No, @mkjohnsons you’re not slipping! I’m with you. I want to have at least 10 songs that I can play without a music sheet in front of me. I am at 6 right now. I might muddle through them, lot of hesitating, but I do it. Take a song that isn’t way to hard and play a much as you can. If you make a mistake, start over (I have spent hours on this stuff and then have to repeat if the next day). I walk the line by Johnny Cash is a good one to practice to (download it from ultimate-guitar). If you get one verse down you’ll get them all, because it’s nothing but chord progression changes per verse. By the way have you taken the fretboard wizard course? It will help. Tony talks about a thing called Music Theory and how songs use chord progressions to make the song (i think I said that right). Here is something that @Brian2501 mentioned in a ‘small wins’ post of sounding out the melody of a song. I started doing it myself. I’m incorporating it into my ‘Jamming songs’ course study. If I’m saying any of this wrong, or someone has an easier way to say it, please jump in. In no time you’ll be making up jingles off of TV commercials.
