@dr_dave ,
Thank you for the incredibly thoughtful and encouraging reply. I’ve bookmarked it and also pasted it into a Word document so that I’ll have it for reference and encouragement.
I’m slowly working my way out of a guitar rut, mainly by playing almost every day for at least 25 minutes. I’ve been focusing on exercises, the major and minor pentatonic scales, and a few songs. I recently finished “Your Next 6 Chords” and also practice the F major and minor barre chords and the B major and minor barre chords.
You’ve now gotten me inspired to turn my focus to FBW. It seems like the course has been truly transformational to you and others. It’s very encouraging to think that FBW will accelerate the learning process. And how did you know that I still move the fingers individually when changing chords? It’s encouraging to think that it will pass. For now, G, C transitions are hard because so many fingers need to move at the same time.
I was really loving FBW last year when the holidays came and it just got away from me. As I peek ahead, there are some great upcoming lessons, like “How to Find the Key by Ear.” But first I need to finish the “Foundational Five.”
Thanks again for the advice and encouragement. Especially to ditch any expectations on how long it will take. I’ve had a guitar for years but I didn’t really play it much until I started TAC in May 2020. Although it feels like progress is slow, I still play almost every day. And my wife says the playing has gotten better.
