@petelanger That’s great! I’m so happy for you.
Your experience sounds a lot like my first experience including the tablet on the floor. That group would also go around the circle and have each person pick a song and they were all better than me.
I’ve since found a different group that meets every Monday and they are setup a little different. There is one person that kind of leads the jam and he screen shares his tablet to a TV screen in the room. So everyone can see the same Ultimate Guitar screen and it helps a little more with everyone staying together. There are some very talented guitar players in the group, many who have been playing 30+ years and they are all so helpful. I learn some new technique at every jam which is the main reason I keep going back. I’ve learned almost as much there as I have here at TAC.
Singing and playing guitar is hard and is a skill just like everything else. As the skill has developed it has gotten easier. One tip someone gave to me was to start off just humming the song, before attempting to play it, do that for a few weeks/months. Then sing the lyrics in your head for another few weeks/months. Then when comfortable you can actually sing it. This approach accelerated my ability to sing songs.
I am very excited to hear about the next one.
