I am on the opposite end of the spectrum from many of the members who have responded here. I am a 60 year old that always wanted to play guitar. I did not play as a teenager, and never had the time until life’s responsibilities began to decline. I responded to the marketing on line after memorizing a few basic songs and searching other websites. I realized I did not have the knowledge or basic skills to be successful. TAC has given me both.

Ultimately though I am not going to be writing music and my goal is to be able to play with others and learn songs. Skills ,drills and education are the fundamentals to this process. But, as a new guitar player I am on my own to learn songs and this is a major weakness. TAC has fostered a guitar routine and commitment to practice and learning. It is a rare day when I only spend 10 minutes on a challenge.

I came to TAC because I was lost on the internet and felt like I was wasting time searching out content. Time that could be better spent practicing. Going back out there to find songs, leads me to other websites that meet my needs.

I understand that it is very hard to be all things to all people, but I suspect the silent majority would like the ability to transition from skills and drills to songs

The other related issue I have is that if I log in from a computer, and the next day log in from an ipad or other device, my streak ends. I have been reassured that my login counter is correct. I do not know about others, but keeping my streak going has been a motivator on low guitar mojo days. Watching it go to 1 is discouraging.
