That is awesome 🤘- here is a tip to try…..it worked pretty good for me when I was learning. Once you have your chord made, and it sounds good, just lift your fingers off the strings, leaving them in that exact same shape. Strum your open strings. Now, with your fingers still in that same chord shape, drop them back down on the strings to form the chord. Strum your chord, and be sure all your strings sound out…no bad sounds. Then repeat this for 8 or 10 times each. This helps your fingers / fretting hand remember the shapes so when you are moving from one chord to another, your shape is pretty well built before you get to fretting the next chord. Just something to try – it may help you like it helped me.

hey Blueslife 🤘- great to meet you – I am in that 30 day lesson – all the time – the exercises that he uses are totally different than the ones I used when I started playing – these are so much more focused! Incredible stuff – enjoy your journey

I hear you Steve, I’ve been playing a long time and that still throws me off. I am ok with the slap down, But when I have to do the scrape up and back down right quick, I generally lift my muting palm and the strings ring out 🤣

Thank you for that info 🤘It is not a big deal, I can easily use a metronome to time my tempo, I was just wondering that’s all. This is actually day 2 for me 😁 I have been playing a long time but by ear only. I cannot read music, nor am I familiar with much theory. Hopefully that will change here, and I went through the 30 days to prime course in 1 day. Fairly familiar with most of the stuff, BUT, very committed to acting as though I know ZERO! His approach to teaching is Far from anything I have seen before, and I have already learned as much or more here than any other online platform. His teaching technique is Awesome! I hope you are enjoying it so far, and if you ever need any kind of Support or just an outside opinion on anything, Anything at all, just let know 🤘 Thanks again.

Thank you Stevie. Hey pal – do not get discouraged about your memory. I am 61 years old, have played 1000’s of songs, and can barely remember the lyrics to 20 or so 😁😁.
