    Hey I didn’t see this one at the time, but thanks for posting. Well done. It helpful to see someone play the songs other than Tony. Hard enough for me to just record myself, but posting it is the next level.

    I agree that the majority of the time the lessons come and go as the months roll by the that is fine. However, I’ve used favorites in the software and they are somewhat difficult to navigate since the titles are somewhat cryptic. There are songs that I work on in my song list, and I like going back and do parts from those lessons. I just save the emails with the links for the months or bookmark lessons I want it works fine.

    Seems to me if you have a lifetime membership or have been a member for 3 you should have easy access to the past classes. I tried favorites but the lessons titles don’t lend to easy lookup. If one wanted to spend the time having elaborate bookmarks in their bowser would work.

    Thanks for the feedback. The more I learn the more fun I have playing around. Sometimes I play way too long especially when it’s fun. I’m learning that when it’s hard and frustrating that’s when some learning is really happening.

    There are some songs to learn in the skill challenges, but there are tons of places on the web that I use.

    I was where you were a few years ago when I started. The lessons seemed to be helping me play cords and pick out some things, but I felt like I wanted something that I could learn and play and work on so it sounded good. I initially ended up finding few songs that I liked and learned to play those. There’s tons of places to find song info on the web, but I just used Ultimate Guitar for tabs. Tons on YouTube too. Also I learned songs to sing with my grandkids. This is part of building a song repertoire in the TAC Guitar Routine that is really up to you. Learning songs adds to the overall enjoyment and gives you something to play and see how your skills are improving. Some key advice I’ve learned is to start playing them slow and increase speed as you progress. If you can’t play all the cords just skip them and add them to your practice (particularly barre cords). There are some songs to learn in tTAC under the skill courses that are easier.

    WOW that is fantastic. 1000 sessions. Any thoughts on the journey? How long did it take and did you get through any dry spells. Did your habits change along the way? Just curious since I just finished 400.

    I agree with you, but I think it’s related to how they want users to go through the lessons. I just use my chrome bookmarks to save the ones I like. I sometimes give them nick names so I can remember them better than the names Tony gives them.

    Saving in TAC favorites is probably the best way to make challenges available as long as you remember to do it before the challenge changes to the next month. This will give you that one lesson. Sometimes I struggle to remember the name of the challenge from the TAC favorites. I save the lesson from that month in my browser favorites so I can open it along with the rest of the challenges that month. I can include addition info in the favorite name to help me remember too. Sometime I get behind and I keep a separate browser windows open for the month I missed so I can catch up if needed that way I have all the challenges open. I use google browser and name the windows so I can keep them open but separate.

    December 20, 2022 at 9:35 am in reply to: why I bought a REALLY cheap guitar.

    Makes sense to me. I keep cheep ones each grand kid house. However, at my house I use my main 20 ish year old Martin D-15 hanging on the wall ready to play. Life will go on if it gets impacted by the environment in my house. I do notice the cheaper ones feel different from the different neck sizes and some strings buzz a little.

    Thanks for the feedback. I originally wanted to work on guitar was to keep my mind working in retirement. I think it helps. Now I just have fun doing it.
