@the-old-coach , The dailies are great to do. Gets you going, shows you different picks and strums. But, I want to play at least 10 songs by memory. So if someone hands me a guitar and says, “I heard you can play” I’ll be able to play at least 10 songs. Concentrate on the ones you love, it will make it easier.
This is something I just started doing (along with learning my 10 songs) which is helping me out. I sit down and figure out the melody. Yesterday by the Beatles is an easy song. Just sit, hear it in your head and try to find the notes (i write them down as i go). Cheat and just get the first note down and go from there.
I have been listening to Billy Strings (bluegrass). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6U6NCvOfl8 . The video shows a lot of close ups of their hands while they are playing the guitar. I have decided to learn Bluegrass. The flat picking Tony shows really helped me here. I’m doing the same thing. Hear it in my head and give it a go. I think i have 3 or 4 notes written down so far. de de dedal de de de dedal de de de dedal de de. Go to the Song Vault, there is a song on the flat picking side called ‘Bluegrass Rhythm’. It’s not too hard and it reminds me of the challenges.
I hope this helps with your question. Right now, I have forgotten what the question was and might just be rambling to myself.
