I'm right there with you, Keith. I can play and sing to Cross the Line, but the next two songs have so many words, I just get distracted by trying to keep up with it all. I have a rhythm mantra I use for piano (much like counting one-and-two-and, etc.) and I played 'Begin Again' without the video at my own pace, with my eyes on the chord names, not the lyrics first. Later I was able to do this with the video at 75%, then at 100%. [br][br]Roll Like Water is a quantum leap from those two-chord songs. Three chords and more difficult changes. Yesterday I just drilled the changes, but that didn't translate to staying in sync with the slowed video today.[br][br]However, it will.

[br]My fingers last 30 minutes a day. My calluses after three months are not very hard. So, I just have to be patient. With harder calluses, my fretting will improve, so my guitarist friend assures me. [br][br]I started this course and bought my guitar mainly to improve my rhythm on the piano. My expectations have been far exceeded. I look forward to strumming a few chords to familiar songs with simpler melodies and fewer lyrics than Lisa's songs. Her sophisticated syncopated singing is nice as a backing track for our simple strumming, but I don't aspire to performing these songs.
