I have been working hard 6 months. I still dont have the skills for many songs. I work alot with the 12 bar blues, alot of the jams on this site use 12 bar, as I go along I keep finding more, today I am working on boogie fill 12/8 fill lesson one, with the solo fill and I got the chord progression from the root notes so in between I am working on bare chord's. Also I picked up a scale book and spent alot of recent time pounding A- scale into my head w/metronome.

I think it all adds up over time, but I still would like to get better faster. If you find the key, other than practice and more and more, post it so I can get it.
