Great job Loraine. I am working to get to a point that I can play a full song as you. Inspired me, thank you.

Here are my two cents…

I finished the 30 days to Play, then I did the 5-day guitar routine, then I did the Skill Courses, so far, the first segment Getting Started which has 5 minis courses, and I am about to continue with the other mini courses within the Skill courses, Throughout the learning process I found discouraging to move to another lesson or course, without mastering or at least playing fairly to convince me that I could move forward. But I am convinced that I want to move forward, be exposed to new challenging and pursuing perfection along the way. I have clear in my head that I am a guitar player, I just need time to achieve my dream/goal. I am not naive thinking that only 10 minutes a day will get me to where I want. My belief is that there is no such thing as “talent” alone, unless this virtue comes with dedication, determination, consistence, practice and resistance against self-defeat. Based on the book “Outliers” from Malcolm Gladwell, to excel in anything in life, any human being will need at least 10K hours of practicing such target. Bottom line, keep moving and paying attention on your progress that you learn from it and get better…and better. This is what happens in life. You don’t master in something to live; you just live each day doing your best and learning from it. I hope I could share my learning guitar lesson’s strategy. Good luck for all peers.

I would encourage you to keep trying. The fingers will reach the strings powerfully with practice. Good luck.
