Hi scottrpileggi,

It actually sounds like you're pretty great at practicing. You're doing all the right things, you're going slow, you're repeating lessons, and working your way through so that you can play with the backing tracks in time.

The biggest issue seems like you're getting tired of the same thing, over and over again. I always recommend taking a break from the courses, and jump into a song lesson. Song lesson are so great at reinvigorating your love of playing.

I suggest going to the songs section and finding a song you like and learn how to play it.

What do you think?
