About Me

First Name	Milt
Last Name	Mays
Nickname	Milt
Why I'm Here	I self-taught, mostly chords, 50 years ago, by getting song books and listening to tapes over and over, I gradually got several songs under my belt. I performed for family, mostly my wife and kids. But I never learned the fretboard, any scales or solos, how to read music, or for that matter the names of each string. I saw TAC fretboard info, and decided to start off with TAC intermediate and was so amazed by how much I learned–how much in the past I had missed. Then I took the fretboard challenge and my brain almost exploded with all the great knowledge. I always wanted to do some performing in front of people, so this helped me to do some open mics before COVID-19 shut everything down. I had also joined a bluegrass jam group, but that shut down, too. Then the TAC VOM started and Zoom bluegrass meetings. Even though I still have tons of nerves for live performances, I have improved so much, thanks to TAC. Great courses, very supportive group of people, a good learning environment. Thanks, Tony and all the TAC teachers and helpers.

My Guitar Goal

My Guitar Routine

This is How I TAC

Usually I play a lot. Being retired, sometimes guitar playing takes over so I have to pry myself away to do other things. I am lucky to have my own room for my various hobbies, so all the guitars and music and computer are right there, easily accessible. I would like to play an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon, kind of split it up, because I find I learn better if I get some new stuff going in the morning.
