    Thanks @peter_m I would like to pay forward some advice. I struggled with the beat seems like forever they say use a metronome. I tried but singing knowing the chords keeping time was to much for my brain hand dexerity issues. So I rethought how can I get over this 1st I learned stumming in 2/4 3/4 4/4 6/8 played simple chords or muted the guitar. Until I could get that down then I worked on finger pick patterns doing the same thing with flat and finger pick. Then I got some advice buy a drum app but that didnt have what I wanted chords drum other instruments. Tried playing with bands but they dont like having novice skilled people. So I researched found Chordify it plays the tracks in time from the original along with vocals. Shows chords and keyboard layout and has drums and other instruments. Strum with the track first until the chord changes strumming match the track. When I get that far I work on vocals by memory then do the whole song by memory and how it sounds to me. Some I do acoustic some electric rock effects when I get all of that I decide acoustic electric or piano. I use the music to make my mind work throw in some improv note solos and start to post some I get in 3 tries some take way more before I get a postworthy take. Music is a journey I hope by telling you this you dont go through all the frustration I did. So thanks for listening in and commenting hope it helps.
