10 Day Guitar Challenge
Today at 11am mountain time starts Tony Polecastro's 10 Day Guitar Challenge. Anybody on board?
I dig this guy and the TAC team so much I had to sign up for this. I haven't seen much said about Tony's Acoustic Challenge show on the AC Forum. Is he not popular here? I think he is one of guitars best advocates right now. |

I just signed up for the 10 Day Challenge but I can't do it live as I work. I have enjoyed Tony's lessons and how he has created a community of support for a lot of players. One of my New Year's resolutions is to create more time for my music and practicing so I will be taking more advantage of the TAC opportunities moving forward.
Best, Jayne |

I've signed up. I have Tony's 51 songs from "the vault" as well. He is very inspirational and genuine with a passion to teach others.

Yep, I’m a TAC member. Loved his “Frerboard Wizard” music theory course and various other lessons I’ve taken on his site. Signed up for the 10 Day Practice thing...but like Jayne will have to watch the taped episodes when I have time.

10 day challange

As far as being one of guitars best advocates, I would say he is Tony Polecastros' best advocate. Good for him! He has found a way to make a living doing something he loves in the music industry, which is no small feat in todays' environment. I fully support his entrepreneurial spirit. As a final thought, I'm not attempting to trash TP or his endeavors. But, if it takes a challenge for you to play 10 days in a row, maybe your desire to play isn't particularly strong. Let the flaming begin. |

I'm doing the 10 Day Challenge. Tony's approach is very cool. He is more about being a "Guitar Geek" rather than the stick in the mud "do it this way, not that way" guy. It is more like a hang out with some buddies and jam and talk guitar/music related items.
And yes, he aims for beginners and people stuck in ruts. He even states he is not here to play "face melting" guitar, but rather a more laid back approach. I think he is a better player than many think he is. I've seen where people talk trash about his reviews because he plays the same songs over and over, but I think that is brilliant. If you hear the same tune on each guitar, you can pick up the differences easier. Can go back years and do a side by side to a review released this week. I've read some reviews and comments where he has gotten people to play for the first time or to rediscover playing after giving it up. And maybe for some of the older crowd that has been playing for a long time, he might not offer anything new for them in the stuff that is free on line. But I invite you to check out his show "Acoustic Tuesday" on YouTube. It is not a guitar class, but rather a hang out with his buddies and talk about guitar/music related things. That is separate from "Tony's Acoustic Challenge" (TAC). Sure he isn't for everyone, but who is? |

Love Tony and I'm not sporting a beard nor tats! Seems like a really decent guy who adores everything acoustic. I wish I was as good a player as Tony. I signed up, but won't be able to participate because of this teaching gig I've got. Maybe I'll check them out on Utube.

Or maybe people have other commitments, family, work, etc, that make it difficult.
