Just like Pete said, don’t worry about not being able to keep up. It’s your journey, if you feel like you’d rather spend more time, do it. I have been with the course for 14 months, there have been a few weeks when I just felt like sticking with the previous week or something that I wanted to improve, so that’s what I did. I can promise if you spend some time, you will improve. It will not happen overnight.
Tony’s suggestion of recording yourself will pay off. If you’re like most it’s difficult to make the first few, it seems like as soon as you hit the record button you forget everything you knew and your fingers will not cooperate. But it does get easier, and when you look back at recordings from months ago compared to recent ones it is very satisfying.
Hang in there, the journey isn’t easy, but it becomes addicting.

Spent some time today looking up versions of Wagon wheel and came across yours! Really Cool, enjoyed listening to it! Thanks!

That was Fantastic! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Marty! Just listened to your Tequila Sunrise cover, it was Awesome! Definitely inspiring!

Hey Gavin, I was basically playing Tony’s version Lovely Place tab. Hotel California is essentially the same except it is much longer repeating the same thing for the verses and chorus. Without vocals playing the whole thing is just too monotonous to listen to. I just added the intro with the arpeggiated notes to sound similar to the recording.

Thanks Braden! The D to F is still a bit wonky, and trying to be less mechanical with the strumming is my goal! Thanks for listening, my friend!

Thanks Braden! I can play the chords and strum the song, but looking forward to playing someday with style, like your version of Wagon Wheel! Sadly, I’m a long way from being able to strum and sing at the same time. Haven’t been able to do more than single strums while singing.

Thanks Jack! Look forward to picking up my guitar every day!

Thanks Pete, compared to my first two versions, my chord changes have become much less choppy! Thanks to Tony!

Thanks Phil, it’s fun to finally begin to put it together!
