I am really happy for you @Guitargeezer-Jack because that realization is huge. It makes the difference between having fun and progress and continuing in a guitar rut.
Tony has explained his method in various videos and on the AT show. So many people either don’t watch the “basic” information or they don’t understand it. I was one who had difficulty understanding. Of course, my brain told me I understood, but I didn’t really get it until @jumpinjeff and @dr_dave beat it into my head that trying to “master” anything, a lesson or a technique or the guitar in general, was actually counter productive.
The idea is to “try” to do a lesson. If you can do it, it’s too simple. You must be challenged if you are to learn. It doesn’t really matter how over your head it seems. If you just keep at it, you will notice improvement. And since Tony’s lessons cover the range of guitar skills, you will improve all across the guitar skill board.
Congratulations. This was a really huge deal for me. I was able to have more fun and therefore started making advancement quite a bit faster… because I wasn’t trying and I didn’t care… go figure.
