I agree– Michelle’s advice is right on!
I’m still struggling with tryin’ to figure out how to take those skills I’m learning in the Daily lessons and the Skills courses- (Barre and Jumpstart courses)- and begin to learn how to apply them to playing actual songs. When you- (and several others in this thread)- say, “play the simplest 2 or 3- chord songs”- (sorry- I’m still a relative beginner)- what do you mean by that?
Do you mean playing chords along with songs- (like tabbed-songs on, say, echords?). Or are you meaning learn to play songs like Freight Train where you are playing all the music– every note- just you and your guitar- that’s it.
There’s a big difference between those two. And if either of those is what you mean– great!
Again- can anyone offer advice on what’s the normal progression from going from skills, scales, and licks– to learning to play music?
A couple months back- (on the recommendation of one of our TAC Community’s most knowledgable)- I ordered Tom Heany’s book- “First- Learn to Practice” and it clearly defines the difference between practicing and playing. (great book by the way).
I am really sorry if this just sounds dumb- but I just wanna know how to start to build that bridge between the two.
Always searching– sorry to be a pain…….
