Great to see so many new faces on this thread, please keep posting, I echo Lisa's comments -- being able to talk with other students really helps.

I'm still 50 for another few months. I finished Fundamentals 1 and 2 and have been working on the Country 1 and Blues 1 courses. The Country and Blues courses are very easy once you have completed the Fundamentals courses and I can't describe how happy I am that Lisa M made us learn and practice ALL of those things in the Fundamentals courses because she really prepared me well for anything that I might want to learn next. Probably the 100th time that I've thanked her, but "thank you Lisa!"

I am taking my time with a few songs, learning the lyrics and the timing so that I can sing and play together. It can get a bit dull, I've been playing the same 5 songs over and over for a few weeks now, but I'm getting better every day and I chose songs with different challenges (Open to Barre chord progressions, the B7 chord, chord to melody change up, fast tempo, changing tempos for chorus and bridge), so as I master these songs, I'm mastering techniques that will make the next songs that much easier.

Thinking about trying the singing lessons on GT, has anyone tried them?
