I've been around awhile now. My problem is that I am a workaholic and have little or no time for my passion. 


I desperately wish to learn and now I find myself at 70 working like I'm 25. I get frustrated when progress comes so slow, my timing is not what it should be. I have been at it long enough that chord changes and neck movement is good. 


I play many songs complete but always seem to just use any strumming I feel.  I have never made myself follow a pattern, there must be the timing issue.


I'm here I'll keep trying

Hey Mitch,


I am new on this site.


I share your frustration on progress on the guitar. You hit a plateau then you crack on.....I have retired now.


I have timing issues too. I strongly recommend you study carefully  the "Metronome song" in  Anders Mouridsen  Guitar Fundamental One, chapter2 Learning Rhythm. It is helping me at the moment.

You should set aside dedicated time for music, even if it's just 15 minutes a day. Treat it like an important appointment you can't miss. Buckshot Roulette
