Absolutely! I knew almost nothing about theory before starting TAC even though I had played guitar from tab and chords for years. I have done the Fretboard Wizard a couple times and now I know the basic stuff which has helped me immensely! And once it sunk in a bit, I even started playing some piano. I find that the theory is very visible on the piano, so I like doing it to reinforce the concepts that I learn on the guitar.

For sure @jumpinjeff – I’m with you on that! Even though Tony gives us all the golden information from the start, it takes a while for it to sink in. Luckily he keeps stressing these concepts every day, and somewhere along the way I have developed the instinct to slow way down when I’m tripping up – yes 30 bpm is just fine. The previous version of TAC only allowed us to look at slow, med, fast. Now the new one allow us to do slower than slow – 0.5 or 0.75 or can use a metronome for even slower. I now am convinced that’s were you want to be to get better. It gives your brain time to think about your next move and send the message out to your fingers – once your brain isn’t needed anymore you can speed it up! I really want to focus on timing more this year and being on time regardless of speed.
