    Wow!!! This has been a year like none other. I just hit my first Taciversary on May 2nd; one year and a month after losing a career of 20 years and hitting a low. To say I was down would be an understatement. I saw Tony’s “light the guitar on fire” ad after a few drinks on a Saturday night on the couch and told the very understanding wife “it’s now or never”. I had started practicing again but had no direction and decided to give Tony some trust. Since then I have missed one day of practice, completed Fretboard Wizard twice, done other skill lessons and started my own YouTube and Rumble channels (still minor league but getting a little better). I have much work to do (especially with finger style education) but am a bit shocked how simple many songs are that I can add to a song list. I have about 40 in various stages of memorization and have put some videos up on my channels. I am a singer by long time experience and am glad I can now be my own band.

    This next year (although with shortened practice times due to having a new job) will end with a full evening’s worth of songs to play at a jam or in a coffee house or pub. That is the goal. I also want to spend more time with the TAC folks. Life has gotten in the way of getting to know you peeps better and I want to remedy that.

    GUITAR GEEKS UNITE and thanks for being there.

    Hello Spiz, Congratulations on your TACiversary! Playing the guitar has definitely pulled me up from life’s lows and great you have a supportive spouse too. Best of luck with your new job and that pub gig :)!
