My Guitar Goal
| What I'm Focused On Now | July-October 2023 – I want to finish out the new Fretboard Wizard that I had started in January and got bogged down a bit due to work as well as Tony busting out great new material on the daily exercises. I also want to completely write a song – I have done bits and pieces, but want to put a full song together – need to devote the time to that. I have realized it won’t happen if I don’t make time for it to happen. |
My Guitar Routine
| This is How I TAC | In a perfect week, I guess would play a couple times a day seven days a week. But life usually isn’t perfect, so I’m happy if I get once per day for five days a week for at least 10 minutes. Anything more is gravy. I usually play after dinner and feeding the cats while my daughter is getting ready for bed (usually sometime around 7:30 pm). On the good days, I’ll also play a little just before going to bed or maybe even sneak something in during a break in the work day if I’m at home.  I wish I could play first thing in the morning like many discuss here, but that’s just not in the cards for me at this point in life. |

| Why I'm Here | Well, the main reason I am here is that I have a few nice wooden boxes with strings and I get significant joy when I am able to make pretty sounds come out of them. I played guitar 15-20 years ago and could fake what I knew pretty well – to the point that friends were asking me to play coffee shops with them, but I really new nothing about the guitar beyond what I had memorized. Sure, I could show up at a house party and play a couple songs and people would like it, but really truly that was it. That was all I knew. No understanding of music theory at all. Start to jam, I am lost. Nothing going on below the surface! My 7 year old daughter kept begging me to get out and play the guitar in the back of the closet and kids don’t quit, so it wasn’t long until I started to wonder “Why did I ever stop?” Then I found TAC and saw it as an opportunity to learn guitar the right way. After being here over three years, every day that I pick up the guitar I have this feeling of familiarity and being in control of the instrument that I have never had in my life. TAC has exceeded my expectations. I have exceeded my expectations. I even started playing the piano as well based on all the light bulbs that came on from my first trip through the old Fretboard Wizard and the refresher of starting the new one. Never would have imagined that would happen, but here we are! |
