    My first attempting this song, when I first heard Tony play this part through I thought no way, having spent 15 minutes going through it I’ve got the chords albeit slow changing and nearly got the cross picking down again slowly keep getting lost in the count but definitely feel like I can get this. Hope everyone else is doing well. Steve

    That’s remarkable! Huge win, isn’t it! I can tell you it didn’t go that well for me first time. It’s the fourth time for me and I’m still challenged, but far less now. I was a absolute beginner and now I’m a novice player, but growing daily.

    Much better second time through. Still slow and not great but not terrible. It’s starting to sound like music.

    I like to think my guitar muscle memory is going to be like my typing muscle memory. I took a class in high school and didn’t really get it. Writing papers in college, it was all hunt and peck. But after many decades of work typing all day every day, it’s second nature. I still make mistakes but can recover quickly. I’m hoping that’s where my guitar journey will take me and I can make music I can be proud of.
