Great response, Pete- (as always)—

I guess I have just never been of that lackadaisical mindset. Joining-in on something like TAC is not “required-reading” in life. We have all made the deliberate choice to be here. I’m not putting down those who just “coast along”– it’s just never been in my DNA I guess.

Learning how to play a guitar– (and actually understanding things)– is a tough ask– requiring time, work, dedication, and persistence. It’s NOT easy.

I just don’t see how anyone would want to plunk down their $200 each year- (or much more w/ the Lifetime thing)- and not want to really get after it. I know we all have time constraints……… but……… the choice was ours when we joined.

As an old coach (for years)– I know that people quit when they are not “doing good” in whatever it is; they get discouraged because they are not “improving” as fast as they thought they would- (or should).

This thread was started because a guitar-player was thinking of quitting- (maybe because he wasn’t doing as good as he expected(?).

As I said earlier– I never want to see anybody quit— but how fast they see improvement is directly related to how much effort (and TIME) they put in.

Ain’t no gettin’ around that fact. And not just in learning guitar.

I’ve stated my opinion, explained my reasoning, and I’ll shut up now….. I’ve likely overstayed my welcome.
