    BBerry—

    TAC should be thought-of as “another part” of your overall guitar-learning journey, working in conjunction with other sources of teaching and learning/lessons/materials. I can’t believe there is a one-size fits all, “we will make you a great guitarist”, website or other source- (inc private lessons).

    We all start our guitar journey from a different spot; different amounts of experience/ different skills already in place/ different eventual goals/ etc.

    TAC’s emphasis isn’t about “learning to play a song”…… It’s about giving you a broader view– toward learning how to play any song. Learn all the skills and drills— along with playing-along with your favorite tabbed songs- (“spread-out” you learning a bit).

    In my 3 years in TAC, I did sometimes wonder “what is this stuff?– why do I need this?“. Then I realized you have to be patient enough to let your brain have the time to take it all in. It just plain …. takes time.

    Don’t worry…. the lightbulb moments… and the small wins… will come.

    Focus on:

    Having FUN with it all.

    Learn the huge difference between practicing and playing.

    Playing SLOWLY and ACCURATELY is way better than fast– (fast will come).

    You learn a LOT right here in this TAC forum- (and there are great folks in here also).

    Hang in there

    T-O-C
