@brandonkhave no doubt that if you have a friend to play with and you have the desire, will, and ability, you will be playing faster and better and more complicated songs than that . Playing with others whether one on one, in a group jam setting, or going to open mics is where you really begin to grow.
In some circles, I’m considered a very slow learner, and in other circles, I’m light years ahead of them. Just goes to show that each of us is on our own journey, and we get out of it what we put into it.
I was too cautious and a perfectionist at the beginning. I began supplementing TAC, nearing my second year, with private guitar lessons, and the two complemented each other so well. The guitar teacher was not threatened by TAC and did not interfere. He odpften showed interest and we worked hand in hand on the same topic as TAC to supplement the material taught here. That is when my playing really began to blossom. I laugh, because, some would say I still have a long way to go, which is true, but you have to look at how far I’ve come.
