But this is exactly what has to happen for every one: you have to repeat the process as many times as necessary for it to become second nature to you. Especially when you are trying to do 2 things at once. At least one of them has to be so automatic that you can think of playing or starting a song & your brain & hands take care of that physical process while you can focus on some other task, like singing.
[quote=sobolewski678]Should I push along to Fundamentals 2 now that the songs in Fundametals 1 have been pretty well mastered at this point? (Again, a few buzzes here-and-there but I can play each song decently well).
Absolutely, yes. Just keep practicing anything you want to become automatic until it is. :)[br][br]Hope that helps!
