Take good care, and keep strumming! The best to you!

I have nothing to add on to what you have said except, yes. You just have to keep playing, day by day, incrementally, you work things out and get better. I started playing at an older age, and there is just no way to reverse aging, but I have found through stretching and consistent practice, I do improve. It just takes time, patience with myself, and the perseverance to keep going. Just enjoy each days time playing. The best to you!

Be patient with yourself. You are just beginning, and it takes time and consistency (more than most of us would like to admit), to see movement and improvement in any part of this; and to work out different things personally.
Looking at what your hands are doing is normal; especially to start with. Can you position your body/neck in such a way that you can get comfortable, and glance back and forth with just eye movement.
I am older, and for me personally, having lost some flexibility and dealing with joint stiffness; I have found stretching daily really helps for TAC and all aspects of life. I do finger and hand stretches (Tony has some exercises I believe in the skill section); and neck movement and rotation daily as a part of it.I am almost 4 years into TAC, having only learned a few basic chords (and not too well), previously. I am not where I want to be, but I am playing guitar, songs (and have posted some); and cannot believe how far I have come with consistency over time. The changes seem so incremental at times as to not be noticeable; but they add up and surprise you. Welcome to TAC. Make it an enjoyable experience.

The subtlety the palm muting brings to take us into the song is very effective. Calming vocals throughout; the harmonies, and tasty guitar on top that comes in the chorus; and most excellent mix; take us there. Well done!

@albert_d Thank you! The songbook is something I need to go back to once in awhile. There is a lot of good stuff there to gauge my progress.
