I've been playing pretty consistently for about 8 months and although I have progressed I still cant play songs that every instructor on this site says is easy.
I know how to form all the major chords and a few minor ones, but I cant change between them in a beat or two. I know a few scales but even after hours and hours on end I can't pick up speed without screwing up. I did the Core learning system all the way to Blues 1 level but I just dont have any accuracy or speed. I spent the hole day today trying to figure out the strumming that Lisa McCormick does in Bobby Mcgee. She plays it slow which I can do and it sounds a certain way but then she says "get loose with it" and it sounds like something totally different but I have no idea what she did. How do you get loose with it? Other than the Core Learning system, is there anything on this site acoustic that is for beginners that cant do the so called easy songs?
