I am starting to get relaxed with my playing, been trying to hard
This my 2nd time through this and I finally got it.
I was holding down the cord shape and lifting my finger off the string for open string notes.
On a hunch I tried holding all my fingers off and only fretting one string with the suggested finger.
It worked great, no more sour notes, no buzzing, and I was keeping the timing too. I played most of the nots with my thumb, index and used my pinky to fret the low E.
I went back and watch Tony play (full screen) and it looks like he was doing the same thing.
I am very pleased; it’s been 35 weeks in the program and it’s starting to come together.
Still a long was to go, but real progress today. -

Congratulations. This is a great song to have fun with. And you get to sense your progress as you complete a second pass. The system works.

Yes, does. You have to stick with it and not become overwhelmed when you don’t quite get it.

100% spot on observation right there. It was not an easy thing for me to put into practice. I was sure I needed to get a whole presentation start to finish to make the lesson worth while. What I did not get is the whole point of chunking the lessons. Take away one thing, just one thing and next time you will take away another and that makes two and in 3000 sessions, that is alot of one things…too many to list…my roladex brain now spins like a wheel in the sky intuitively accessing these lessons in total at any given time as I play. Take the leap of faith trust in the process. It worked for me. I will admit it took longer than I thought. : )
