Ed–
That is no small win! Many/most of us can play the materials OK enough after enough goofing around/ working on it. But many times, being able to play it “easily” and “in rhythm” is a different story altogether.
My limited-knowledge tells me that if you can play something “in rhythm”— you’re beyond just the mechanical-part……… you’re actually playing the music.
This is a BIG win.

Thank you. I usually can’t play in rhythm after the lesson either

Ed-
I can’t remember who it was in here- (maybe Jumpin’Jeff?)- that once used the phrase “get lost in the music”. The rhythm may(?) come once you learn to STOP being mechanical, and learn to just play— and be— “within the song”. (I’m still workin’ on that myself, btw, still a long way to go).
Thanks for starting this thread!

My win is to came back here and start the process all over again after I bought a new guitar and sold the other one too big for me. Now I think it’s the good I will go trough my guitar journey till the end.
I have made the choice to purchase the best guitar for me and invested time in my practice.

I make an extra effort to work on the percussive rhythms because they seem to be hard for me. However they sounds so fun and once I get them down I feel rewarded. Good win.

Awesome win! Not an easy lesson because of the syncopation and timing.
As a side note, when we typically respond to a post or a comment made by you or someone else, we want to notify them that they’ve been mentioned or there’s an answer to a post . To do this, we use an ampersand and their screen name (I.e. @loraine). However, there can’t be any spaces in the screen name. For instance, there’s a space between Ed and M. To fix this, go to your profile page and change your screen name. You could put a dash or an underscore between them, or put the M after Ed without the space, or you could come up with any other unique screen name. When someone responds to you then, you’ll receive a bell notification (top right bell shape), and it will take you right to the topic and response when you click on it.
