    Such a cool experience Mark. You have way more gumption than I do. Wish I could have been a fly on the wall.

    I truly understand transitions being a nemesis! You should be damn proud @SherryH ! Keep up the great work – good to know it all comes together eventually.

    You should be. Able to access it, since it’s in the current month. It takes a while to open sometimes. Make sure you’re not resubmitting a request to open it before it has time to process the first request.

    @Dirk_R As someone who has watched you since you joined and seen the progress, I can truly say I think you’re being a tad tough on yourself. You have improved in leaps and bounds and are doing extremely well for only having a year under your belt. Most guitar teachers would agree that those who begin in TAC and do the minimum 10 minutes and work on other songs are way more advanced than just the normal student. I think you should give yourself a good pat on the back and high five and just keep doing what you’ve been doing, because it is obviously working. Keep on plunking!!

    Hi @62promise and welcome to the TAC community. I can’t add much to what’s been said. Just do your best, and you’ll see progress and begin to improve form and you’ll recognize when something sounds right. You don’t need to play at the level of Tony, just do the best you can and you’ll definitely move forward and see improvement. Keep asking questions in the forums and you’ll receive some great advice, insight, encouragement, etc. Have fun and keep on plunking!

    Hi @steve48 , I agree with Mike, put in the minimum of 10 minutes per day on the lesson (more if you like) and mark the lesson complete. You can still go back to it in your free time if you like, but as Mike pointed out the goal is not to master the lesson before moving on. All the lessons throughout a week build upon each other, so you’ll still be practicing the skills. You will notice improvement with just the minimum time committed. TAC teaches foundational skills and you will see the lessons again (they restart about every 8 months or so), and you will notice the 2nd time around that the lessons come much easier, because you’ve had 8 months of practice at the minimum time daily.

    Keep on plunking, and you’ll continue to move forward. Have fun with the lessons and celebrate the victories and small wins and push aside the frustrations and imperfections.

    TAC used to allow you to access the previous 2-3 months of lessons, but when they transitioned to the new site they did away with that capability. – presumably to save server space .
