Rich, my post was, of course, a little bit facetious. Depressing, yes, because when you play it back you do here the mistakes. But, that is positive in that you know what to work on.

I am working on a course called "Blues You Can Use" along with Guitar Tricks. (I am actually working several courses concurrently.) I recorded the the first lesson along with a backing track provided. Very simple little 12 bar blues progression. But GAWD what fun!!! It was more fun than sex (as nearly as I can recall.)

It was certainly the most fun I've had since starting this guitar journey! I've got that stupid, simple little 1 minute song going through my head non-stop now!!! lol
