Thanks, yeah, I thought you'd probably say that. I guess if you had a dollar every time you had to tell a student there were no quick and easy answers, you'd have plenty in the bank.ðŸ˜
Anyway, I'm still motivated. I just look back at other songs I had the same problem with in the past that I can do now, so there's no chance of me quitting. Sweet home Alabama on one of my previous threads is a great example. My strategy has always been to learn relatively difficult songs that stretch me, and I mostly avoided plateauing so far.
one worry I do have is whether spending all this time learning difficult parts absolutely note for note might hinder improvisational ability when I get better. Like giving a presentation, I never learn a script word for word. Is there anything in that? Or would you expect locking in the mechanical skills, as now, will stand me in better stead in future?
