Hi Kevin,
i am new as well. Just started a week ago. I have been dabbing for 20+ years but never really become a guitar player. All the stuff that I have seen so far has been a review of what I already know but really enjoying it. I have a feeling of where I am heading to after a year or so of becoming a member. Will I be better than I was? I think so or I better be. I already see some improvements when I played some of the songs that I have been playing before. My timing seems to improved and my chord placement and fingering. I believe it has a lot to do with the daily challenge that I have been doing. Like you, I also want to hear from those who has been a member for a long time. All I can say is I am having so much fun and more so than before.
