I would add that 2 things often overlooked that can help. 1st.- finger placement. Make sure your as close to the fret as possible. It will shorten the distance and strength required to push the string down for clear note. 2nd. set up. This was big for me and will be when I go to get a different guitar. I assumed when I bought my first it was set up correctly. After taking an in person lesson- the only thing I got out of it useful, was that the teacher noticed my guitars action was way to high causing me to have to work harder than I should to get a clear note. Check hose two things along with play time.

Thanks will be sticking it out. It’s hit my fightin side this time to where I am determined to to try and make some progress. I just gotta decode my brain a bit better to figure out the pattern of mechanics vs “theory” foundation that my brain accepts and calms the squirrel that gets lock down with information paralysis.

Found the skills courses…..will work through those. I forgot about the next 6 chords one also. Time signature one is where my brain gets into WTF did I just hear. To it (my brain) a 2/4 can be the same as a 4/4. I can feel a song a ride the rythm (not playing the guitar obviously) and not care timing signature is. I watched Tony’s video and obvious differences like a 4/4 versus say a waltz is in duh territory. I guess maybe there’s a correlation in bpm is where I should look to narrow it down?

Thanks. Reading the tablature isn’t the problem. Seeing it and translating it into action is where my brain goes -no. I’ve known how to read tab so to speak, however turning the text into mechanical movement is what my brain misses in translation. I was the same way in my mechanical career. Most things I have to learn with the doing. Not the seeing. Luckily most of the tests there were given very shortly after the books were gone over for certifications. Where it sinks in is the doing. So say like reading a time signature doesn’t register, however seeing it strummed and knowing how a waltz-ish sounds my brain jumps in and nails it.
