Too fast
It’s OK for Tony to say “don’t stop” “mark it as complete” when it’s nowhere near complete and never will be at your speed. The way you ripped through the ‘blues’ section left to totally lost. I’m struggling to get my index and ring fingers to bridge the gap between 3 fret spaces i.e. fret 3 and 5 of the low ‘E’ string, so what is the use of me saying this section is complete if I can’t even do that? At this pace I might as well gdet my money back!

Trust the process. Next time around your hand will more easily make the stretch. I had to work getting over the need for perfection but you are on a journey and the destination eventually arrives (only to be replaced by a new waypoint. Don’t let perfect be the enemy and rob you of the joy of any small win. You will get it.

Hi Jim. I hear your frustration. Even though you mark a lesson complete after 10 minutes, you can still continue to practice it. But the point that I believe Tony is trying to make is that with every effort you make (we are not shooting for perfection, just progression), you will continue to move forward and get better. You may not be able to play the lessons well right now, but the next time the lesson comes around, you should be able to see your progression since the last time. Tony just doesn’t want to becoming stagnant trying to perfect a skill or lesson. It is important to recognize this and to continue moving forward to the next lessons.
