I have been told I am making good music , but for the life of me I am having a hard time learning songs. I can play the chords and strumming patterns, but it sounds nothing like the original song. Any suggestions?
I am stuck learning songs,,

Are you going right through the songs to the performance and jam sessions?
This year the diet is definitely gonna stick!

What songs are you trying to learn & play?
If it's a song in the GT song catalog, then I'd encourage you to check out the gear & tone lesson to try & approximate the original. And the next step is to learn the song chord for chord, strum for strum & note for note.
Hope that helps!
