Thanks

I', old and my first two songs I learned back when (in order) were Rush's Fly By Night the, Led Zeps' Black Dog. Fly By Night was easy enough for my but Black Dog has always been a challenging song to pick up even if you can play a bit. I made it a project to learn it. Meaning, I didn't expect that I would learn it in a night but that I was going to learn that song and whatever pace until I got it. It took my about 2.5 weeks of night half hour to 45 minute practices before I started getting the fingering and groove. Even after that, it was another week where I could play it kinda decently. So, that month and the one before it were the total time I had been playing.

Moral: No matter what you level now, if you take your time and work on something you can get it. It's the patience that is required. Set it as a goal and work through it.
