I think the biggest obstacle to progress is I am also continuing to learn new songs, usually from the 50's to 70's. (Too many songs not enough time.)...

Ain't it great? A month or two back something happened to me I never thought would... After years of multi-hour, six days a week practice I hit a wall with GT lessons. Who knew? :rolleyes: So I'm taking a break from lessons, scales and other exercises with that great auto-increase GT metronome and learning/playing songs instead. Despite the new additions to my repertoire my to-do list is still growing...I love it!

I'll get back to the lessons some day soon but, in the meantime, practice is funner than ever and 'my' songs have improved.
