My Guitar Goal

What I'm Focused On Now

Simply to play my 10 minutes 5 times a week. I really think I can do 7 days a week, and that has been the case so far. (21 days in a row so far), if I play every day for the next 3 months, that would be 90 days in a row, and I would have NEVER done that in 53 years.

Also in December, I go and visit an old mate who always bashes out Johnny B Goode for me on piano. I’d love to have a song or 2 of his vintage (Elvis, Chuck Berry, Fogarty, any 12 bar blues) down pat so I could go, ‘Give me your guitar Joe, lets sing this!’

I was tying myself in knots wondering what is my musical direction? What music am I attracted to? This leads to unfocussed bullshit and dabbling in a bit of everything. Now I can just do what Tony says. Some songs I’ll not click with, some I’ll love. Just play the damn guitar!

My Guitar Routine

This is How I TAC

7 times a week. Play a minium of 10 focus (timed) minutes practising something on loop. Follow Tony’s lesson each weekday, then on the weekends (Sunday and Monday for me here in Australia), go back to each days tab and play video and put in the 10 minutes. Record my speed at 100% accuracy each day, then try to up it on the weekend.

When. In the morning after my coffee. I’ll make a cuppa and head into the music room.

Where. In our spare room. It is perfect now, nice new paint, new carpet and a view out to the garden, it’s a wonderful space where before it was cluttered, dingy and dirty. I have everything I need. A beautiful guitar (Gretch) semi acoustic and electric, a top notch amp, music stand, tuners, capo, picks.
