Now that I have another guitar coach, I am also gaining another perspective. What she says about learning songs is “keep doing it! It is so good to learn songs, is so important to learn songs, sometimes songs can be the best teachers if you learn the why and the how behind them. But we don’t want to get in the habit of where we are just learning songs. Be at least figuring out what key they are in, which scales they are using etc. We want to focus on things that make us better for when we do learn songs.”
So don’t let the song learning get in the way of your learning guitar! If you are going to add a new song to your playlist, then use it to advance your understanding of the nature of the instrument. “We are learning to speak the language of the guitar”.
