actual songs I want to play
-Stumming/fingerstyle/flat picking lessons get folks out of their comfort zones
I hope you can find what you are looking for. One certainly gets a lot of content for the price here. But again, only if one sees the value.
