    Hi Brandon,

    I can’t say yes to any of your questions. I am in my 6th week of playing. I too have to start-stop-rewind all the videos. But I do tend to get most of the techniques. I try to get as close as I can before I feel the frustration. But I honestly feel that I am learning all sorts of things and making more progression than I ever did in the previous 22 years of dorking around trying to perfect a simple scale. I can see myself smiling in the mirror of my hotel room (pro pilot on the road for 15 days at a time). That 10 min thing; not so much. I am usually on the guitar for an hour. At home off rotation, I usually give about 30 min and mark the lesson complete. Bottom line, I am still having fun. Oh, and when I was at the FBO on a 3 hour layover awaiting passengers, I broke out my guitar and although I was in a small room the customer service reps came in to see what I was doing and expressed that I was making good progress and not running people out of the building.

    I am absolutely having fun. Eventhough I hadn’t taken a lesson in a bit, I noticed that I was making some new cross picking sounds and my wife noticed it. Very cool

    yes its been a journey that’s been off and on. I started in 2002 to learn to play with my son when we bought him his first guitar. But I was a Navy flight instructor by day, working on my masters degree at night and family distractions. The job never let up and so I was never really disciplined enough to get anywhere. That also coupled with the fact that I was stationed overseas etc. Had to sell my guitars to make child support payments and then again went overseas for work. So here I am years later, great guitars in the house and can’t play one song. But this course is getting me closer so much faster.

  • You are definitely an inspiration Sir!!

    Dude, don’t give up. Just work on the small pieces; that’s what I am doing. Some of the challenges come easier than others. For me, it’s the rhythm part and strumming as well as keeping time.
