Turn around and go through Level 1 and then 2 again. There is so much new stuff coming at you most people can't absorb it all. Even if you only go back to level 2 and redo the first 15 minutes I bet figure out or understand things you didn't catch the first time through.

Remember to take pride in little achievements and know you will hit walls. Walls can be friends they will force you to learn new things. I've been playing guitar for 40 years now and can assure you all walls are beatable.

First off, congrats Djmarkos on your achievement. Your dedication and hard work have paid off.

The above is great advice. I've done this myself and it's cool to pickup tidbits you missed the first time around. Things start to make much more sense.

If you are interested in improving your improvisation, the next levels help. I took the Blues course which gets into phrasing and some ideas of how to put a solo together. Anders' lessons and personal advice helped me bring my improvisation to a whole new level. He talks about taking licks and making them "your own". He demonstrates these ideas really well and before you know it you find yourself doing it.

Good luck!
