    What a great story @Alfred . I think you’re right that she’ll want to pick up learning a new song in short time. You’re a wise father for recognizing how hard she worked to get to where she is and that it’s okay to take a breather and step back.

    I’m learning this lesson more along the typical lines I learn any lesson – the hard way. I tend to beat myself up and feel like a failure if I don’t seem to be working on something new or seeing some type of results. My father was a very hard and critical person and if I wasn’t working to his standards, he let me know in a very negative way. You’re not doing that, and I think your daughter will greatly benefit because of it.

    @Terry6422000 Great win – There really is no time limit on the challenge. However long you need, you should take. Remember though, you’re not striving for perfection … keep moving and learning. You can always go back to a lesson if you want to.

    Funny story about bootcamp. When I went in the Marines many, many moons ago, I was promised an engineering job based on my AFEES score. In basic, they learned I could type over 100 words per minute, and thus I became the chaplain’s secretary. I still haven’t forgiven them for that. Put a real dent in my wanting to be there.

    @JoeW Your playing has improved at a very rapid rate in a short period of time. Fantastic job on this improv – very melodic.

    I appreciate you saying I’m improving, because that means the world to me. I often can’t see it myself. I can see how things will get easier as I keep moving forward, because I remember not knowing a dang thing about the guitar when I started.

    You’re so kind @Alfred . Well, slow and steady has to work, because that’s the only way I know how to do it. For some reason I feel like my brain and hands just can’t speed up – LOL

    I do like the reverb (covers up some mistakes and makes it sound good) 🙂

    I truly appreciate your support @Lance-Hankins

    That’s so nice of you to say @TimK1 . I wish things came naturally to me, but sigh, I have to work so hard at everything. I’m off on a fingerpicking venture now (I alternate between flatpicking and fingerpicking).
