Josh - above... he has to take breaks so as not to get tired of it. I'm sure he's only tired because he's up too late, not because he's playing guitar!

Anyways... Just had my 3rd lesson. I'm moving into learning chords and chord transitions. I've mastered two strings at 126+ bpm and I'm working on the third string at 126 bpm. There's a lot for me to work on in the next week! I think that's the most important part about a teacher... telling you what to learn and giving you a period in which to learn it! It keeps you moving at a quicker pace than if you do it by yourself.

I usually end up doing about 25% more than the teacher lays out, but it's that initial work that provides the momentum.
