Hi! So in terms of the stage I'm at in GT I'm at Fundamentals 2. I'm trying to learn a song that is not taught in the course and when I strum, I'm noticing that I hit the pick guard a lot. It wasn't really noticeable at first until I recorded myself playing and now the tapping is much more noticeable when I play.

Just wanted some tips to get a cleaner strum going.

Also, when it comes to learning a song at the stage that I am currently at, when can I say "I have this song down". I've been practicing this song for over a month now and my chord changes are getting better, however I will sometimes not nail them everysingle time I play. Like I may go through the chord progression 3 times and all is good, but the fourth time I don't land the A Major chord smoothly. But I am much better than I first started, so at what point should I start focusing on a new song?
