I'm sure If I keep at these 3 songs for months, I'll get it but I guarantee I'll be sick of the course by then. I just keep trying to play the 3 chords and not always with "that song". Learn the chord, that's whats important.
I think you and I said the same thing - don't stay on the lesson until you've mastered the song - move to the next lesson when you've learned the chords reasonably well.
Not sure if you were saying you don't agree with what I said or with something Matt said, but you and I agree 100%.
It takes as long as it takes unless you quit - then it takes forever and you will never get there.
