Well, I've been playing for a little over 6 months now. Finding time to practice is a struggle, but I've been persevering. Here's the video:
Guitar Progress - 6 Months
If you ask me, my strumming in the beginning isn't all that great. I think I've regressed a bit there. I've also really gotta get to the point where my fretting fingers land at the right location. I notice, especially on my C chord, that my fingers slide into place after landing.
If you stick around long enough, you'll be treated to (or horrified by, depending on your perspective) the song that my 9 year old son and I have been working on for the past few weeks. It started with a simple power chord riff that I came up with on the spot months ago and we built off of that. I know it's not a masterpiece, but I think it's catchy and fun to listen to. It is very satisfying to write a song. I definitely think I'll keep writing songs!
Anyway, I'll probably do a separate video for the song, to keep them segregated from the guitar progress videos. My son sang the song, and I got a lot of footage of him doing so, so I'll try to get some of that in it.
Thanks for watching! Constructive criticism welcome.
BTW, I've created a blog. Not much on it yet, but if you're interested, check it out: Guitar Progress Blog
