Small Wins Sometimes Feel Big
My small win feels pretty big for me. I went back to the chord progression after trying the bass note transitions and it helped me a lot with the timing–was able to often get the bass notes in the right place before the next chord. Still struggle with memorizing this long chord progression but with tab in front of me it’s easy.
There’s a lot to learn in these lessons and some of it I don’t get easily–like counting timing, though I can hear it and usually feel it. Like the strumming pattern here a lot.
Maybe if I plugged in the words that would help? Or would that be another layer I’m not ready for.

Counting the rhythm is its own skill and can take time. I spend a significant portion of practice just working on my counting and rhythm using a metronome and it definitely helps. Working on areas in isolation speeds the learning process as you can’t learn multiple things at once. If you are trying to fret the chords, strum the rhythm, and count to the beat all at the same time, your brain will pick one of those to learn and it will be whichever you are giving the most focus. If you practice all 3 separately you will learn all 3 faster and will have better results when putting them all back together.
