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.

STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
