    I am just about 90 days in with TAC and I agree with the other replies to your comment.

    I came here to re-learn guitar after being away from guitar for many years; it seems like this is a common story here.

    I am finding that I am learning better techniques and abandoning some of the old habits I had developed being self-taught 40 some years ago.

    You mentioned Ultimate Guitar Tabs – I think that is a great place to get “whole songs” AND the ability to transpose those if you wish.

    I have only begun to be a bit more consistent with my time on TAC so I will continue to be a member as I can see my technique is improving.

    As an aside, as I worked through the tabs that are part of the challenges, I notice that the musical score is there as well to help learn the “notes” of the guitar as well. I will most likely add the fretboard wizard at some time to enhance my fretboard knowledge.

    I am modestly OK with theory and can read music (as a vocalist) but I never learned the fretboard connection to musical scores and hopefully will develop this going forward.

    Keep at it – you will enjoy increased technique in fingering chords, playing solo lines, barre chords, etc, and ultimately be able to have enough finger memory to pick up a chord chart on Ultimate Guitar or elsewhere and be able to play them much more easily.

    I would say this is my 2 cents worth but there is a penny shortage….

    I am about 3 months into TAC and have a very fast fiber connection.

    I am glad I am not the only one who finds the response time of the site slow.

    Sometimes frustratingly slow.

    I have no way of knowing how many members are working on the site simultaneously but the slowness is an issue. IIRC the site was down about a week ago due to a cloud server issue.

    But the content is good and I am enjoying the lessons and challenges.
