I had many of the sentiments you are feeling right now. You are in the perfect place. Ignorance is not stupidity. You have many years experience. You had the wrong teacher for all those years. Have faith in the system you choose whether it be TAC or somewhere else. The fantastic thing about TAC is that it teaches how to play guitar and not just the finger choreography of a song. (It took me a good while to figure out that these two things are not the same.) Any expectation you have is where your fun goes to die. Jetison your expectation. Own your past experience for better or worse. My best mindset for this was: The way I learned on my own did not make me the player I wanted to be. There is no wrong way, only ways that are slower or faster. Effort and Good Direction will be the new generators of progress. Frustration is the enemy and it will stifle progress. Nothing put my guitar into a closet faster than frustration. Fun or frustration, both were available, I had to choose which I was going to experience. I learned “fun” was the way to improvement and success.
