  • How I TAC – 4/10/2021

    Posted by Zoso on April 10, 2021 at 4:51 pm

    1.) How many days per week do you play?

    Since joining TAC I have taken Tony’s advice of committing to 10 minutes per day to heart, and I do it 7 days a week. Generally I play about an hour a day but when it gets busy I can still find 10 minutes to work on something.

    2.) What time of day do you play?

    Before school resumed I would play from 11:00 to noon. Now that school is back in I play when I get home between 2:30 and 3:00. I am proud of this one because I was forced to change my playing time and I haven’t missed a beat.

    3.) Where do you play?

    I play in one of two place’s generally, either in my family room or on my back patio by the pool. Both places are very peaceful making it easy to concentrate and focus.

    4.) What was your guitar life like before having a guitar routine & how has implementing a consistent guitar routine helped you? (if possible name 3 ways).

    Before I had TAC and a routine I struggled. My play was without a plan or direction and more often than not disappointing because of a lack of progress. I was playing the same stuff over and over not learning or growing in my guitar journey.

    – Regular and noticeable progress has to be my number 1. I feel myself getting better every day, which creates positive momentum and a feeling of accomplishment.

    – Having a routine has created a freedom and opened up my choices of things to work on. I can pick from the hundreds of lessons or warm ups or songs that I might be working on and actually create a practice plan knowing I will be back at it again tomorrow.

    – Fun! Because I now work on specific skills and drills and all of this carries over into all areas of my playing, and playing better is fun. I am also pleasantly surprised how much fun and challenging the lessons are which for me creates great focus.

    5.) Bonus Question: What is one non-guitar item that is a must have in your guitar routine?

    Usually during the day I just have a glass of water, but on a weekend out on the patio a beer pairs well. Then again if my son and I get together and play on a Friday or Saturday night a bit or two of whiskey may be in order 🥃:
