Hi folks

Am 54 and had my guitar for about a year

Been on GT for a year but going properly for a good 8 months now and really enjoying it but do have limited practice time so now just coming out the back of fundamentals 1 and the 5 chord power pack songs

My main frustration comes around trying to keep up with Lisa on the play alongs

I do appreciate the need to keep up and not worry about mistakes but I currently seem to be practicing mistakes in the rush to get to the next chord and I find this is now stopping me playing them ...

I read that some of you have decided to play along with a metronome set to half speed and worked up from there ?

Interested to know how that has worked for others as I've been doing that on Kiss From A Rose by Seal and have enjoyed it much more

I just think that I could be months trying to play even 1 of the songs in the 5 chord lessons at the speed in the play alongs and I'd rather get the chords right at a lower speed first on some of the really good beginner songs

Any pointers from you experienced folks would be gratefully received

Many thanks
