guitar journey…..
I am probably getting ahead of myself. I started TAC a few weeks ago. I really enjoy learning this way. I have been a lifetime beginning guitar player. I have always wanted to pick up a guitar and play a song. At what point does the challenge or something else teach a whole song??

Almost a whole song but not exactly. I believe that relates to copyright laws. But the benchmark songs let you do a song and then add to it each time it comes around again. I believe we will do Hotel California-ish this month. You will like TAC. It is a great process. If you can afford it, the lifetime membership is well worth it. It has yielded great dividends for those of us who jumped on it.

Amen to having the lifetime membership!

Thank you very much for the reply. I just joined a few weeks ago. I am getting a lot out of the course. Next time membership comes around in less than a year, I will be able to decide about the lifetime membership. Thank you again.

Here’s the way I always thought about your point of “learning a whole song”, when held up next to TAC-learning. Years ago someone posted in here- (can’t remember who)- but had a question/comment maybe similar to what you are asking. He used visual descriptions and said- “I’m tired of always just doing “cone drills”– I went to get in the game”. Certainly, in reference to TAC’s Skills Courses and Daily Challenges that are GREAT, but sometimes can maybe feel like they don’t seem to “take you anywhere” when looked at individually.
So, this reminds me of an old pal of mine who wanted to “learn guitar”- this was years ago. He started taking in-person, weekly, lessons from a local guy here- (the guy had been in local bands for years and was pretty good in that regard). Well, after about 6 months of weekly lessons and I don’t know how much money, he announced that he had learned a song that he played for us- (I don’t remember the song). He was so proud. He could play that one song, and- to his credit- really pretty well.
But wait—- I believe the TAC-method is MUCH better! It may “take longer”, because it builds foundational skills from the ground up. Takes a while to “see” this, and it can seem kind-of “drawn-out” or “vague”…..but TAC- (along with this wonderful group right here in the TAC Forum!!!)- are together building you a broad-based BOATLOAD of skills.
Rather than being able to play ONE song great– you are quietly and methodically learning how to play ANY song– because you’re learning the REAL skills…… the RIGHT way…….. Stay the course!
Just my two-cents…….. You are definitely on the right track– here in TAC…. (hey, that rhymes!)
