Just signed up and can’t wait to get started.
First day after my guitar collected dust for a quarter-century! Such a simple lesson, but so satisfying!
back at it
love the simple power chord!
Power chord on Day 1. I like it!
good start
So much information, to read, to listen to…this alone takes more than 10 Min.
Have not begun yet and are already frustrated….
I’ve played fiddle for a while; guitar not so much and especially not Tab. This will be good for me.
difficult to spread my fingers to reach, but I was able to keep them placed for a small amt of time
Show how to properly hold a pic and exercises to separate fingers far enough to do power chords & eventually bar chords
Already lost. The directions on this website are very hard to follow, how you go to the next step. I don’t even know how to describe it as it is so confusing. Also, i was not really able to put my fingers in the spots you were showing. You never described what a “fret” is. Is it the metal strip or the spaces between. If you are dealing with people like me it is important to dumb it down.
Back at it. 😉
Let’s start making fun
I can’t even get my fingers to go that far apart:(
Pretty basic but getting my ring finger to that fifth fret is tough. Can I just use my picky finger?
I need a little more self-confidence. I can’t seem to get the strumming and fretting to work together.
fingers need stretched out
Thanks Tony. We are getting there. I will keep doing lessons over and over until comfortable. You are a great teacher. Love the program – well done by your team.
Once your done learning your done!! Will keep going……….
I did it! My left wrist hurts a little but I’m confident that I can do this.

Just finished number 6. A little confused.
I completed in about 10 day as it was a basic review of skills I already have. I have been doing the regular daily challenges and have completed some of the additional 5 day challenges.
I need a Chord chart on the screen
Need a tune
Most of this course was review, but I picked up some great tips! You are a very thorough teacher and it’s a pleasure to sign in again and again! I did the 30 days in 10, but more than 10 minutes a day. After that I’ve logged in to do 6 chords, stretching, strumming, and 3 weeks of TAC. It feels good to be learning the “correct” way of doing things. I’m nowhere near an accomplished guitar player. I’m a 71-year-old Nana with somewhat arthritic hands, but I’m doing stretches every day! My hardest task is muting the strings. So, once you taught muting the strings I’ve reviewed it every day, but to no avail. If you, or anyone have any specific stretches for the width of the fretboard I’d so appreciate it. (Janhb777@gmail.com). So onward with TAC and thank you Tony!
Same 🙂
having fun
just like Jake in Two and a Half men. haha
My try didn’t sound that good but it was a start can’t wait to improve and get my fingers use to the fret board
I need to build up my fingertip calluses
Trying to play the simple chord you showed for Smoke on the Water and having a hard time getting enough spread to reach fret 3 & 5. I played a lot when I was in grade school, now I am retired and would like to start again. My granddaughter just showed some interest, and I would like to try to progress along with her.
Will my ability to spread or reach my fingers improve with time? I don’t remember having this issue when I was younger and my hands were much smaller
Great lesson
Got it. Thanks for the intro!
Not bad for the second time.
My left hand was def not built to skip frets… but here’s to trying!
Fingers need to streatch wider. Possibly need wider neck guitar.
Fun. Just learned to play the opening riff to “Smoke on the Water”. Now just need more practice to get it to sound better!
I’ve “graduated” from the 30-day challenge” and want to know how I get to the “daily challenge”?
Hi Ken. For help with this, please reach out to TAC Support. Email: support@tonypolecastro.com
I’ve been playing for 7 years. Is this the wrong program for me? Was hoping you would do an assessment to bring me in at the right spot?
good
Was Inspiring !
Long Stretch from 3 to 5.
Very tricky navigating, I’m computer-challenged, so that doesn’t help. I have yet to find the tablatures
I could not get my ring finger to the 5th fret for the life of me. ugh
A little tricky navigating around.
good start
Great way to get going.
Difficult to get my forefinger and ring finger to spread from 3rd to 5th Fret.
