FREE BONUS #1


30-Day Beginner Guitar Jumpstart


Before trying the Daily Challenge, your mission is to learn (or re-learn) the
basics while slowly building up to a consistent playing habit. That’s what the
30-day guitar challenge was designed for and it works!

Each week will consist of two things…

1. Learn each skill on the first day of the week
2. Play that week’s exercise 10 minutes per day


($297 Value)



Primer - Tune your guitar, learn the 4 posture and technique check-ins, how to
read tablature and chord diagrams

Week 1: Blues - While learning these FUN and familiar blues songs, you’ll also
work on core skills such as fretting mechanics, rhythm guitar, & guitar neck
movement. First, learn the songs, next, spend at least 10 minutes per day in
week 1 playing through the songs.

Week 2: Chords - Learn the three chords found in thousands of songs. First
you’ll learn the proper way to play and trouble shoot G, C, and D, then you’ll
practice them using the Quick Draw game, then you’ll build finger strength with
the super fun Strength Builder exercise.

Week 3: Strumming - Rhythm and timing is perhaps the most foundational skill
that you’ll rely on through your guitar journey. In week three you’ll learn the
“golden rule of strumming” then you’ll learn the two core strumming patterns you
can apply to almost anything.

Week 4: Soloing - The holy grail of playing guitar is knowing how to solo. This
week we’ll break it down to the basics of what a scale is and how to use one to
solo over anything. This will prepare you for improvisation every Wednesday in
the TAC Guitar Routine.

Challenges at any time.

Fretboard Wizard will teach you how to find any song’s key & chords by ear,
change any song’s key instantly, find any note, chord, or scale, improvise
knowing you’re using the right notes, create your own melodies, speak “the
language”, explore new musical ideas, or write your own music.

Just Like These  Happy Guitar Students  Did...




"I have been playing guitar on and off for 30 years and Tony's Acoustic
Challenge works for me."


This is an awesome guitar program!

I never had any formal guitar training. I was self-taught and I had major holes
in my guitar skill set that TAC is filling. I am definitely happy with the
results I have seen in my 3 years of being a member.

If you commit to putting in the time this will make a big difference in your
playing. I would and do recommend this to any and every one interested in
learning guitar or if you're like me needing to take it to the next level.

"I realized music is gone from my life and I don't like it."



Music was important to me through my early twenties and then life just got in
the way in so many ways.

It wasn't until I was in my later forties that I realized I want to play guitar
again. I realized music is gone from my life and I don't like it.

My dream is more just to be able to play anytime any place. Like the campfire
jam, "Hey, just bring guitar over. Let's play today." Kind of things that I just
enjoy. And if it's like, come over, I'm making burgers on the grill. Oh, bring
your guitar.

It's a great day.

"I learn about five times as much per week as I do from a once-a-week guitar
lesson."



I love the TAC program.

I've been taking private lessons and while the instructor feedback is useful, it
has limitations. I can only learn as fast as what I get in a half-hour lesson
once a week.

I’ve also subscribed to several other online guitar courses, and they lack a
clear path to learn music theory and integrate it with learning and playing in a
fun way.

I love Tony’s clear and straightforward approach to teaching by explaining
concepts in a simple way.

Providing written materials and having practice sessions and play along
opportunities to reinforce what is taught has skyrocketed my learning.

I learn about five times as much per week as I do from a once-a-week guitar
lesson.

I also love the TAC community. I’m a part of a culture who is traveling on the
same journey. It’s nice to know others share the same passion and have the same
struggles and wins as I do.

Keep up the good work Tony. Can’t wait for the new Fret Board Wizard course.
Knowing what you’ve put together so far, I think it will be the bomb.

Tim Picks
TAC Member 

"I wanted to play with my husband who started learning guitar in his 60s"



I have been a member of TAC since 2016. Started at age 59 having never played an
instrument before.

Periodically I drift away, looking for that magic bullet that will turn me into
a “real player” but I always come back to Tony. His formula works.

His method of teaching HAS made me a “real player”. I always know that when I
stick to his lessons I make progress.

I will always be here because it is fun and I can continue to develop my skills
just by dedicating time each day to a TAC lesson.

Sharon T.

"I started playing in my 20s then for 30 years nothing happened."



When I was about 45, I would grab my guitar and I would go, well, I guess I'll
teach myself some chords today. It was ridiculously boring and there was no joy
in it at all.

TAC skips the extra noise and takes you straight to the goal by learning guitar

I'm A Beginner. Is This Too Advanced For Me?

There is no better place to be for a total beginner. Before you start the Daily
Guitar Challenge, I want you to go through the 30 Days to Play Guitar program
that comes free inside Tony’s Acoustic Challenge.

From the very first lesson you’ll be playing fun, recognizable things that will
keep you inspired to move to the next step.


Why Is This Method Of Learning Guitar So Effective?

Tony’s Acoustic Challenge uses an unconventional Dynamic Guitar Learning method
that combines deep guitar immersion with structured variation. In other words,
you’ll regularly attempt difficult things in small doses, and never get bored.
Excitement is built into the system! Members report explosive progress after the
first few weeks. There is truly nothing else like it.



Can I Do The Lessons On My Own Time?

Yes! The daily lessons are pre-recorded and get released every week day at
12:01am MST and are available for the entire month. You can bookmark any lesson
and return to it later. All daily lesson videos include downloadable tabs.

What If I Miss Some Days? Can I Catch Up?

Life happens, so the program is designed so you can take a day off or a week or
two off then pick right up without feeling behind. The only pressure you’ll feel
is from yourself, and that’s a great thing!

Any Contracts Or Commitments?

Nope. You can upgrade or cancel your account anytime – for any reason. If you
cancel before the end of the billing period, you’ll retain access until that
period is over.

What Happens If I Don't Join TAC?

It’s easy to justify staying in your guitar den by yourself.

But it’s a game changer when you know that you’re not the only one with buzzy
chords or pinky control challenges or barre chord frustrations or a cheap
guitar…

To know that you’re not the only one who’s deathly afraid to play in front of
others…

To be encouraged and gently nudged to push past your comfort zone…it’s like
magic for your guitar journey.

And nothing makes you feel more fulfilled than pushing past limiting beliefs and
discovering that you DO have what it takes to make your dream guitar scene a
reality.

We’re here waiting for you. I hope you’ll join us.

"It all combines to make this experience delightfully challenging."



Steven H.

TAC Member

As a beginner I really appreciate the well thought out method of teaching and
the built-in emotional support.

"I'm amazed at what I can already do."



JK A.

TAC Member

Brought out my guitar when one of my adult children was over. I played a couple
things and his jaw dropped.

"I have played my guitar 298 days since I started the TAC in November of 2022!"



Gary Cork

Oct 20, 2023

I have to say, Tony has incorporated a number of psychological learning
principles in his method...principles that motivate and reward playing the
guitar.

I took one-on-one lessons for a year just before Covid shut things down, and I
had a LOT of trouble getting myself to practice daily. So I would go to my
lesson poorly prepared, and feeling bad that I let myself (and my instructor)
down every time. EVERY time.

With Tony's approach, I have played my guitar 298 days since I started the TAC
program in November of 2022! And I have learned so much!

After years of just dabbling in guitar, I started a long journey of discovering
how to make learning guitar fun & sustainable.

After teaching guitar for over 18 years, what I’ve found is that the traditional
way to learn guitar is overcomplicated and promotes “mastery” and “practice”
over sustainability and enjoyment.

I wanted to fix that by creating a fun and intuitive way to learn guitar that
can be followed by busy people.

Most of my 35,000+ online guitar students are older adults who’ve been able to
start playing fun things in days, not months or years. How? By adopting the
intuitive, music-first approach to learning that our program provides.

Dan LaPlaca

TAC Member

Tony has a great teaching style and is very motivating and reassuring. He is
well aware of the difficulty and psychology behind where most guitarists get
lost in the process and he has strategies and a teaching method that addresses
these issues and gives you the best chance for success.

"You can tell there are years of experience and thought put into this program to
make it the most effective way for folks to learn guitar."

Thomas B.

TAC Member

"It enables you to realize what a guitar player really is."

It is much more than endless chord transitions without a path to colorful and
imaginative music. It is fun.

"Guitar has brought me and my kids closer together."

Before Tony's acoustic challenge I couldn't even make the chord changes. I'd
have a dead chord or my fingers wouldn't go in the right place.

Now that I've been a member of Tony's Acoustic Challenge, my core changes are
crisp and clean. I don't lose rhythm and I'm not stopping and starting over
again. My fingers are a lot more agile.

I never really realized what it would also do for me and my kids, bringing my
kids and myself closer together.

If it wasn't for Tony's acoustic challenge, I wouldn't be the player that I am
today.

Brian M.
TAC Member



"I'm now an instructor for Guitars For Vets!"

Before TAC, my guitar sat in the closet for 35 years. I didn't know what to
practice. I didn't have a practice routine.

It really helped me get things in line with the ability to improve to be a
better guitar player.

Now I'm an instructor for guitarsenal for Vets. It is a known fact that music is
a great therapy for people. And I feel really fortunate to help people in this
way. It makes them feel good. It makes me feel good.

Denny S.
TAC Member

"I'm playing for my family for Thanks Giving, Christmas and New Year party :)"

I recommend everything about TAC.

I have learned more in one week with Tony's program than I have in the past two
years. He breaks everything down into bite-size bits. I had an aha moment on 3rd
day and was able to do all the warm-ups and start on some of the chords,
strumming, and soon enough be playing music to my ears.

You're never too old to start playing either. I am a Great-Grandma and just
started up again and I am playing for my family for Thanks Giving, Christmas and
New Year party :). Lets get jiggy with it 🤣

Diana K.

"There is a solid structure which has been really helpful in helping me develop
skills"

I have been a TAC member for about 6 months. I played when I was a kid and got
stuck. For years! I did not like the idea of going back to lessons but was ready
to resume my guitar journey.

I like the idea of playing daily, but there are some weeks when I am traveling
or work is just too crazy. It doesn't matter; I just pick up wherever the daily
challenge is and try to jump back in. I love the format.

The flexibility is right up my alley, but there is a solid structure which has
been really helpful in helping me develop skills I never thought I could or
would, such as becoming comfortable using a pick or learning enough theory to
help me understand my guitar better.
