Why I'm Here

I was always too busy with “life” to learn music.  After retirement I now have the time to learn a little bit about music, and the guitar just seems to be an “everyman” sort of instrument.  The community associated with Tony seems very tolerant of beginners, and I feel very welcome here.

My Guitar Goal

What I'm Focused On Now

Learn the basics, learn to make pleasing sounds, learn a bit about music theory, become better at knowing my way around the fretboard.

My Guitar Routine

This is How I TAC

Ideally I practice for at least 1/2 hour in the morning, and during the winter months I usually get another 1/2 hour practice session in in the evening. As the days get longer this is more difficult to achieve, but I am determined to get at least 1/2 hour of practice in daily.

I usually practice in front of the computer, as I am new enough that I need to see Tony’s instructions as I try to follow Tony’s guidance.
