@timbothirroul Great post and parallel paradigm — very, very true. In the beginning, it takes effort and thought to know what, where and when, and the correct presentation and clear chords, and fingering and having both hands and fingers work independently yet in tandem. It slowly begins to become 2nd nature, or what we call muscle memory. Then it picks up momentum and becomes easier and more natural seemingly overnight, and all of a sudden you can pick up on other new songs, chords, strumming or finger picking patterns, and begin adding embellishments rather quickly. It is so much fun. Don’t get me wrong, you still have learning curves and need to practice, but the learning curves are much shorter.
