Your Biggest DTAA Questions. Answered Clearly and Honestly
These answers are based on real questions DTAA members asked So Far
Quick answers: If you join the new Six String Life Academy, you keep all your DTAA lessons, and your DTAA billing stops within 24 hours of upgrading. The Six String Life Academy is a 12-month journey you can take at your own pace (with extra time if you need it).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Is the DTAA still active, or is it being discontinued?
A: The DTAA will remain active for now and nothing is being removed.
It will be gently phased out by the end of February 2026, but you will not lose any lessons — everything will live permanently inside the Legacy section of the new Academy.
Q: Do I have to upgrade now?
A: No. You can stay in DTAA for the time being.
Q: If I upgrade, will I still be billed for DTAA?
A: No. Your DTAA billing will automatically be cancelled within 24 hours so you are never double charged.
Q: I'm unsure, what if I don't upgrade?
A: You have a choice. You can leave the DTAA and cancel your payments, or you can continue on the monthly plan.
If you stay on the monthly plan, you’ll be automatically moved into the new Academy at the end of February 2026 at the same monthly price, so your learning continues without interruption or any change to your payment.
If you’d prefer to upgrade now and move into the full Academy straight away, there’s also a special one-time DTAA member price below.
Q: What is the DTAA member price for the new Academy?
A: You get a special reduced rate as a thank-you for being a DTAA member.
On this page, your special price is $397 (or 3 × $147).
This price actually works out as less than 12 months of the DTAA. It's my special price to you. The public price is $697 right now, and later increasing to $997 so you get a big discount for being a valued DTAA member.
So, for clarity, you have three options:
- Option 1 – End your DTAA payments and leave.
- Option 2 – Continue paying monthly and be automatically moved over to the new Academy at the same monthly price.
- Option 3 – Pay the one-time special price below and have your monthly billing end.
Q: Do I keep everything I already had in DTAA?
A: Yes. Everything moves with you.
All your DTAA lessons appear in a Legacy section inside the new Academy.
Nothing is removed or lost.
Q: Is the new Academy a one-year programme?
A: Yes. It is a structured 12-month journey with clear goals, simple steps, live group calls each month, a stronger layout, better path, more clarity, updated lessons, community support, and all your learning finally organised in one place.
Q: What happens after the 12 months?
A: Two options:
Q: How long do I have access to the Academy?
A: You get full access for 12 months.
If you’re still working toward the clear goals inside at that point, your access continues at no extra cost until you reach them.
You are never rushed.
Q: Are there only five songs?
A: No. The Five Song Club is simply your starting milestone. Beyond that, you get access to:
Q: Do I keep the other courses I purchased?
A: Yes. All previous products remain in your account. And the new Academy actually helps you get far more out of them.
Q: How do the monthly group Zoom lessons work?
A: Once a month, we get online on Zoom (which is simple to use).
We share stories, I help students, and members share their wins. The community side of these calls has been wonderful so far and if you've been learning alone, these calls, and the other members, will inspire and motivate you. (If you can't watch live, you can watch the replays.)
On the calls, you will get guidance on whatever you are working on, and you benefit from seeing others coached too.
Q: What if life gets busy and I fall behind?
A: The Academy is built for busy adults. There’s no such thing as “behind”, just life.
You follow the 5-Star Path at a pace that suits you, and JamBuddy (my new tool) shows you your next simple step whenever you pick up the guitar, even after a break.
Your access lasts for 12 months and continues at no extra cost if you’re still working toward your goals, so you never have to rush.
A final question you might be wondering:
“I really like the DTAA… if it’s working, why change it? Why move everything into the new Academy?”
Here’s the honest answer: after teaching adults for over 12 years, I realised most people don’t need more content — they need a clear path, a plan that removes guesswork, and support that feels calm and encouraging.
The new Academy gives you:
And importantly — you don’t lose anything.
You keep all your DTAA lessons, all your songs, and the same relaxed pace.
You’re never rushed. You’re never pressured.
It’s everything you loved about the DTAA… just more organised, more supportive, and designed to help you make steady, confident progress.
