Yes that is the best answer I seen to a question. Your use of my example made it very clear. I have never played single notes so I thought I would do children's songs for practice is why I ask the question.
I've been trying to learn off and on for 3 years. I can play chords. Open, bar, and a few different 3 and 4 string chords on the high strings.(A B G D) but don't sound musical until I used the song backing tracks.
I am going to do your beginner 2 course next. I believe that i should be a very good place to continue my lessons.
Thanks again for your excellent advice.
