How do you like the Anthem? I’m considering adding a pickup to my Taylor DN3 dreadnought. Does the Anthem affect the sound when your instrument is played unplugged?

@J.Dubs I totally understand where you’re coming from! I’ve been a TAC member since October 2021. After 210 playing sessions, I’m feeling like a jack of all trades but master of none.

Congratulations! Celebrate your win, and enjoy your guitar journey! Cheers!!!

Hi Melvin O; I don’t know if Tony read your message, but it caught my attention. When I first joined TAC, I was unsure how I was doing. I wasn’t sure if I was making any progress. I think I am, and I have a hunch you’re doing okay, too! I’ve come to the conclusion we’re all relying on each other for help, guidance and
support. Have fun, keep practicing, and best wishes to you on your guitar journey! -
@Desmoteque Hello; I just happened to come across your question, and since nobody has replied, here’s my opinion:
Start by working at your own steady pace. After you complete the 30 Day course, I believe the next step is the “5 Day Guitar Routine Challenge” before starting the Daily Challenges.
When I first joined TAC, I was unsure how to proceed. I still haven’t quite figured it out. I’m under the impression, there is no set structure. We’re all relying on each other for help, guidance and support.
If you’re still uncertain, post your question again. Maybe a more experienced TAC family member will reply.
Best wishes to you , and good luck on our guitar journey!

@Geordie You’re right. There are times when the tabs are off. They don’t match what Tony’s demonstrating in his video. I’ve noticed it, too. Infrequent, but noticeable, and a bit puzzling.

Hope everything goes well for you. Happy you’re playing again! 🙂

Congrats and good luck 👍

Congratulations!

@Cadgirl @HowardM At this stage in my guitar journey, Tony’s fingerpicking challenges are way too much for me to handle. I enjoy watching Tony’s instructional videos, but when it comes to fingerpicking, 10-minutes of frustration and not having fun is a real time-robber. It’s just not my jam. I firmly believe I should be spending my valuable time on something I’m truly interested in.

@jumpinjeff Thank you for your good intentions and well wishes. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and suggestions. As to progress coming easily, I regret I missed that boat about 40-some years ago. That’s when I quit playing guitar, unfortunately. I’m sure I would have made significant gains in a short amount of time back then. Now I’m in my mid-sixties, and I’m dealing with arthritis, muscle deformities, and a host of other infirmities related to aging. Restarting and relearning guitar isn’t coming so easily, but it is coming! 🙂

@jumpinjeff Find the root of these things — frustrated and not diggin’ it? I would rather not go down that path. Fingerpicking is a struggle for me, often confusing, and not fun… So, I’d rather skip it for now. I’m not giving up on it, I’m just saving it for later. I’m more drawn to flatpicking. I’d rather spend time learning flatpicking and playing music that interests me, stimulates me, motivates me, and resonates with me. In the recent Acoustic Tuesday Show (episode 249), Tony said “find the things that you enjoy playing and follow those things.” That’s what I’m going to do.

@staustin Thank you for your feedback. I am not going to quit playing. I’m just considering taking a break from fingerpicking. That’s all. I’m going to keep playing guitar. I enjoy playing. And, I’m not giving up on TAC. I’m having fun. I’m making progress. I’m just not digging’ the fingerpicking right now, man. There’s a lot more to Tony’s Acoustic Challenge than just the Daily Challenges. Right?

Good to know! @Loraine Thanks! 😊

@Loraine Thanks for your reply. When you say I “own it for life,“ I presume that means as long as I maintain my membership? I won’t have to pay for it again next year?
