Tony’s Acoustic Challenge – The New Way to Learn Guitar Family Forums Community Support Backing tracks for the final guitar solo and 30 days to play

  • Backing tracks for the final guitar solo and 30 days to play

    Posted by Chuck_1 on June 27, 2024 at 1:46 pm

    I’m nearing the completion of my 30 days to play and Tony has mentioned a backing track for the solo. Can anyone tell me if that solo will be provided in the video player or will I need to download this onto my computer. This was offered to me on a menu when I first joined however the link wouldn’t work at that time so I can download that now if I can find it.

    Another thing I would like to find if I could get help with this. A free ebook from Tony about the guitar challenges was offered for free download on the same menu but also the downloads would not work at that time. I would like to find that now if possible.

    Thanks so much for your help

    Hi! In case you still need this, I am new to TAC and it took me a while to figure this out, too. Go to week 4: “Follow These Steps To Your First Guitar Solo” and look under the video to locate “learn,” “scale,” and “backing track.” If you click backing track, the accompaniment will begin to play. Below that will be the “heart” emoji. Click that if you want to save it as a “favorite” that will remain available to you, down the road. (I am learning to make everything a favorite, basically, because the forum has taught me that weekly challenges will eventually disappear. Creating favorites allows continual access to the monthly/weekly lessons. It also looks like the backing track can be downloaded (next to the heart), though I haven’t tried it. As for the other download, the TAC program won’t let me have 2 pages open at the same time. I’ll go over and try it, then get back to you with what I find. Another thing I discovered is sometimes there is another video beneath the linked video. I discovered that during the lessons introduced the first chords. Scroll down, and there’s a surprise! Let me check on the download . . .

    Okay, the backing track “download” is an audio file, on my Mac. I do not see a way to download it from inside the TAC program. I am wondering if you could do it through your browser (or do an audio recording onto your phone or computer?). The other is a downloadable TAB sheet that works for me. Also, if you look below the word “Forum” under “Resources” on the far left column, you’ll find “Downloads” including the “Quick Start Guide” and the “Guitar Journal.” Are these the downloads you are looking for? They worked for me. I can’t remember if there are downloads available inside 30 Days to Play, so it might be one of these. Welcome to TAC! I hope you are finding your way around. Getting started has a rough learning curve, but I hope you’re settling in.

    Thank you Musicrme, that helps. There was another question on the original post that was about a new ebook that Tony was publishing about 30 days to play and was offering it as an incentive for everybody to join. He said it was in PDF form and the paper form had not come back from the publishers yet. As I finished up my payment transaction to join up on his special low price for the acoustic challenge A link popped up to offer the free ebook NOW! Well since I have a problem you know it didn’t work so I was unable to get a copy of it. I asked the support people and they told me that his book was entitled a journal to record your progress with the challenges. It sounded like something to keep notes in. Its in the download area left side of user screen. No ebook though. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    It’s been quite a while since I went through the course. I really should go through it again.

    I don’t recall the ebook you’re referring to. Within FBW is the FB Guide.
