    You are asking in the right place. Sorry @PaulabMoore I never saw your question. If there are any of your concerns still open now that the question is weeks old, please let us know!

    Another thing to consider @PaulabMoore

    If you are concerned about your investment in the annual TAC course and Fretboard wizard you can rest assured that the annual membership is easily converted into a lifetime membership. All You have to do is purchase the lifetime before the first year has expired, and then request a refund on your annual membership. They will immediately refund the fee for year 1.

    @PaulabMoore you can always take a break from TAC but I wouldn’t if I were you. Try to reframe the concept your daily habit in a way that it doesn’t overwhelm you. Rather than looking at the daily challenge as a list of tasks to get done, think of it as a tasteful buffet where you can cherry pick the most intriguing delicacies. Choose the thing(s) you want to do and mark complete. Doing a bit is better than doing none and if you took time off you might be doing none. Just sayin’!

    That’s wonderful that you were able to make strides via the benchmark challenge last week. I feel similar, it was kind of a watershed moment for me resulting in a big push. Thankfully my circumstances allowed for extra commitment.

    @Guitlesson it can happen that you drift into a rut, you’re not so enthused because you aren’t seeing enough progress. I think that’s the place I was in, especially in the improv realm. In fact with all the time I spent playing last week, improv was by far the smallest portion. I barely played through the scales. But I gave the other 4 challenges my all and then some. This week I need to go long on Wednesday and really take the next step in improvisation since it’s been one of my biggest thorns on my side.

    It’s $599. And just let Victoria (support) know that you want to upgrade. When I did it I got the $197 refund in about 10 minutes.

    I think improv is a stumbling block because I don’t enjoy learning scales, especially 5 of them at once. Would much prefer 1, maybe 2. I know Tony says we don’t have to learn them all at once. We can come back to those we miss next time, but I always find I need to review the first 1 or 2 and I’m back in the same place. Perhaps I need the Fretboard Wizard to really appreciate scales.

  • Thanks for your feedback. I played it a half dozen times with just a few hiccups, but turn the camera on and it becomes a performance and I fingers don’t know what to do. LOL!

    Most beginner players believe they have some kind of physical disadvantage. This is because playing guitar is very hard to do. But the record is chock full of players who have overcome tremendous physical limitations to become excellent musicians:

    Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath), Mark Goffeney (played with his feet) just to name a few.
